Do They Know It’s Hallowe’en?
Yeah, so it’s Halloween, woo. In case you haven’t seen this yet on the thousands of other sites that featured it, the NORTH AMERICAN HALLOWEEN PREVENTION INITIATIVE (NAHPI) has released a parody of the Live Aid classic, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” for Halloween, logically titled, “Do They Know It’s Hallowe’en?”. Anyway, the NAHPI is made up of a star-studded cast, featuring: Arcade Fire, Beck, David Cross, Devendra Banhart, Feist, Syd Butler (of Les Savy Fav - he went to Maret, the round room in the library is named after his mom (Kay Kendall), I went to a couple hockey games with him once, we’re totally bffxlxl), Peaches, Postal Service (Jimmy Tamborello), R.E.M., Rilo Kiley, Smoosh, Sonic Youth, Sum 41 (omgz), Wolf Parade, and Karen O (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs). If I were less lazy I would make a joke about Sum 41 being the odd band out in that group, but it’s obviously been done before and, yeah, I’m too lazy. It’s a fun song, definitely the best Halloween-themed song ever (I said it), and you can watch the video below if you need to get in the mood for tonight’s festivities.
