speed of dark

Time Travel Tuesday! Better late than never, in more ways than one.

A couple of Fridays ago on Halloween I wanted to post a couple of songs, but at that time I had not received permission to use them. I have received the OKs since then, however. I need to learn how to plan ahead better.

On the list of my favorite albums ever is the 1995 soundtrack from the movie The Crow, which starred the ill-fated Brandon Lee. This fierce, gut-ripper of a song by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult is one of several great tracks on this perfect-for-Halloween collection: The Cure's "Burn," Machines of Loving Grace's "Golgotha Tenement Blues," Nine Inch Nails' "Dead Souls," and Jesus and Mary Chain's "Snakedriver."

The Thrill Kill Kult is still going strong! In fact, "America's Most Dangerous Kult" are on their 20th anniversary tour this fall and have posted dates and venues on their website. Thanks to Tina Cassanova at TKK for permission to post.

I also think a dark bathroom is a scary place, so I wanted the brooding "Dark Bathrooms" by Los Angeles' Death To Anders, and I got a nice e-mail from Pete, Nick, Rob, and John giving permission--thanks, guys! I'm also including the mp3 provided for download at RCRDLBL. Both are from the band's recent second full-length album, Fictitious Business.
