Project Mixtape Week – We Are Vain And We Are Blind

in Stuff I Like

Today, I thought about a mix of nothing but songs from horror movie soundtracks, but really, there’s not a lot of merit to most horror movie soundtracks.  But since I do love the horror genre, the idea of a murderous mixtape appealed to me.

1. Secret – The Pierces

2. Wilco – Bull Black Nova

3. Psycho Killer – Talking Heads

4. Cannibal’s Hymn – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

5. The Ledge – Lori McKenna

6. Satin In A Coffin – Modest Mouse

7. Comin’ Home – Murder By Death

8. Wrap Your Arms Around Me – Barenaked Ladies

9. Angry Johnny – Poe

10. Die Motherfucker Die – Get Set Go

11. Hipster Vigilante – Felix Sarco

12. The Last of the Famous International Playboys – Morrissey

13. You Could Make A Killing – Aimee Mann

14. The Boogie Monster – Gnarls Barkley

15. Michael Myers Resplendent – The Mountain Goats

16. One More Murder – Better Than Ezra

I promise things will be more upbeat tomorrow.  In keeping with the mixtape theme, look for my take on Jennifer’s Body later today.

what, no cannibal corpse? ‘murder by numbers’ by the police? :)

I avoided death metal. That would have made it too easy (and I don’t think I own any Cannibal Corpse).

Murder By Numbers made the long list, but I cut it when I pared this down to mixtape length. I think I assumed everyone would expect me to put it there, and thus, being a contrarian, I didn’t. (Psycho Killer was the notable exception to this rule. I love Psycho Killer.)
