During Halloween Frenzies past, we've usually started the month off with a music video to prep the workspace, though not usually something seasonal.
Bat for Lashes' 2007 single "What's a Girl to Do?" doesn't tread into goth territory or have particularly gruesome lyrics. It does dissect (vivisect?) a dying love -- not the object of affection's death, rather the death of the feeling.
The video Bat for Lashes (aka Natasha Khan) made for the song does unleash some cartoon creepiness. It plays out like a dream, with a nighttime bike ride down the middle of a backwoods road, the forest hemming her in, and some surprises along the way.
If you've never seen it before, have fun. And if it's a rerun, it's not like you're doing anything more important right now.
