Godspeed You Black Emperor! - The Dead Flag Blues

The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful..
These are truly the last days"

You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood

Joy Division - Atmosphere.
Godspeed you! Black Emperor - Dead flag blues.
My dying bride - cry of mankind.
Beethoven - Moonlight sonata.

On repeat.

You all are so dreary. End of the world, I'm trying to feel nice. I think I'm checking some Otis Redding. Definitely some old-time Gospel.

Although, I think the punk vibe might be the right thing. I do like a lot of those selections though in those mixes. Almost any old Springsteen tune would work too.

I'm more with Genesius on this one: I would want to hear things that make me chill or smile before I disappear forever, so Miles Kind of Blue is at the top of my list.

To give a nod to whatever disaster is causing this, it would have to be XTC's "This world over" (sorry don't know how to embed these things yet):

The soundtrack from the NFB's "Hinterland Who's Who", except the subject would be human beings, and their ultimate extinction.

i only looked at the first 12, but the fact that, the doors 'the end', is with this range make me wonder.

i'll also add strauss's 'thus sprach zarathustra'

it can work for a beginning and and ending (is there really any difference).

lol.. at the add for the forum preaching the mayan ending of dec 21, 2012. wait, the mayan's used the gregorian calendar? who knew? that or someone's been taking sitchin too seriously.

Oh of course anything Chad Vangaalen will do.

"You can take my body, put it in a boat
light it on fire, send it out to see"

in the nicest way possible.

Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows
Lesley Gore

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together,
Brighter than a lucky penny,
When you're near the rain cloud disappears, dear,
And I feel so fine just to know that you are mine.

My life is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
That's how this refrain goes, so come on, join in everybody!

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way
When you're in love to stay.

My life is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
That's how this refrain goes, so come on, join in everybody!

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way
'Cause you're in love, you're in love,
And love is here to stay!
