Born and raised in the wilds of Staten Island, I made my way to WRRV way the hell back in 2004. I left for the big city, and then magically my radio station went under.

Send me email or connect with me on Facebook and Twitter!

It hits all the right spots.
Obviously this is a great Halloween song that needs to be on everyone's playlist, but I'm curious about what YOUR favorite Halloween song might be...

Check Out Jimmy Eat World’s Buzzcut Song As Acoustic
