A little while ago, I downloaded this track from the Curb Crawlers and listened to it over and over again. Its dark and disturbing and creepy, kind of like H.R. Giger artwork.
Kevin Saunderson - Just Want Another Chance (John Tjeda Remix)
Check out The Curb Crawlers blog and join their Facebook group. They throw some pretty good parties. Once I showed up at the end of one and picked up a chick.

Solid beats and rhymes from NASA and CERN respectively. Nerdcore represent, wha wha!
Did you learn something new?
“It goes by many names: “The Crisis,” “The Dark Years,” “The Walking Plague,” as well as newer and more “hip” titles such as “World War Z” or “Z War One.” I personally dislike this last moniker as it implies an inevitable “Z War Two.” For me, it will always be “The Zombie War,” and while many may protest the scientific inaccuracy of the word zombie, they will be hard-pressed to discover a more globally accepted term for the creatures that almost caused our extinction. Zombie remains a devestating word, unrivaled in its power to conjure up so many memories or emotions, and it is these memories, and emotions, that are the subject of this book.”
So begins World War Z by Max Brooks, the best book I’ve read all year and probably the best book about zombies ever written.
Inspired, I’ve put collected a couple of zombie-related tracks to celebrate humanity’s victory over the undead hordes.
“When Zombies Attack” - NC-MCs feat. Sizzle Stixx
“Zombies Ate My Neighbours” - Chozo_Ninpo and MC Inadequate

I’m pretty sure that L’ Empire du Côté Obscur is what the French call the dark side, as in the Dark Side of the Force.
And a track with the same name by french rappers IAM is probably the best french song about Star Wars that you’ll ever hear.
