Music suggestions please

[ragani]

I am putting together the playlist for the Monsters! game night that is happening on November 2nd. I have decided that I am going to have to be very flexible with the theme since there are only so many songs that are clearly about monsters.

Any suggestions?

well the monster mash must be on there:)

Good point. I wonder where I can get a copy of that without having to buy the whole CD. I also need Thriller.

Aha! I found Monster Mash.

I've got a bit of horror movie soundtrack music available, if you want to piss off the RIAA. All instrumental, though.

Let me know, and I can make them available to you - mp3 and iPod format are both available.

That might be good to fill out the playlist.

possibly

here is the list that I was thinking about last night...

Moon over Bourbon Street - Sting

Pet Cemetary - The Ramones

Monster in my Pants - Fred Schnider (B-52's)

Tubular Bells - there is a dance version on Book of Love's Lullaby that is really good.

Carmina Burana (if you can find a tecno dance version)

Little Drop of Poison - Tom Waits (almost anything by him would work actually)

Lullaby - the Cure

more later

You do know you are going to have to bring some of these with you next time you come over, right? I do have Sting, and Tubular Bells covered, and Enigma does a Carmina Burana mix on The Screen Behind The Mirror. Oh and Lullaby, of course. But the rest I may need files for.

Hmmm... that would require time at home to reasemble my desktop to check and see if I had the warewithal to rip them before I sold them to pay rent...

(I forsee a trip to Rasputin in the future...)

The Monster that Ate Cincinati (You probably could find it on a Dr Demento collection)

Almost anything off "Evidence of Heaven" album by Faith and the Muse...

Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd

The Battle of Evermore - Led Zeppelin

Still more later...

Oingo Boingo has a few.

Dead Man's Party
Weird Science
And a vareity of horror-themed songs such as, "Stay", "Just another day" and such

[ragani.livejournal.com]

Oingo Boingo was the first place I started, so Dead Man's Party and Weird Science are the first songs I added to the list! I will listen to the others to decide what else works if I need more.

Jonathan Coulton's "Re: Your Brains" would be Excellent, and it has a youtube video.

His "Skullcrusher Mountain" is ok, but it's more mad scientist.

[ragani.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I thought about putting Skullcrusher Mountain on the SciFi list from last month. I will go take a listen to the other one, it sounds like a it could be a winner.
