Vampire Weekend (not the band)

Tonight in my series of Halloween inspired playlists, it's all about those bloodsucking mofos, the vampires. A blood-curdling set of vampy songs that doesn't suck, but it's got a lot of bite, and insert other bad vampiric puns here. No songs from the Twilight soundtracks, just Pink Mountaintops, Helium, Jonathan Richman, Voltaire, Flying Lizards, Rocket from the Crypt, Wesley Willis, Bauhaus, Slint, Planet Smashers, Dr. Dog, Pet Shop Boys, Roky Erickson, Birthday Party and more 7-9pm at the Velvet.
