Last Margarita?
Okay, so.
The world may or may not be ending next Friday, with all that Mayan calendar business. Don’t know about you, don’t know about what the skeptics say, but I intend to hedge my bets.
It’s entirely possible Friday, December 21st may be my last airshift. Ever. Yup. Or not. Either way, I’m going to indulge myself. And I’m bringing you with me.
Tell me. What’s your last request?
If there was one song in the world that you’d want to hear just one last time before the fit all hits the shans, what would it be? I’ll work in what I can. No, really.
I’m going to throw in a prize, for those of you who plan on being around December 22nd and on: a sweet pair of Maui Jim Cliff House shades! Random drawing from request entries. Winner must be able to pick them up at the station.
The Velvet Underground, “What Goes On,” on an endless loop to heaven. 1969 Live version preferred, but the studio version’s length is more radio-friendly.
Coldplay – The Scientist
REM…It’s The End Of The World
“Buttercup”- Brad, Not sure if my 1st request for this went through, but totally worth submitting twice. Such a mellow, timeless song!
“Buttercup”- Brad- back to 1993, but a GREAT one!!
Since I’ve been lovin you/ Led Zeppelin
Alice in Chains “Brother” unplugged
Jeff Buckeley’s rendition of Hallelujah. A good solemn contrast to the apocalypse.
Airline to Heaven by Wilco! One of my all time faves.
Plush by STP. I love that song
I’d like to die listening to “I and Love and You” by the Avett Brothers.
“What If” by Coldplay….always reminds me that things can change in an instant!
It has to be a classic like “Gimme Shelter” by the Rolling Stones. An epic song for an epic event.
Dave Matthews, When the World Ends – never did get to sleep with the man – boohoo!
Beatles – Abbey Road Meddley, ending with “The End”
U2 “with or without you” just not the 21st, but everyday I could listen to that song
U2 “with or without you”, just not the 21st, but everyday I could hear that song
I would most definitely listen to “Night Swimming” by REM while drinking a cold beer. Yep.
If I was on the eve of the apocalypse, I would probably listen to “Gasoline” by The Silent Comedy to get prepared. I think the talk of “a big roaring fire” in the song would get me prepared for the hell fire that I assume would be raining down.
Born To Run!
