5 on Friday - Set 87
Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.
My Resistance is Futile Blog Tour of the Universe has begun its pre-show amble down the red carpet. The release of Saint Sanguinus is mere weeks away, and A Piece of My Mind will take on a decidedly vampiric flavor during October.
Settle back and enjoy these five songs whose narrators likely sport a set of awfully sharp teeth.
To vote in my Vampire Smackdown, please scroll down to Thursday's post.
1 - Blood and Roses - The Smithereens
2 - Red Rain - Peter Gabriel
3 - Temptation Waits - Garbage
4 - Creep - Radiohead
