2008 releases
Song of the Day — Ashbury Heights: “Spiders”
Weekly Focus: Oomph!, Pt. II, Day Three
Oomph! — “In deinen Hüften,” from the album Monster (2008).
Album of the Week: My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade Is Dead!
With MCR playing a reunion show in December, I thought it appropriate that one of their live albums be my Album of the Week. I chose The Black Parade Is Dead! for a couple of reasons, including the fact that I love The Black Parade anyway, and also that I saw them on that tour!
Playlist Challenge, Day 795
Oomph! — “Labyrinth”
Weekly Focus: Songs About Halloween, Day One
Marilyn Manson — “This is Halloween,” from the album/soundtrack Nightmare Revisited (2008).
How could I not start the week off with this classic? I chose Manson’s version, as it’s my favorite, but here are two alternates you might enjoy!
Panic! at the Disco
Broken Peach
Album of the Week: Nightmare Revisited
It’s the week of Halloween! This is the perfect time to bring your attention to 2008’s Nightmare Revisited, a collection of Danny Elfman songs — composed for the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas — reimagined by contemporary artists such as Marilyn Manson, Flyleaf, and Korn.
Weekly Focus: Britney Spears, Day Six
Britney Spears — “Lace and Leather,” from the album Circus (2008).
