Hell I would probably just play Time and be done with it...


I thought you said that album was background noise...

Also, RAR HAIL SATAN!!!!

Inverted crosses, necromancy, slaughtering virgins, all that good stuff.

my internal affairs, I am SO with you on "Viðrar vel til loftárása." That song is just asplodey with awesome. OR "Starálfur" would work too. But I dont' want people to cry at my funeral, I'd rather they be like "HAHA THIS SONG TOTALLY FITS HIM 'CAUSE HE WAS A DICK." So pick the most offensive Tenacious D song you can find and put it on repeat.

I was talking about the Tom Waits song called Time which is indefinitely better than the Pink Floyd one.

I just realized that the Zelda theme does kind of work. It's sort of triumphant.


It's probably the most triumphant song in existence.

Your dad is almost awesome. Too bad Kansas is weak man's quasi prog.



But I just hate Kansas.


I think it's a pretty inspired choice for someone who doesn't know or care about music.

Captain Beefheart - Making Love to a Vampire With a Monkey on My Knee

I mean, that last fuckin' verse,
God, please fuck my mind for good
Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee
Oh fuck that thing... fuck that poem...eyes crawl out with maggots
White cloth bones pile up light thrown blades
Rags 'n' skull... scoops soil cracks... drain screams... please
Take my hand 'n' join me... too soon its clutches gleams
Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee
Death be damned... life!

How is that not awesome?

My funeral will be in a church, and "Rainin' Men" will be playing as I'm lowered form the rafters into my coffin.

Potted Plant, that would only work if you're cremated and you have your ashes tossed from a plane flying at 10,000 feet.

Just stick explosives in the urn, light the fuse and chuck the thing out the window. That will be the only pyrotechnic material you need. Ever.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

Can't Find My Way Home - Blind Faith

Mmm gospel + Clapton. Which is funny 'cause he sold his soul to Satan.

Edit: Whoa I totally thought this was the "What are you listening to?" thread, and I was gonna delete this post but I realize, wow, I actually do want this played at my funeral.

I'm pretty sure you're not unique at that. Didn't a bunch of people DIE at Roskilde during that song?

Still, I wouldn't want a song about incest played at my funeral.

M83 - Birds and Unrecorded

then like, the last 3 minutes of "Tunnel Of Love" by Dire Straits. I want to be lowered into the ground to a Knopfler solo.

A great deal of the soundtrack from The Motorcycle Diaries would be played, to signify me setting off on another metaphysical journey on a rickety old motorbike (yeah yeah, smell da cheese :P)
Also RUN DMC's greatest hits, to inspire dancing and jollity in celebration of my life, not weeping at my passing.

That's the spirit :D

You got/heard the "Alchemy" live album? There's 14-15 minute versions of both Tunnel and Sultans on there, the solos are stretched to ridiculous proportions \m/

Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go

why not? I don't like to be predictable, and I thought it'd be funny to see what happen, what the harm? I'll be dead, I have the pleasure of not being able to hear that song :P
