October 2026

I've added a mixed version of the 'fleurs du mal' playlist to last year's Halloween post. You can listen to it on Mixcloud.

I've updated the fleurs du mal post to include annotations for the playlist. I've added details of the Baudelaire poems each song is based on, with links to read each poem in French and English. Some sources have been added, which include some very interesting reading on music inspired by Baudelaire.

I've added a Site News page to note updates to Spiked Candy. Follow this page to learn about any new features, updates to older posts, and more. You can subsribe to the RSS feed linked at the top.
