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.

I've always HATED the term electronica, much like I dislike most generic labels (house, techno, downtempo, indie, etc.). I think "mainstream" if I hear a band described in one those terms. To me, the best artists or groups are the ones who can't be so neatly categorized - the ones who have their own sound. Here are a couple electro "tron"icas that most definitely don't sound like anyone else.
