New Wave Outpost Forum

And every year i make a bunch of mixes for it. My goal here is to find the creepiest and darkest NW tunes. Me and a friend actually compete to make the better compilation.

So, any of the experts have some killer suggestions here? [:D]

This has been done countless times before. Search for it somewhere on this board and you'll find some loooooooong lists!

Never a bad idea to ask for suggestions. Different ideas, new members, etc.

Count on me to make suggestions soon.

...and welcome to the board, tomman888!

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

My apologies, I did not know that you were a new member here (10 posts already?!), so yeah it's a good thing to ask cause trust me about a week from now this thread will probably have around 50 replies minimum, guaranteed.

For starters, go with Siouxsie's "Halloween" or Ministry's "Every Day Is Halloween" (perhaps THE new wave halloween anthem)

Hey, I'm still a newbie i realize haha. I can't use those tracks because they were on last year's mix unfortunately. here's my list so far:

Fad gadet-rickys hand
shriekback-nemesis
Blue oyster cult-joan crawford
concrete blonde-bloodletting
cabaret voltaire-i want you
front 242-television station
depeche mode-told you so
wall of voodoo-red light

^^^ Good list, but Told You So sticks out like a sore thumb as it's more of an upbeat, happy-go-lucky tune, what with all the cheesy synths...

Bauhaus - Stigmata Martyr

A Certain Ratio - All Night Party
Editors - Lullaby (Cure cover)
Joy Division - Dead Souls
Opera de Nuit - Ami Amant
The Pop Group - She Is Beyond Good and Evil
Portishead - Cowboys

Here's some suggestions:
Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead
The Specials - Ghost Town
The Ramones - Pet Semetary
Echo and The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
Xmal Deutschland – Incubus Succubus
The Dickies – Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Dead Kennedys – Halloween
Siouxsie and The Banshees – Spellbound
Japan- Ghosts
Screaming Tribesman - Date With A Vampyre Girl
The Cramps – Goo Goo Muck
Oingo Boingo – Dead Man’s Party
Toto Coelo - I Eat Cannibals

And so many by The Misfits, Roky Erickson and The Meteors. Take your pick.

Vision UK - Lucifer's Friend

Classix Nouveaux - The Protector Of Night

Assuming no more posts here today...

10 x 7 = 70 replies by the end of the week

My prediction quickly coming true! [:D] (and there will almost certainly be more posts here before we call it a day)

Like I told you, for some reason people here love lists! [:o)]

Yello - Haunted House
Violent Femmes - Country Death Song
Love & Rockets - Haunted
Psychedelic Furs - Ghost In You

Life's what you make it.

At the risk of getting flammed:
Toyah - Creepy Room

Less flame worthy...
Blondie - Attack of the Giant Ants, Bermuda Triangle Blues
Adverts - Gary Gilmour's Eyes
Gary Numan - I Die, You Die
Lene Lovich - You Can't kill Me, Bird Song
