Dark Meat 277: Faces Of Horror

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Daniel K

This episode is loosely inspired by my visit last weekend to a monster movie convention in Burbank, where I was surrounded by zombies and demons and scream queens and blood, oh so much blood. Just because half the songs have nothing to do with this environment doesn’t mean they aren’t horrifying somehow.

* Phil Reed/Frank Picher – The Glow Worm
* Scars – Horror Show
* Jonathan Coulton (and The Elegant Too) – Want You Gone
* 10cc – I Wanna Rule The World
* VA – Satellite Of Love
* The Free Design – Kites Are Fun
* The Four Brothers – Revolution
* Rupert Holmes – Studio Musician
* Grant Lee Buffalo – We’ve Only Just Begun

Dark Meat 276: The Now Generation

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Daniel K

A walking tour through the swingin’ sixties! Or a swingin’ tour. Come to think of it, most of us are pretty tired to be walkin’ or swingin’; I think I’ll take the tram.

* Paul McCartney – My Valentine
* Harry Nilsson – She’s Leaving Home
* Love – My Little Red Book
* David G. Moore – The Look Of Love
* Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention – Hungry Freaks, Daddy
* Fat Mattress – The Magic Forest

* Tomorrow – My White Bicycle

Note: to be fair to the people I stole my graphic from, I’ll point out you can buy this lamp here.

Dark Meat 274: Warning – Harps!

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Daniel K

This time the show starts out pretty hard-rockin’ then gradually set into a rainy Sunday afternoon vibe. If it rains this weekend, you know what to do.

By the way, if you like the show, hit resend or share of what have you. I’m trying to build a little internet fame here. Oh, and patronize our sponsors. And patronize me as well – tell me I’m doing a good job.

* Band of Skulls – Sweet Sour
* Talking Heads – Warning Sign

Dark Meat 273: Paint, Slime ‘n’ Regret

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Daniel K

Little to say about this week’s show, but I managed to dig up a song from Jim Steinman’s solo album and be on the cutting edge with a Regina Spektor single that isn’t even ON an album. And if that’s not loving you, then all I got to say is… well, I’m speechless.

* 10cc – Art For Art’s Sake
* Regina Spektor – All The Rowboats
* Jim Steinman – Bad For Good
* The String Quartet – All Apologies
* The Tubes – Prime Time
* Frank Zappa – I’m The Slime

Dark Meat 272: Two-Seventy Two

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Daniel K

I did it! A show where the songs have nothing to do with each other, aside from being in my collection of songs! This one also has the virtue of being Eno-Free. Enough already with the Eno! Until next week.

* Fat Mattress – Petrol Pump Assistant
* Inara George (with Van Dyke Parks) – Idaho
* Pink Floyd – Run Like Hell
* Suzanne Vega – Fat Man and Dancing Girl
