Vampire I’d like to see on True Blood (via @mswriteok)
There is one Anne Rice vampire, who, in her book held little interest for me, but when I saw him in the “Interview With the Vampire” movie, I was spellbound.
It was the first time I saw Antonio Banderas. I was thunderstruck. He was amazing. Long, flowing black hair, a delicious accent and his total toothiness, his sexiness oozed off the screen and into my bloodstream, never to leave. Yes, Bill and Eric are mighty fine, but good heavens, if Armand the vampire came to me, he could have his wicked way with me all night, every night. Jace Everett can sing “Bad Things” about True Blood vamps, but for me, Armand gets the equally sexy “Wicked Games” by Chris Isaac.
That song is every bit as tortured as “Bad Things” and Chris’ voice is equal to Jace’s. Easily. Now, say Armand shows up as part of the Authority. I could so deal with that. I could be his and leave both Eric and Bill in the dust. No problem. Look at the guy. He’s as old as Eric but for me, he has the tall, dark and handsome thing going. And, he’d be a vampire to be reckoned with. He could easily take care of that pesky varmint Russell Edgington and be done with it, take over that nice house in Mississippi and I could movie right in with him. Then, I’d invite Miss Stackhouse over for tea and we could compare notes. After all, my mother was a Fairy, so I’m no slouch in that category myself. That’s my story for today, and I’m sticking to it.
I Wanna Do Bad Things With You (via @mswriteok)
Every time I hear Jace Everett breathe those opening words, “When you came in the air went out,” my heart starts to race and my mind runs towards all the possibilities of what I’ll be seeing for the next hour or so. “I wanna do bad things with you.” Oh yeah, baby. I’d love to know who first thought of this cut for the opening credits of “True Blood.” It’s simply brilliant. While the fast-cuts and bizarre images flash by, I love that baritone voice implying all kinds of nasty treats in store for me. Think of what we’ve seen so far. Bill seducing an innocent Sookie. He’s the first man who has seriously paid attention to her where she had no idea of what would happen next. When she said, “Yes” to him, she gave herself to him utterly, body and blood. Eric, seeing Bill has someone strangely and utterly beguiling on his arm when Sookie makes her first visit to “Fangtasia,” becomes another willing victim to Sookie’s fey charm. He begins plotting to get Sookie at that second. Eric gets some blood into Sookie in a devious way, using guilt as a weapon after he saves her life in the explosion at Godric’s house. Yes, Eric, that’s a “Bad Thing.” My all-time favorite “True Blood” scene is Sookie’s erotic dream featuring Eric. After some wonderful pillow talk, my to-this-day favorite line of the series comes. “I am a darling.” Oh Miss Stackhouse, you surely are. Her wiles go farther than vampires, as we all know. Sam was sweet on her for years. Alcide would have succumbed but their timing has always been off. Still, they show a lot of his wereskin, and oh my, what dirty little thoughts float through my head.
The Season 4 scene with naked Eric and Alcide nearly hyperventilated me. Now, that’s truly bad, and I loved every second of it. Didn’t you? “I don’t know who you think you are but before this night is through I wanna do bad things with you. I wanna do real bad things with you.”
Yum, Season 5 here I come.
True Blood Tunes (via @mswriteok)
If we’re blogging in the Fangathon, then every one of us knows Jace Everett’s tune “Bad Things” and if we ever got together, we could probably manage some pretty good harmony while we sing it, don’t you think?
We know Sookie sings with the radio and she tends to like powerful women singers like Mariah Carey and Carrie Underwood.
Still today, I’m going to have some fun and speculate what music our favorite residents of Bon Temps play to when they’re listening to their radios, MP3 players, etc.
Sookie’s musical tastes follow her mood. If she’s happy and things are going well with her vamp of the moment, it’s Black Eyed Peas because every woman has a little Fergie in her. I also can hear some Katy Perry in there too. “Firework” and “California Gurls” much, much more than “I Kissed a Girl.” If she’s depressed, I’m betting there is some Adele in her collection, as well as James Blount (“You’re Beautiful” is surely there) and John Mayer. When she’s had enough, I’m going for “Wish You Hell” by All American Rejects and Cee Lo Green’s “Forget You,” and if she’s mad enough, she’ll change the words.
Pam, now, will go for “I Kissed a Girl.” I think she also likes bands like Nine Inch Nails, say “Closer,” or a personal favorite of mine, “Sanctified.” The best lyrics in it say “Heaven’s just a rumor she dispells, as she shows you through the nicest parts of hell.” Sound like anyone you know? I’m betting men all over the world think of the Kinks song “Lola” and sigh, remembering their one night with Pam. I’m also thinking she may like chamber music on occasion when she remembers her past, and maybe ragtime.
Eric probably has an extensive collection of everything from Gregorian Chants to Kanye West. With a thousand years of seduction under his belt, he’s a connoisseur of music that helps women want to shed clothing–all the way from the days of lace-up corsets and petticoats to zippers and hooks. You know he’s got Barry White tucked away in there somewhere, as well as some Abba, A-ha and Golden Earring (all bands from the Netherlands). I’m thinking that the music collection at Fantasia is one of the largest in the vampire world.
Bill is more of a classical guy with a slant toward the Blues. His days as a Confederate soldier have given him a love for the tales of men and women done wrong, and his dalliance with Lorena made him a teaser of the ladies as he tickled the ivories and sang tunes with suggestive lyrics. He probably heard LeadBelly and JellyRoll Morton in person and has an amazing knowledge of all music based in the South. On the show, Bill and Sookie’s theme is the most haunting regular piece of music played. The mournful fiddle says it all.
Jason likes any rock and country music you can drink or screw to. I can seen him guzzling a beer and screaming “Freebird” at a Lynyrd Skynyrd outdoor jam as well as screaming lyrics along with the likes of Toby Keith or Tim McGraw. Sam, though he likes rock and country too, seems to be a bit more laid back. Picture him sitting on his porch, feet propped up, cracking open a cold one to any Kenny Chesney beach song, or listening to an old Journey or Boston album. I’ll bet he’s got a copy of several Brad Paisley albums too, because his sense of humor could not resist “Ticks” and “I’m Gonna Miss Her.”

Theme Song Love & True Blood Scores (via @Eric_NorthmanTB)
I don’t know about you, but I love the Theme Song to True Blood. “Bad Things” by Jace Everett is the most played song on my iTunes playlist. It is a song that is on my gym playlist. It is the ringtone to my cell phone. I just find the song catchy and I can’t help but turn up the volume and blare it in the car when I’m driving. It is also one of the theme songs that I don’t skip when I’m watching the True Blood DVDs, although, I do think the opening credits for True Blood to be a little strange but the song makes up for it.
