Automobiles.

Let's get real, get right. Everyone suggest songs that are car-themed in some way.

Have fun.

Ok, I am changing the format. Of this blog. From henceforth and until I change my mind again I am going have this space devoted to coming up with awesome playlists based on specific themes. So, every fortnight or so (or whenever the fancy overtakes me) I will throw out a theme and we can run with it.

Today's theme:
Insanity, murder and mayhem

Songs about murder, crime, criminals and general anarchic mischief.

Ready. Set. Go.
