Weekly Focus: Marilyn Manson, Day One

I’ve been a fan of Manson for a long time and Mechanical Animals is undoubtedly my favorite of his albums. This song… ❤

Marilyn Manson — “The Dope Show,” from the album Mechanical Animals (1998).

Weekly Focus: Murderdolls, Day Three

My best friend and I used to watch this video on repeat. Lol.

Murderdolls — “White Wedding,” from the album Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls: Special Edition (2002). 

Weekly Focus: Murderdolls, Day One

I loved this band so much. I don’t know why exactly…maybe because they were really fun and had horror-themed music ❤

Murderdolls — “Dead in Hollywood,” from the album Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls (2002).

Stranded on an Island (Music Edition)

So we’ve all seen the hypothetical “if you were on an island and could only bring five things, what would they be?” Well, this is the music version. What ten albums would you have to have with you? Obviously, this is my list and it is in no particular order.

Pink Floyd: The Wall

Almost everyone’s essential Pink Floyd, and why wouldn’t it be? I also love the movie.

Tom Petty: Wildflowers

I was such a Tom Petty fangirl when I was little. This is my favorite, closely followed by Full Moon Fever.

Avenged Sevenfold: Nightmare

It used to be City of Evil, but I like the diversity from track to track on Nightmare.

Disturbed: Down With the Sickness

Though I’d hate not having their version of “Sound of Silence.”

The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

Gotta have something by the Fan Four and my mom used to sing me “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.”
