| 4 | The Shins : Kissing The Lippless |

(ahem! whoever entered this into the database misspelled 'lipless') I like how this fairly simple and upbeat song greatly underexaggerates the weight of the situation in the context of this mix. SHOW MORE

| 5 | Architecture in Helsinki : The Cemetary |
|
... the same with this song. It's quirky, zany, and a completely different take on all the sucking of the blood. This is the hipster vampire song when they run out of Joy Division.

| 6 | Devotchka : Death By Blonde |
|
I'll admit it: I picked this because I'm blonde. I'ma kill you, bitch! That aside, this is a gorgeous eastern European-sounding track sans vocals. Spinning and twirling violins and cellos evoke Transylvanian banquets. SHOW MORE

| 9 | Smashing Pumpkins : We Only Come Out at Night |

This coming from the album that touted "the world is a vampire," yet this song is much less angsty and much more silly. "We only come out at night, we only come out at night, the days are much too bright, we only come out at night." SHOW MORE
