Let's lighten things up a little bit. What's your playlist for the Apocalypse? So far mine is:

We Will Become Silhouettes - The Postal Service; the first line is totally stuck in my head.

Calamity Song - The Decemberists; A favorite of Little Bit

It's The End Of The World - R.E.M.; Kinda obvious

Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult; I'm still creeped out from watching The Stand as a kid.

OMG, I am both a huge Tool/Perfect Circle/Puscifer fan and I love Hitchhiker's Guide. How did I not know this song existed?!?

Also, the official video is creepy and I hope not too prophetic.

10 Years - Wasteland (disclaimer: I'd never watched the video before tonight. Don't watch if you're easily depressed, just listen)

Metallica - Enter Sandman (So many sleep issues, stress makes worse)

Yes, I like other types of music... but Kesha and Lady Gaga don't quite feel right in this thought process!

The Stand is the only book to have defeated me to date (this is big; I even finished the Silmarillion). I got to the descriptions of Captain Tripps devastating America and had to put it down. This may or may not have happened because I was reading it at 2:00 am. I still have the unabridged version in hard cover on my shelf. It was my dad's, and I miss him every time I glance at it.

As a metal man, I "am down with" many of the above-mentioned songs. But I am also a huge consumer of film scores, and Cliff Martinez' soundtrack for Solaris may be my favourite.

In that vein, I nominate this for the playlist:
Contagion.

As a bonus, and the best of both worlds (metal meets film music):
Resident Evil.

Guess I don't need to explain my choices.
