It's the scene...

...the Holocene!


It's the end of an era, folks! Our far too hurried exodus from the Holocene into the on-our-way-to-I, Robot-like era of the Anthropocene has me all bummed inside. In the memory of yesteryear, and this first sign of a man-induced apocalypse, I give you a soundtrack with which you can mourn the beginning of the end.


"End of the World" - REM

"The End is the Beginning is the End" - Smashing Pumpkins
It should be noted that, though I detest Billy Corgan (mostly) entirely, it WOULD be his voice that would usher me into the dawn of the Wall-E era.

"99 Luftballoons" - Nena
...this could really be a shout out to our obvious German fans (that's right, we cater to your preferences, here at MB)

"New Dark Age" - The Sound

"The Times Are A'Changin'" - Bob Dylan
...kudos to Uncle Bob for seeing this one coming decades in advance.

"Waiting for the End of the World" - Elvis Costello

And, so there you have it, kids. It's sad but true.
Happy Monday to all!!
