I'm making another compilation: somewhere between drunken and creepy

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Tracks I have so far:

Tom Waits - That Feel, Poor Edward, Lucky Day, Rainbirds
Slim Whitman - I Remember You
Johnny Cash - We'll Meet Again
Nick Cave - Jangling Jack
Bob Drake - They Live In The Well
Calexico - Untitled III
Elvis Presley - Burning Love
Beach Boys - Never Learn Not to Love, You're So Good To Me, Wind Chimes

Not sure where this one is going. I'm scared it might centre too much on Waits who is an obvious choice for drunkenness and creepiness. I'm thinking of maybe putting some ODB on there but it might be too cheeky and ruin the mood.

Can anyone recommend more music that sounds pissed or dark or both?

Pretty much anything off of the Compulsive Gamblers comp on Sympathy

Just thought Screamin Jay Hawkins and Howlin Wolf will have to make appearances.

Try "Good and Evil" by Grand Funk. It's not their typical stuff. It is from All The Girls In The World Beware, 1974 or therabouts and quite creepy. Good luck finding it, though...

You need some Tindersticks on there, stat. Pick any song from their first three albums.

90 day men, the paper chase, xiu xiu

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 26 February 2004 03:08 (twenty-two years ago)

i'd go for 'tonight's the night' by neil young tho pocorn's suggestion is good too
instead of 'burning love' put on elvis' 'i'm leavin' which is genuinely spine-tingly, drunk and regretful
