Dear Euphoria - That you would (video)
Dear Euphoria's Elina Johansson tried her hand at amateur video creation using a slightly older tune and I think the results are pretty darn respectable for a DIY first-timer. The song, of course, is superb, so that alone warrants posting.

MP3: The Robots - Night of the living dead
It's Halloween weekend and I've been listening to The Misfits all day long, so I figure I should probably share and share alike, especially seeing as how they are perfect band for the occasion. Problem is, the only cover tunes I have handy come from the dismal "Hell on Earth - Hail to Misfits" compilation which is 98% garbage. I suppose that Entombed's take on "Hollywood Babylon" is solid, but that's not exactly seasonably appropriate so we gotta go with the next best thing which is "Night of the living dead" as performed by The Robots. Competent, yet unexceptional, but that's all I got, so yeah -- happy holidays I guess. Deal with it.
