I have decreed that we shall put together a playlist of songs that are either explicitly about \*\*zombies \*\*or could be reasonably construed to refer to such. Here is what I have so far: The Magnetic Fields, “Zombie Boy” Metric, “Help, I’m Alive” The Mountain Goats, “Southwood Plantation Road” The Red Light Sting, “Dirt Eating Zombies” Sufjan Stevens, “They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!” List your zombie songs! ---

Damn you, those were at the top of my list. If you want to stretch a point, Voltaire has a song called Brains!, but it’s about a brain-eating space monster, not zombies. It turns its victims into zombies, though…? 😛 ---

Brand New Cold Wave Goth… Diamond Rings- [Wait and See](http://radio3.cbc.ca/#/bands/Diamond-Rings) “Hangin’ out half past midnight with the Freaks and **Ghouls**.” Reminds me of early Cult, just after the Death Cult Schism. Brings me back to [Little Face](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCkguAOc-0w), but with a One Man Band sampler and not much vocal range. ---

And before anybody protests. I love the song and find myself listening to it, over and over, but it’s the sonic parallel of a zombie thread around here, to this OG. It’s like a ressurrection of a long dead tune… I’m not sure if I want to kill it or let it eat my brain. ---
