12 of 30 - Youtubery II

[aggienaut]

   Recently I discovered there are playlists on youtube. Consequently I've been listening to other people's playlists all weekend and discovering much awesome new (to me) music.

   Here are some of my discoveries:

The Quakes - I Miss You
Nekromantix - Subculture Girl
Motormark - Note to Self

Deadbolt - One Day I Will Kill You
Deadbolt - Last Time I Saw Cole
Deadbolt - Truck Driving SOB
Deadbolt - Voodoo Trucker
Deadbolt - Mrs Valdez
(Basically I think it's safe to say I like Deadbolt in general)

The Creepshow - The Garden
The Creepshow - Halloween
The Creepshow - You'll Come Crawling

Eddie Meduza - Rockabilly Rebel

Client - Here and Now (rather different from the rest I've linked here I think)

Hotrod Frankie - Arising From My Grave
Hotrod Frankie - Parts From Which I'm Made
and my favourite:

(Hotrod Frankie - Alone in the Woods)

Which is of course about frankenstein (which Stacey tells me is actually a very good book, and I'm thinking of reading it next chance I get).


   I'm not very good at finding songs (in downloadable mp3 form) on the computer-internets. Thus far I have only succeeded in getting the Hotrod Frankie album none of these songs is on and all of Deadbolt. As such if anyone already has or is super good at getting any of the other songs and/or the Hotrod Frankie album "My Father Was A Madman" I would greatly greatly appreciate it (:

Frankenstein And Tim Powers

Is a very good book until you consider that it was written by an 18 year old girl. Then it becomes a totally amazing book. It has been called the first science fiction novel.

It was written in a writing contest. The other participants were Charles Gordon Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Shelley's physician, I forget his name. Anyway, Mary Shelley's book was far and away the best entry, I don't remember right now what Shelley's and Byron's offerings were, and the doctor wrote one of the earliest vampire novels.

Tim Powers, who I have mentioned before, uses all of this history in his very fine horror/SF/historical novel 'The Stress Of Her Regard'. I can't recommend Powers highly enough. Also, you might be interested to know that he is what can be called a Southern California, even an Orange County writer. Some of his best novels are set in contemporary California (though not TSoHR).

Polidori. The doctor's name was Polidori.

You should load up last fm, it will introduce you to so many good new bands based on what you like. :)

I was sleeping when you texted me last night, I'm sorry!

Yup, last.fm is a pretty good resource.

I recommend looking at what I listen to, and grabbing all of that and everything related.

The Creepshow are awesome. I saw them here in Dallas a few months ago (I think), and they were great. Excellent energy, and the lead singer is hot. Bought one of their albums, wish I'd bought everything they had.
