'Vampires'

[Murphy]

 

[mvuent]

I was livin' in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh lord it really brings me down
About the devil town

And all my friends were vampires
Didn't know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself
In the devil town

I was livin' in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh lord it really brings me down
About the devil town

Me and Theresa Coffee
Went and saw Roky play
He sang Bloody Hammer
And Two Headed Dog

The band was true believers
But the promoters turned the power off
He said: "I've been drinking lots of blood."
The crowd went wild

haven’t listened to him in years, but the last two lines came to mind re: what you were saying on the last page. to me they sort of evoke what lester bangs talks about in his article about jim morrison “bozo dionysus” - this privilege rock stars have to disregard and abuse the people around them thanks to their admirers' superstition that it’s somehow necessary and conducive for their genius.

I watched a biopic of Dylan Thomas a few years ago that had very much this vibe about it.

That Daniel Johntson song is a real gem, but also this one comes to mind:


In Casle Bran, Transylvania
On Saint Swithens day he was born
Eyes stare through the darkness with no form
Necks his bite horns

yeah poets were surely the major precursor in that regard. i guess a lot of the renaissance artists as well. cellini for example apparently just went around killing people and the church was like “he’s a genius, it’s fine”

I want @luka to put this to the test.

Magnify has boarded “The Blood Countess,” a vampire mystery movie starring Isabelle Huppert as Countess Elizabeth Báthory, a 16th-century Hungarian serial killer.

Directed by renowned German New Wave artist and filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger, the movie is inspired by the life and legend of Countess Elizabeth Báthory. The screenplay was penned by Ottinger and Elfriede Jelinek, the Nobel Prize in Literature winner and acclaimed author of “The Piano Teacher.”

There's a borowczyk film about Bathory (or part of one) - she's played by Paloma Picasso



You don't get much of a sense of it there but I guess the bit with a woman covered in blood is the Bathory one.

This is a good hipster vampire film I think

edit: I guess someone decided to put dahmer footage because it was apparently found on his turntable when he was arrested.



La Comtesse de Sang
Your seeds of madness
The colour of eternity
They blossom in torture
In an autumn of fear
In a harvest of pain
In a garden of evil

La Comtesse de Sang
Can you recall
The faces
The bodies
The voices
The blood that flows each dawn
A chemical nightmare
Just look in the mirror
Stain of your image
Burnt into metal

La Comtesse de Sang
They could not destroy you
Only keep you prisoner
And left you to die
And buried your dreams
With the earth of justice
And they could not suppress
The darkness the image the power

La Comtesse de Sang
Your seeds of madness
The colour of eternity
They blossom in torture
In an autumn of fear
In a harvest of pain
In a garden of evil
