In my 100th post and on Halloween especially, I present the 5 scariest songs ever! And not the ones that are just shouting!


Radiohead - National Anthem
It spooks me out as soon as that sinister bass line kicks in, there's something evil in the track and Thom Yorke's vocals don't help out, been amplified with a weird metallic effect, he sounds like a squealing robot and i mean a robot IN PAIN. Plus singing "everyone's got fear" is just scary enough.

Arcade Fire - My Body is a Cage
The church organ does it for me, the lyrics are sinister and foreboding enough, but the organ, god damn it sounds evil and damning, like this tale leads to hell. The drum beat as well, what's that about? it sounds like it could jump out and attack someone

Justice - Stress
You'd be forgiven for thinking you were suddenly in some highly tense movie. The beat is just freaky, ain't it? building and building like danger is round the corner, I would not like to listen to this while out at night.

The Zutons - You've Got a Friend in Me
It's not the music here, but the sinister stalker lyrics, it's just frightening the prospect of what the singer describes.

We Are Scientists - Ghouls
I chose this basically because of the title, that's scary, right? It's got a slow, mellow but also frightening beat, the questioning lyrics sung almost monotonously add to the suspense/tension


So there you have it, I hope you're significantly more frightened than you were say half an hour ago.

100th post CELEBRATION TIME - waheeeeeeey what a milestone!

is this possibly the weirdest two tracks posted together at any one time?

Monkey - Monkey Bee
This is a brilliant track off of the Monkey musical soundtrack, there's a live action impressive vid for it, slightly edited version of the song though I think, well i love the chinese dance vibe it gives off, great!


Canned Heat - Let's Work Together
This song i heard the other day and remembered it's inclusion in Big Fish by Tim Burton. It fits in really well with the scene and is a generally good song.

I need to blog more, 6 so far this month is just poor.

If you're familiar with this blog you may have read me going on about Feral Mare a fair bit, well their drummer and a friend of mine, Tom Clements has recently joined this other band who I'm liking very much. The name is run, WALK! and people who listen to XFM may be familiar with them as they were recently part of that uploaded thing right? well they could've won the chance to support the subways and unfairly lost out.

But anyway, they're really good, saw them the other day in the railway inn in winch, £5 entry you can't go wrong. The songs sound much better live aswell, it may be because the recorded tracks don't have tom on them, he's been described as changing the band "from the white stripes to death from above on crack" a observation fairly made.

run, WALK! - GOD! I hate old friends


In other news, I love itunes, it may because i'm using a mac now but i was once adversely against apple's music player. It does have downsides but majoratively its awesome, the genius feature is bona fide ingenuity. Well my last played on itunes are:

Girl Talk - Don't Stop

Laura Marling - Captain and the Hourglass

The Streets - Fit But You Know It
