Comment:

So anyways...story as old as time: Devil/bad guy/murderer comes to town and through his charming ways tricks/seduces girl which leads to her eventual demise/destruction /death. You know the one...bet it even happened to a friend of a friend of a friend. Basically in the beginning we're introduced to the culprit; we are then lead to the trap; and finally to the ultimate corruption in Hell. Don't worry. I believe in equality...guys your turn will come next when girl is let loose into the world. I was originally making another mix when I realized a bunch of the songs I had in mind had a somewhat morbid theme. Seduction cycle reared its ugly head and here it is.

I love it! Despite my name I have a dark side and that side is in love with this mix. The mix has a great flow and the last song fits perfectly...

Yeah, I love Tom Waits in general...it was actually hard trying to figure out which song of his I was going to pick from a by no means meager list. Same with Leonard and Nick: all of them have such genius for the macabre and dark.
