This is the finale for the Halloween Indie Rock Songs playlist mix series (back to regular programming on Monday with a lot of great new music). Unlike the other mixes, Vol. 13 is not limited to 13 songs because there are just too many left over to share with all of you. What better way to start off the last mix than with the newest track from Radiohead, "These Are My Twisted Words."

Following Radiohead is a track from Of Montreal (photo, above), plus a song from the now-defunct indie supergroup called the North American Halloween Prevention Initiative. The song, "Do They Know It's Halloween?" was co-written by Islands, and ex-Unicorns, member Nicholas Diamonds along with an ensemble that included members of bands like Arcade Fire, Rilo Kiley, Wolf Parade, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beck, Sonic Youth, Les Savy Fav, Buck 65 and Peaches.

Great Halloween-Theme Songs Exclusively from 2009

"Heads" is the first UK radio single from the Herm's 2009 album, Monsters. The song's bopping sound cleverly disguises its otherwise ghoulishly odd lyrics that suggest cannibalism of the author himself, who strangely seems to find solace in his own demise: Step one/rub me down with grease/step two/cook me in the fire/Step three/cut me into pieces/eat me when I’m done.
