Song of the day
Pretty Lavinia by American Murder Song
There is just something about murder songs, isn’t there? This one is apparently based on an actual person who lived and committed crimes in the 1800s, Lavinia Fisher, though whether she actually ever killed anyone is under dispute.
Back to the song, though: I love the cheerful but ever so slightly discordant melody here. It really amplifies the creepiness. And the “sing-along” section is an amazing addition.
