Needless to say, I do not believe the world is going to end tomorrow. OK, I said it anyway. And now that it’s said, let’s have a little fun with it.
I’ve put together an iTunes playlist of songs from my music library that seemed fitting in some way for the occasion:
- Steely Dan — Black Friday
- National Health — The Apocalypso
- Nine Inch Nails — The Beginning of the End
- Rush — In the End
- The Beatles — The End
- Styx — Don’t Let It End
- Zero 7 — End Theme
- Kraftwerk — Europe Endless
- Hall & Oates — Friday Let Me Down
- Chicago — It Better End Soon (1st Movement)
- Chicago — It Better End Soon (2nd Movement)
- Chicago — It Better End Soon (3rd Movement)
- Chicago — It Better End Soon (4th Movement)
- Prince — 1999
- Genesis — Los Endos
- King Crimson — Peace: An End
- R.E.M. — It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
- U2 — Until the End of the World
- Elvis Costello — Waiting for the End of the World
- Happy Apple — The World Begins and Ends in Your Combover
- Room 34 — December 22, 2012
Yes, that last one is my own… recorded earlier this year as a reflection on what the world will be like the day after it ends. You can get it here. (Interesting side note: every sound on that song — the whole album in fact — was produced on an iPhone.)
