Considering terminal musics

A recent visit to my personal abode and culture bunker by Clan Johno included a soundtrack provided by Band of Gypsys.

In subsequent discussion, I explained that someone who hears "Machine Gun" and is not moved has no soul. And I didn't mean "soul" in the James Brown, real supabad sense. I'm not saying you have to like it- you could be moved to loathe it. OK. But the energy and the wailing and the wah wah wah weeeoooooDRAAAAAANNNNNNNN ah wa wa wa wa wa awaw provokes all who hear.

Which days later got me to thinking about dying in a horrible plane crash.

Assuming I had it with me, and I had the time to listen, and I was together enough to make my player work at that moment, and not flipping the fuck out at the prospect of my imminent demise, I decided I would like "Machine Gun" to be my terminal music. The last music I heard before impact and non-existence.

Yeah.

So. All the assumptions listed above apply to you. What is your terminal music?

Horrible plane crash? Well, I have always hoped to go out with a certain jaunty devil-may-care insouciance, so I'm going with "Me-262" by Blue Oyster Cult.

I've always been partial to the Molly Hatchet cover of "Dreams I'll Never See". Until I wrote that, I hadn't noted the significance of the title.

Pretty much any of the tracks off this CD seems appropriate.

P.S. why is my captcha text "straight" - is it trying to cast aspersions on my manliness? ;)
