For a few years now, me and Missus Savage have put together a vampire mix CD (or two)  for select friends and partygoers in October. We had a solid well from which to draw going into it, and cultural phenomena like True Blood and Twilight certainly helped augment the musical pool from which to draw.

But man, 2010 has been a banner year for kick-ass vampire music. Besides at least 10 different versions of Cry Little Sister from The Lost Boys, the True Blood: Seasons 1 and 2 soundtracks and The 69 Eyes – Back In Blood album, I’ve been finding all kinds of awesome songs in my own collection that I’d either simply overlooked (Genitorturers’  – Vampire Lover and Lords of Acid – Kiss Eternal) or that I’d never considered as vampiric, but have reconsidered (Nine Inch Nails – The Hand That Feeds, for instance).

But I gotta say, since Cry Little Sister became a Vampire Anthem in 1987, I don’t think any single song has encapsulated everything that is awesome about vampires (and make no mistake: Vampires are AWESOME) like The Burning Brides’ Flesh & Bone. Watch the video below and be impressed that they crammed everything that is AWESOME about the movie SUCK, Burning Brides, the song Flesh & Bone, vampires and vampire movies into less than 4 minutes*.

*The lead singer for The Burning Brides wrote the song and performs it in this video. Notice how the vampires in this video look awesome? That’s because VAMPIRES ARE AWESOME.
