Mix CD 2012 tracklist
It's holiday wishlist time once again, see holiday_wishes and wish_list and as usual, I'm doing a themed mix CD as my outgoing gift.
This year's theme is to honor the end of the Mayan calendar on 12/21/12, and the possibility, slim though it may be, that the world will end.
THE WORLD IS ALWAYS ENDING (2012 Edition)
1. "End of the World"--Blessid Union of Souls
Just to be clear, the world probably isn't going to end on a schedule, or because of a single event. Even if bad things happen, catastrophic events, you'll probably make it through. Somehow.
2. "The End of the World"--Susan Boyle
But sometimes it sure can feel like your personal drama should be reflected in the rest of reality.
3. "Aftermath"--REM
"And the living sjhall envy the dead."
4. "The End of All You'll Know"--Scott Matthew
For this generation, the cybercrash and loss of Internet might be considered an apocalypse.
5. "Grand Finale"--Yoko Ueno
There's no reason we can't face the end with dignity, if it comes.
6. "I Saw My World Go Down"--Bill and Brenda Sutton
No one said that the world that ends has to be Earth.
7. "I Will Follow You"--By the Tree
For some people, their faith in a person or concept, will see them through the dark times ahead.
8. "It's the End of the World as We Know It"--Leslie Fish
The first of three tracks with Ms. Fish, which is more than I usually give one artist, but she is a leader in the field.
9. "Game Over"--Final Fantasy XIII Soundtrack
"Game over! Game over, man!"
10. "Alone and Forsaken"--Hank Williams
"Winter is coming."
11. "The Last Filk Song"--Dave Luckett
Sadly, we have not yet found a proper escape route, should the Earth be destroyed.
12. "Mars Attacks"--Various Artists
That's especially bad if the threat comes from off-planet.
13. "It's the End of the World as We Know It"--REM
You didn't think I would skip this track just because it's so obvious, did you?
14. "Merry Millenium"--Leslie Fish
"Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice."
15. "A Mushroom Cloud"--Sammy Salvo
Not so long ago it was nuclear war favored to destroy the world...or at least the people living on it.
16. "Ragnarok"--Final Fantasy XIII Soundtrack
The Norse vision of the end of the world, the death of the old gods and the old humanity.
17. "The Red Invasion"--The K-Pers
Flying Saucers filled with Commies? Frighteningly plausible, once.
18. "Virtual Star Embryology"--Kikuko Inoue
"Smash the world's shell!" The mysterious Ends of the Earth may have some of the answers....
19. "Godzilla Roars"--Godzilla 2000 soundtrack
Giant monsters awakened by humanity's hubristic abuse of science make a great metaphor.
20. "Serious Steel"--Leslie Fish & Joe Bethancourt
Even in the post apocalyptic world, there are those who will survive, nay, will thrive. And you all laughed.
21. ""Sun Collapse"--The Chemical Brothers
Okay, that we might not be able to survive.
22. "Talking Atom"--Pete Seeger
Atomic war may not be on the horizon, but that doesn't mean we should get complacent about the Bomb.
23. "This Jesus Must Die"--Broadway Cast
Sometimes, it's a new idea that threatens the extinction of the world we know.
24. "We Kept On Dancing"--Nate Bucklin
So how do we prepare for the end of the world? Dance!
25. "Day Is Done"--Dream Factory
Every time you go to sleep, the world ends, and there is a changed world when you awaken. The world is always ending, and always beginning.
I'll be posting my wishlist a bit later, but your thoughts and comments?
