Playlist: End Of The World

It’s been a rough few weeks, to say the least. The stuff that’s not under water is either quaking or on fire.

A certain Secretary of Education is working overtime to undermine the safety and bodily autonomy of women on college campuses everywhere. A giant credit reporting agency majorly Equifucked up in a breach of 143 million peoples’ personal information.

And still, two bad-haired temperamental man-children with their fingers on launch buttons are poking and prodding each others’ fragile egos when they really should just admit they’re twinsies forever, hug it out, and retire on an island together.

Anxiety, thy name is September.

So let’s unwind. Crack one open, light one up (legally of course), and imagine that everything is fine for 47 minutes with this End Of The World Playlist.

  1. “And as things fell apart
    Nobody paid much attention”

    (Nothing but)Flowers by the Talking Heads

    • “This once was a Pizza Hut
      Now it’s all covered with daisies
      you got it, you got it”

      I will admit I think the first time I really paid attention to song was when I was watching Clerks II and it was playing at starting credits.

  2. Ibeyi – Oya

    For welcoming the end and your escort to the gates. >_>

    Oh hey by the way there’s an actual word in what counts as english for death guide and guess what it’s ridiculous, invented in the 1800’s probably by Western europeans waxing poetic about death.
    That word is psychopomp.
    It’s mashing the elements psykhe(spirit) and pompos(guide) together with dash of anglicization.
    I have no idea if psykhepompos was ever a real Greek word in any version of something that gets called Greek.

  3. For some reason, I feel good listening to the playlist while gaming.
    especially fps games are a hit.
