I think know a lot of death songs, but the only one that comes to my mind now is The Twilight Singers' Martin Eden.
If you want it, I'll send it to buffistarawk.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I always have room for more death songs! I just finished this project, though. If people want, I can put it up.

So here's the listing - it more or less follows the arc of the show (which is why "Soulshine" is on there). "Dead!" should actually be the second song, but it's too good of an opener. Thanks for everyone's help!!

Sisters Of Mercy - Leonard Cohen
Shiny Things - Tom Waits
Crows (from The Vile Village) - The Gothic Archies
Walking With a Ghost - Tegan and Sara

I just occurred to me, but what about Don't Fear the Reaper?

Oh yeah, and there's a cool version by The Beautiful South (I think) already up at Buffistarawk.

We're going to see Kanye West tomorrow night!!! I'm excited even though it's a huge stadium show. I honestly can't remember the last time I attended one of those. We're seeing The Roots and Erykah Badu next Thursday, and GZA from the Wu-Tang Clan sometime in June. It's a hip hop extravaganza up in here!

Interesting. I also can send the original if needed.

Heh. I have 3 copies of the original, I think? Thanks, though!

Moody Blues can still rock out, man.
(Although I'll admit that, looking at the crowd, my first thought was one of Willow's in "Band Candy": "This is dangerous....they could have heart attacks!")
Greatest non-band-related moment in the lull before the encore, there were literally 2-3 lighters; and a SEA of cellphones, opended with their faces toward stage. Really kicked ass. Although not as much as as the Moody Blues did.

I saw them 20+ years ago and they were...not that good. Granted, the fact that the opening act was Stevie Ray Vaughn might have had something to do with it. I think I was in the minority in even knowing who he was, but that was only because of his work on Bowie's Let's Dance album. He totally stole the show though. It was my second concert, and the first time I realized what just 3 musicians could do.
