Vampyrer og El Perro del Mar

Those two don’t really go together, but that's what I did.

Today I stuck a sort of mini theme inside the regular show: vampires. Why? I’d been listening a lot to this song, Blah Blah Blah, by Say Hi to Your Mom (now, somewhat lamely, just Say Hi) and it talks about drinking blood. Okay -- it’s far better than it sounds. Anyway, after a while it occurred to me that there were several other vampire-related songs I liked. And, since the answer to the question ‘Who doesn’t love vampires?’ is clearly ‘Nobody,’ I decided to make a little vampire set. It actually wound up being seven somewhat vampiric songs mixed in with the rest.

I probably won't do anything like this again -- at least not for a while -- but it does make things interesting.

Her er spillelisten:

1. Blah Blah Blah – Say Hi to Your Mom
2. Ghost vs. Vampire – Quasi
3. Slide Song – the Afghan Whigs
4. Lisa Could Die for Elvis – Yellowish (DK)
5. VVVampyre! – Saint Jude’s Infirmary
6. Glory to the World – El Perro del Mar (SV)
7. Love and Nostalgia – Friday Bridge (SV)
8. We Move in Silence – Club 8 (SV)
9. Come on Rainbow – Cake on Cake (SV)
10. From the Devil Himself – Viva Voce
11. Werewolf – CocoRosie
12. From Off to On – the Knife (SV)
13. Take Me Home (Johan Agebjörn remix feat. Sally Shapiro) – Don Juan Dracula (SV, SV, NW)

Just to clarify -- not all of the songs follow the theme. For example, El Perro del Mar has absolutely nothing to do with vampires; nor has Club 8. I’m not, however, so sure about the Knife…
