Vampires and vampire music and vampire cats, oh my!

Hi, everyone, and thanks for inviting me to visit you here on the island today! *waves wildly*

Sadly, I haven't been able to figure out who to bring with me to the island without poaching on y'all. So I guess I'll just be sitting down here on the beach, watching the waves, enjoying the fact that I'm not in cold and rainy Minneapolis right now, and listening to music.

What I am I listening to? I'm listening to Vampire Life, which is a mix I put together for day(or night)dreaming about hunky vampires. Sure, I'll share it with you... if you'll think about sharing some of those hunky heroes y'all are hoarding... ;)

Please note that some of these songs are a bit obscure. I've tried to link to youtube videos and a preview/purchase link for each song, but, alas, that wasn't always possible.

Welcome to the island, Chris. You may NOT share my men.
*ahem*

Unless you want Vic. He's more trouble than he's worth, especially since *that incident* outside Kris' cabana.

What a lot of Vampire themed songs, who'd have thought there'd be so many.; October 26, 2009 at 4:18 AM
Chris said...: Um, thanks? ;)

Gee, only one incident involving Vic? Seems like things are going pretty well.

Scarily, there are many, many more vampire themed songs.; October 26, 2009 at 4:54 AM
Lea said...: Chris!!!

Welcome to the island... *waving madly*

I'm of a mind to jet off and spend a couple of days with you.. ;) Of course you can share any of my menz you might like too.

I love the eclectic music mix - perfectly in keeping with the season. ;)

Enjoy your visit!; October 26, 2009 at 5:03 AM
lbgregg said...: Holy Smokes! Who changed the blog?

Hi Chris--sadly I cannot share my men. I am extending an invitation for frozen beverages from Jake and Adrien, Nate, Colin, Derek, Savitri, and, er, Robin Hood. I think I have another hero? OMG. That's bad housekeeping! I think I lost one!

Welcome.

Chris said...: Hi Lea! Hope you can make it!

Hmm. There's a niche for me, LB, lurking about and snagging lost stray menz...; October 26, 2009 at 6:43 AM

I see we've had a renovation since Johnny and I were kick off...er escorted off the island after the fire incident. *grin*

:o)

Cecile Smutty Hussy said...: I have this cd and it rocks!!!
Oh.. and you know my fave vampirecat is the one you have pictures.. He is just so fangsome!
Humm... share my men... but I do share... You should know that I love to share... Expect Caleb *8wink wink**!; October 26, 2009 at 8:42 AM
Tracy said...: Hey Chris! Thanks for stepping in!

I love all the songs. I'll have to listen to all of them when I get home tonight.

Cute cat!; October 26, 2009 at 10:53 AM
Carolyn Crane said...: Okay first, this is a super cool playlist and it makes a ROCKING CD!! I am frankly shocked how many vampire songs there are, too.

Well, as for sharing menz, you could always make a list of what men you would want...if only they were available.

Or, maybe somebody would want to trade for a day - they could have Chaos. (But not in a creepy way--in a fun, kitty way); October 26, 2009 at 11:11 AM
Chris said...: Aw, how generous, Cecile. :D

*waves at MsMoonlight and Tracy*

Thanks, CJ! Um, I actually have a second completed vampire mix/playlist, with a third nearly done (I have plenty of songs - I'm at the just trying to pick the ones that fit best). And then there's the werewolf mix...; October 26, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Tracy said...: *raises eyebrows* there's a werewolf mix? Now we're talkin!; October 26, 2009 at 4:20 PM
Mary G said...: Hi Chris
Enjoy your visit.; October 26, 2009 at 4:27 PM
Chris said...: Tracy - I suppose I could come back to the island for the werewolf mix, hmm? ;)

And just wait until I get that manlove mix figured out...; October 26, 2009 at 4:27 PM
Marta said...: Hi, Chris, I just mentioned your fab playlist on my Vampire Wire blog. I love this mix, and I hope you'll share your Werewolf Moon list with readers, too. Love your eclectic selection of songs!; October 29, 2009 at 10:54 AM
