Secondhand Sunday: The Raveonettes “Attack of the Ghost Riders”
Today’s Secondhand Sunday is truly a blast from the past for me. Take a peak at one of the first videos by the dark folks in The Raveonettes titled “Attack of the Ghost Riders.” When I worked in a record store when the EP for Whip It On
first came out, it was all the rage. Haunting, thrilling, brilliant, all in the key of Bb minor. It still sends chills down my spine. Check it out!
