I felt mysteriously compelled to compile some dark tracks on the site tonight (as I am wont to do on particular dates/holidays) since once again it's Friday the 13th. No death/black metal or anything inherently malevolent by nature. Just things off the HD that fit with the theme (somewhat).

So, in honor of the day and in the spirit of keeping music evil, here are 13 ways of turning to the dark side...

Chromatics - The Killing Spree
Ceremony - Nothing Inside
David Gilmour Girls - Crimson As Murder
Ladytron - I'm Not Scared
Darker My Love - Post Mortem, Post Boredom
Absolute Body Control - Into The Light
Kiko - 7 Minutes
Automat - Eau Trouble
The Consumer - Dissociaty Identity
Neon Electronics vs. The Hacker - Better Way
Gosub - Lost In Our Ways
New York City Survivors - The Shadow
Eggfooyoung - Bad Dream

I'd say enjoy, but that's not particularly scary. How about what Elvira, Mistress of the Dark used to say...Unpleasant Dreams!

Seeing that today could be The Apocalypse, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to post some favorite "EVIL" tunes for you all, my satanic robot minions.

Saturday morning, March 25th, was not a good time to be at an After Hours party for several Seattle ravers who had attended "Better Off Undead," a Zombie-themed event. A 28-year old whack job from Montana, in an appararently random act of violence, killed six zombies and critically injured two more before turning his shotgun on himself. Here's a link to this sordid tale.

I'd like to take this moment to observe a moment of silence for our fallen zombie brethren. Tragedies like this should bring zombies and robots as well as ninjas, pirates, monkeys and French people closer together. We all need to watch out for each another and stay on the alert for psycho killers. On the real!
