Back when I was learning how to strum catchy, three-chord songs on the geetar my parents swore up and down I would never learn, I thought it’d be cool (see: super passive aggressive) to learn what I know to be the catchiest, most evil song ever committed to tape: “Last Caress” by the Misfits.

Singing about killing babies and raping moms… I dunno, pretty hilarious in a fuck off kind of way. And remembering that lovely family moment got me to thinking about who else might be into weirdly and decidedly not hardcore versions at all of Misfits songs. I then happened upon David Pajo (Slint, Tortoise, Zwan, Dead Child) in a YouTube search, and he’s got a video to go along with his version of “Where Eagles Dare.”

Check it out after the jump.

And THEN, I remembered Pajo’s Halloween mix he created for Imeem that was being passed around the internets last year. Certainly worth sharing again, since it features lots of doom metal and creepy themes like mutant mutilators and being baptized in flames. You know, awesome stuff like that. And he does voice overs, describing why he picked each track. Quite a Halloween treat!
