Neko Case: Satan's Cabana Girl and Personal Crooner?
Amazing what one dildoramus can come up with when he seizes upon one Neko Case lyric and goes to town. If nothing else, here's hoping this'll help sell boatloads of Fox Confessor Brings The Flood, which is bloody brilliant, unlike the backwards-masking, synthesizer sound this dude is going for on his website. Geez, talk about the kind of thing you'd expect to hear at a Black Mass...
No, You Can't Watch's Slaytanic Majesty's Requests:
Butthole Surfers - Sweat Loaf. Whenever David J. Stewart's Armageddon comes, this song will be the first one cued up on my playlist. Actually, Locust Abortion Technician in its entirety wouldn't be a bad choice for the soundtrack to the end of our world as we know it - 34 minutes worth of moaning, apocalyptic ear-popping beauty and corner-crouching madness - perfect for when the fires are raging around us and the Left Behind crowd finds themselves still obsessing over gay marriage as they're beamed up into the vapors.
The Jazz Butcher - The Devil Is My Friend. You know it's the 80's when you hear 'em name-drop Brezhnev, Andropov, Gorbachev, and Love & Rockets - but this one'll make ya titter and stamp your feet, and wanna bellow your most unholy yee-haws at the moon. Come to think of it, The Devil actually did buy me a 151 proof rum and Coke once, knowing full well that I was underage.
Terry Gibbs - Somebody's Knockin'. The Devil has blue eyes and blue jeans. This song told me so. Whatever happened to Terry Gibbs after this single, anyway? She just kind of dropped off the face of the planet. Ironically enough, I once saw a picture of her and thought it was Ronnie Milsap. I'm not kidding.
R.E.M. - Burning Hell. Before you go knocking R.E.M., check out Dead Letter Office, their collection of outtakes and covers and whatnots. Lots of Velvets covers, and Roger Miller's King of The Road, and the Chronic Town EP as abonus. The slightly countrified Velvets covers will make you wanna sell your soul for Nico.
Johnny Paycheck - The Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised. Lord knows she tried to turn him on to Jesus, but he turned on to the devil's ways and never looked back.
Van Halen - Runnin' With The Devil. Obligatory. Gotta throw that one in there, kind of like you do with Bobby 'Boris' Pickett's Monster Mash every Halloween.
Beck - Satan Gave Me A Taco. It's hateful not being able to afford tickets for his show with Jamie Liddell at the Nokia tomorrow night, and it's not like this would be in his repertoire anyway, but still, one never knows. Our golden boy's always full of surprises...
Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down To Georgia. Only the son-of-a-bitch version will do. None of that pussified son-of-a-gun business, thank you very much. And I won't eat at the goddamned Cracker Barrel, either.
The Kendalls - Heaven's Just A Sin Away. You know it is, and can't wait to get there.
Buzzcocks - Just Lust. One of the seven deadly sins, and a consistent favorite among many. And take it from me, the version on Chronology is satanically sexy.
Other honorable mentions: Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound by Hank Jr., The Devil's Chasing Me by Reverend Horton Heat, Den of Sins by John Zorn, You Must Be Certain of The Devil by Diamanda Galas, and Satan Is Real by The Louvin Brothers. I know there are others out there besides Motley Crue's Shout At The Devil and Cliff Richard's Devil Woman, so don't bogart the devil tunes. Send 'em on!

In the immortal words of Milli Vanilli, "Girl, you know it's true!"
Now here's hoping I haven't jinxed us with that...
