Bloody Good Listening : A True Blood Playlist



Well it's that time again..... time for sex, blood, violence, and more sex! The crazy Bon Temp folk are at it again and this time I have a play list set for it. Here are ten songs I feel will represent Season 6 the best. (True Blood airs on HBO on Sunday, June 16).

1. Sacrilege- Yeah Yeah Yeahs
 This song is perfect for season six! With its lyrics that fit the season all too well and the catchy chorus in the back singing as loud as they can, this song is a sure fit for the season with the villain being a vampire god! It's heresy to not listen to this song while praising the almighty Billith!

2. Not in Love- Crystal Castles
This is my all time favorite song for Eric and Sookie. Soric shippers alike can appreciate the lyrics to this song while screaming at the TV for these two to just makeup already and get down to business!

3. Bottom of the River- Delta Rae
As some may know this was the official song put into the True Blood season 6 trailer. Give it a listen, their is a reason it was put in True Blood!

4. Hanging On- Active Child
A perfect song for any of the couples on True Blood. Discussing how hard it is in a relationship and trying to make it work even though they know they shouldn't, or can't.

5. The Lightening Strike- Snow Patrol
Another perfect fit for season six! It feels perfect as a score for an upcoming battle and as all Trubies know....the battle is coming.

6. Alive with the Glory of Love- Say Anything
The song has a strong sexual vibe about it, making it just right for the people at Bon Temp!

7. The Funeral- Ban of Horses
As some die hard Trubies may know, a big death is about to happen. So to prepare myself I listen to this song...and hope everything will be alright.

8. I Wish I was the Moon Tonight- Neko Case
I always have to put this on my True Blood Playlist, all thanks to Eric and Sookie. (This was the song they first made love too).

9. Mr.Brightside- The Killers
One of my top Eric songs! Filled with angst and jealousy over someones love being with another man....sounds like Eric to me!

10. Seven Devils- Florence + The Machine
Another battle song and we all know Season 6 is all about war....war with humans or war with vampire gods... either way this season won't end without a couple devils dying on the battle field.

Take a listen to all of these songs... I of course have much more songs to give, (being a Truebie and all), but I wont bother you all with that. Tune into True Blood this season, because this season will surely be a bloody good time!

Jack Harper, Jack Reacher, Staccee Jaxx, or just plain Jack....

Tom Cruise in Oblivion

Back in the 80's, Tom Cruise was America's action sweetheart. Playing the hero in all of his movies seemed to be his calling, and boy did he live up to that calling. From being in a range of action movies back in the day, each of his movies were full of an excitement that only "The Cruise" could supply...but now and days it seems a little stale. Each of his characters resembles the last in an almost identical way, leaving most, especially me, unsatisfied. In this movie it is no different from his others, even playing ANOTHER character named Jack. This movie, to me, felt like another action movie where Cruise plays the "troubled" hero looking for answers about himself. I've seen Cruise play such great characters, (ie: look at Born the Fourth of July and Magnolia), but this movie left me with an empty feeling, a feeling of when will this movie be over. The movie felt way too long and the writing for it was just not good. The characters developments were not played out in a way where I felt sorry for them or related to them in any way.
