zombie prom music requests!

[pixivixen.livejournal.com]

Greetings and BRAAAAAAAINS!

I will be your DJ at the zombie prom this year.
I have been attending con since 1997 and DJing since 2004. However, I have never done an event of this scale before so I'm really excited for the opportunity.
I have been building my set for months, so I already have the essentials and most of everything laid out including thriller and a few songs from selected zombie movie soundtracks. That being said, I will be playing for 2 and a half hours and I really want to make sure I have something for everybody as i put the finishing touches on my set. I probably wont be in any position to take requests at the party, so I thought I would give people a chance to make requests ahead of time. Just to keep things from getting terribly disorganized, I am trying to focus mostly on 80s music, zombie movie soundtracks, and dance music. If you have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments and I will do my best to add a variety of your ideas to the set. I'm really excited about this and I look forward to moving your asses!!!!!

Dark dance music. Some NIN. I have heard a few mash-ups of NIN and really up 80s music. It was great and still dark. Last year there was an 80s music event and while I love that DJ I know it lost momentum after a while. There is so mcuh graet 80s music that gets overlooked. Killing Moon? Numbers With Wings? Send Me An Angel? Not just the up songs please.
I am looking forward to hearing adndancing to your set!

oh honey ive got you covered ;b im trying to focus on more obscure stuff rather than the obvious, although i will definitely have a few well played classics sprinkled in. good suggestion on send me an angel, i will have to add that one!

[muntahz.livejournal.com]

YAY! I collect the more obscure 80s music and love it!
Could you add in Prince's When Doves Cry and I would Die For YOu?
They are requests from a none LJ friend.

i will try to only play 1 song per artist, but your friend will be happy to know that i was already gonna play i would die for you ;b

As an 80s child, I adore Bon Jovi. And there's always the good stuff from 80s movie soundtracks even if they arent technically zombie movies. Like the theme to Ghostbusters :)
And Duran Duran always works.

The first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions zombies and music is this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNwCojCJ3-Q), though I'm not sure how well it would be received by people unfamiliar with the video.

[muntahz.livejournal.com]

It is part of D*Con so no extra charge, It is a new/er event. I can't find when it is as yet, but it will be in the program and easily found.

[pixivixen.livejournal.com]

im told its friday evening at the westin but i have no idea about other details.

[ladytalker13.livejournal.com]

If you limit it to '80's music, you'll miss a few greats like MONSTER MASH that are just so campy, they're cool... LOL

Also, music from Rocky Horror is great!

[pixivixen.livejournal.com]

no, and no. sorry, i just cant bring myself to play anything that i was forced to sing in high school chorus.

Richard Cheese's cover of "Down with the Sickness" was in the Dawn of the Dead remake a few years ago. Not very danceable though.

Ok, first of all, basically the entire catalog of "ZOMBIES! ORGANIZE!! (http://www.zombiesorganize.com/)". Pretty much all of their music is free to download (myspace (http://www.myspace.com/zombiesorganize)).
Especially good tracks include:
Zombie Manifesto
Happy Zombies
F-Bombs and 1Ups
Trioxin

Next up: ZEALOUS1 (you saw him at Nerdapalooza 2008 doing "BOOM, HEADSHOT!"):
Zombie Killa (http://www.inadequizzy.net/hosting/RT/halloween2/disc1/04%20-%20ZeaLouS1%20-%20Zombie%20Killa.mp3), possibly the best zombie song period
Necrophilianomenon
Headshot (feat. Benjamin Bear)

Of course: Schaffer the Darklord:
Buckets of Blood (feat. Kabuto The Python)
Night of the Living Christ
The Tin Man (Maybe, not directly zombie themed)

You need Emergency Pizza Party. They have a whole album that is perfect called "Zombie Emergency Defense" or Z.E.D. The entire album is a zombie narrative with battles in a cabin, robotics factory, and a comic shop. There's even a Zombie Dance Party track at the end that was basically made for zprom. They have another track that is awesome which is not on the album: Zombie Jesus (featuring Funky49).

Looks like you're going to have an amazing setlist! Very excited about the Zombie Prom this year. :D

When and Where?
