friday random ten – “Lenny Bruce is not afraid” edition
So, it’s nearly 10am EST, and we’re all still here. I’m not surprised, but a small part of me is a little upset, what with all the literal wailing and gnashing of teeth we’re missing, and the figurative stuff I’m getting via twitter (though at least that’s funny).
might as well spin some tunes, see what sort of apocalyptic stuff comes up:
- “One Day, Robots Will Cry” – Cobra Starship
- “The Moon and the Prince” – Akitaka Tohyama, Kenji Ninuma (Katamari Damacy sndtrk)
- “Carnivore” – Liz Phair
- “I Will Wait” – Mumford and Sons
- “Song for a River” – The Badlees
- “Deep Blue” – Arcade Fire
- “Too Little, Too Late” – Barenaked Ladies
- “Annie” – that dog.
- “Your Latest Trick” – Dire Straits
- “There’s A Fine Fine Line” – Avenue Q OST
Squint at that list just right, and you can see a bit of apocalypse in there, as long as you read “apocalypse” as getting rolled up in a huge ball by a little green guy (#2), or a story/song setting that normally looks so post-apocalyptic that they shot The Road there (#5). Also, #1 is from the band who did the theme song to Snakes on a Plane, and we all know that after the earthquake and the birds, it’s “snakes and aeroplanes”, according to prophecy by noted seer Michael Stipe. So, yeah.
Oh well.
