I just finished a chapter, so here's #1 on the playlist. "Mother" by Danzig.
I felt this one fit the theme for several reasons:
1. This song will never not fit anywhere. It is brilliant.
2. The fact that the video is shot in black and white is a nice touch. The use of light and shadow is nice too; it gives the whole thing a dreamy, surreal feel. If Michelle Remembers had been written by a good writer (and preferably labeled and marketed as the fiction it is, rather than disguised as non-fiction) I think this is roughly what the movie adaptation would look like.
3. The video features the sacrifice of a chicken. Which seems to have little to do with the actual song, but still makes a thousand times more sense than any of the Satanic rituals in Michelle Remembers.
Well, I've had my fun. *sigh* Back to the Satanic-Panic-generating bullshit mines with me.
