Red Light District – "Lizard Girl" (2011)
2011/10/10I have been totally addicted to turntable.fm since early August. Aside from being the best "radio station" in the world, it has given me an opportunity to actually meet people who are in bands (virtually), including Juliette from Red Light District, who played some music for those of us in the "room", and I share one of the songs with you now. Cool, no?
Zombina and The Skeletones – "Nobody Likes You (When You're Dead)" (2002)
2010/10/17
Two weeks until Halloween! Two weeks of Halloween (appropriate) tunes! Any suggestions? It doesn't have to reference Halloween, of course. Anything Dark, Gothic, or Horrific will do! I'll kick off this set with Zombina and The Skeletones!
PS: See the total Halloween playlist here.

Peter Murphy – "I'll Fall with Your Knife" (1995)
2010/06/21
I LOVE this song. It is an epic ballad of love and devotion. I hadn't heard it in years and years, and then it was on the radio randomly and it almost brought a tear to my eye.
Well if the birds
can reach the sky
to this land
I'll be with you
till the sun bursts from your side
with my hands
I'll reach to you
when you think your chance is passing by
when you blow your moon away
I'll bleed like the reed
fall with your knife
it's here I'll be with you

Album of the Week: The Cure – "Disintegration" (1989)
2010/01/31Track 4: Lovesong:
The Cure's "Disintegration" is the all purpose album for those in the dumps. Regardless of your source of solace or depression, whether it be loss of love, self-esteem, hope, or worse, you will find a companion in "Disintegration". It is better to embrace the gloom to work through it and to put your focus on a movie or an album, than your own life sometimes. If not now, it will happen in the future. When it does, you can pull this one off the shelf and let The Cure heal your wounded soul as a sympathetic presence.
Here are my 5 favorites from the album, with "Lovesong" being my favorite.
Track 1: Plainsong
Track 2: Pictures of You
Track 4: Lovesong
Track 6: Lullaby
Track 10: Disintegration

Marilyn Manson – "Putting Holes in Happiness (Nick Zinner Remix)" (2007)
2009/10/17
I played Guitar Hero 3 not long ago, and this song is stuck in my head. I like this remix by Nick Zinner, guitarist for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, better than the original (probably just because of the rocking beat and guitar riffs), but you decide:
I think that with Halloween approaching it is only right to start playing some Halloween friendly music. In fact I'll try to give you a different one each day from now until Halloween. There is so little actual quality "Halloween music" that isn't gimmicky or kitschy. I've always thought of Marilyn Manson as a good pick for Halloween though.
To prove my point, listen to "The Beautiful People" and tell me it does not incite ghouls and goblins:

Dead Can Dance – "Saltarello" (1990)
2009/08/07
Due to being awoken by work on my first day off in months, I am super late in posting my song of the day. My employer lost power, and although we have invested in expensive things like generators and battery universal power supplies to ensure our systems would not suffer, they failed. Yay! My only question at the end of it was, who do we have to beat to get those things working? If we cannot get them working, then can we sell them?
But I am not angry, just annoyed and mostly tired. Shit happens, especially when you are actually trying to get some rest and relaxation. Plus at least I was not called until 6 AM, instead of the poor guys who were called at 1:30 AM! So I chose this song by Dead Can Dance to lighten my mood, and perhaps yours too!
