Heavy Rotation: Your Ultimate Satanic Mixtape
Os Mutantes, "Ave Lucifer"
I always love Satan, but I especially love Satan when he is referred to as "Lucifer." Lucifer is the most beautiful name. If I ever have a son, I will name him Jude, and if I have another son, I will name him Kid, but if I have a third son, I will name him Lucifer. Wait- BRAINWAVE! I'll name my daughter Lucifer! I can call her "Lucy" for short; how hellishly adorable! (LJ)
The Beach Boys, "Little Bird"
This song has such a sick, sexy groove to it. It makes me wanna shoulder-roll. It's groovy. "Little Bird" by the Beach Boys makes me realize that, if you are in the Satanic frame of mind, every song has the potential to be a devil-worshipping anthem. "Little Bird" is my love song to the devil. The devil is a hot, spicy pervert, and I want to junior high-style slow dance to this song with him at our wedding. This Denny Wilson Beach Boys song is dedicated to Elizabeth Barker of nogoodforme.com, who recently asked the Universe if surfing will turn her into a Satanist. All I can say is: I sure hope so!
PS: Exactly 50 seconds into "Little Bird," Dennis Wilson's voice does a scratchy cracky thing that is as hot as ten Satans put together. It makes me want to go on a Surfin' Safari heading straight to Hell (with Dennis Wilson). (LJ)
Dennis Wilson, "Schoolgirl"
Is "Schoolgirl" the creepiest song in the world, or the sweetest? Is it skeezier than when Mick Jagger sings about doing it with 15-year-olds, or not skeezy at all? Isn't it weird that, real soon after I posted that "Surfing with Satan" post the other day, some publicist emailed me about this unreleased Dennis Wilson song? Or is that the most not-weird thing you've ever heard in your life? Why did it take me so long to ever listen to "Schoolgirl," when apparently I downloaded it from Buddyhead 363 days ago? Does "363" sound sorta like a satanic number, or is that just me? What happens when you call that phone number that Spencer Pratt keeps posting on Twitter? And what's for lunch??? (Liz)
Mika Miko, "Turkey Sandwich"
You know what I wish was for lunch? A TURKEY SANDWICH. Way interestingly, Dennis Wilson's last meal was a turkey sandwich, according to the amazing website FindaDeath.com. Even more interestingly, Liz Barker always want to eat turkey sandwiches after surfing (preferably with avocado, from Subway). Also, this song is from Mika Miko's brand-new record, which has the best cover I've seen in 666 years. (Liz)
The Gift, "Drugs"
If you're going to name your song "Drugs," it damn well better be awesome. Luckily, this song simply rocks in the purest sense of the word. It's a topsy-turvy, crazy-floppy gem lost to the winds of time, happily resurrected on the Diggers' Delight compilation, featuring other trippy international psych-rock gems from the early 1970s. (If you think psych is crazy, wait till you hear the Argentinians do it.) I guess the Gift are German, which may explain the deliberate yet nutso nature of this song. Listen to it -- it will kind of make your day. (Kat)
Yonlu, "I Know What It's Like"
I'm so obsessed with Yonlu's record, I blipped this on my Twitter a few days ago. (God, what kind of 21st century sentence was that?) But I'm doing it here because the record is kind of perfect for that springtime sweet spot, plus I'm drinking a lychee bubble tea drink and listening to his record and it really is perfect. Yonlu was truly like a Brazilian Elliott Smith, only with more experimental tendencies; others like to say Nick Drake meets Caetano Veloso. He was a melancholy dude who committed suicide recently at the age of 16, which is super-sad because it's clear that he was just beginning to find his way as a musician out of those comparisons. He left behind some beautiful songs, though: check out his record, A Society In Which No Tear is Shed is Inconceivably Mediocre. (Kat)

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."

i kinda want to make it clear that i don't think Yonlu is satanic or anything; i just thought it was a nice song and fit in with the Beach Boys-y stuff. i was gonna put a Danzig song on here, but man, that's so obvious, even for the likes of super-obvs me.
