Songs for Your Unfortunate Demise

First off, Dudes and Dudettes, please don't read too much into this. This mix is grim, morbid, and a little twisted. However, do not fear, I have my reasons.

I recently discovered Nick Cave's fantastic album "Murder Ballads", and was, quite simply, inspired. This is also the reason two Nick Cave songs bookend this list. As well as the whole Nick Cave thing, this mix fits in quite nicely with that whole upcoming Halloween/Day of the Dead event that is sure to have you scrambling to your nearest used clothing store for clothing you can bloody and tear up for your frightening "slutty zombie", "slutty corpse" or "slutty crime scene investigator" costume.

Once again, let me ensure you that I am not obsessed with death, nor do i think about it any more than a regular person should. With that being said, enjoy pondering your eventual demise, my friends.
