Did you like "Goodnight, Demon Slayer"?

I didn't get that far -- the CD is in my car, and I'm listening to the whole thing in order. I'll listen to it when I go to the gym in a bit.

Love love LOVE the Voltaire "Brains!" song. It ought to be the Buffista Fight Song.

But I get kind of a rockabilly flavor from it -- not a flavor; more like a fudge swirl through vanilla bean ice cream -- is that crazy? Are goth and rockabilly incompatible? Or, is that crazy because I'm hearing something that isn't there?

I think you'd really like all of Voltaire's cds. I'll try and remember to copy 'em for you in the next few days.

Hey, Jilli -- read my edit, por favor....

Goth and rockabilly aren't incompatible at all; there's a lot of cross-over, and I've been looking for some good gothabilly comps. I think there is a bit of a rockabilly sound to "Brains", but that isn't a defining characteristic of Voltaire's music.

Oh! for the Star Trek fans here, you should know that Voltaire did an ep called Banned On Vulcan. He's a huge Star Trek geek, and cheerfully wrote an entire cd of filk. My friends who are ST fans assure me it's very, very funny; since I don't really like ST, I listen to the songs with a politely confused expression on my face.

My sister got Ray Pruitt (of 90120) into the Encyclopedia Fakebandica!

Sniff! I'm so proud.

What Jilli said - there's a lot of cool gothy rockabilly (often called Psychobilly, influenced heavily by The Cramps).

But even original rockabilly had stuff with a dark, ominous vibe, most famously Jody Reynold's "Fire of Love."

I did a whole tape of stuff like that titled The Ghost of Eddie Cochran.

Jilli!!!! I *love* "Goodnight, Demon Slayer"!!!!!

He wrote it for his son. It's a wonderful song, and I memorized all the words so I can sing it at my godson the next time he's around.

I also need to send a copy of it to Hec and Deena, so they can play it for their munchkins.

I think I need to play it every night before I go to bed, as I've taken to sleeping with the light on lately, due to an unspecified feeling of dread, and recurring dreams about people breaking into my apartment.

Then you most certainly should play it every night before bedtime. Seriously. I think it would be perfect.
