My favorite "getting to know you" question has always been:
I am holding a gun to your head. I am going to kill you, no question about it. First, however, I will allow you one song request. One song, only one, and the second it ends, I'm killing you. Goodbye. This will be the last thing you ever hear.
What song do you want me to play?
(It's kind of a silly question, but it gets the conversation started.)
-
Freebird. I know it is disliked by some but I really like it. Also, 10 minutes. Or mebie something by rush. On the other hand, you could play some children of bodom and I'd try and disarm you.
-
Can I take the comedy option of hearing “Longplayer” (http://longplayer.org/)? It started playing six years ago and will will finish for the first time at the turn of the next millienium.
Will the guy continually be holding a gun to my head for the thousand-year duration of the song?
-
Actually, this is kind of a cool idea here...
I think that if I had a choice, I would want my last song ever heard to be "Jane Doe" by Converge. I always thought that would be a really good way for me to go out, listening to that song...
-
The Spark That Bled by The Flaming Lips just for the irony.
"I accidently touched my head...and noticed that it had been bleeding"
-
Maybe Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. It's so beautiful and long enough for me not to regret it too much.
-
Love You To Death by Type O Negative that would sit pretty well with me, and hopefully cause my soon to be killer to have bad memories of the encounter.
-
i'm gonna go with either "Hearts Frozen Soil Sod Once More By The Spring Of Rage, Despair, And Hopelessness" by AFI because its less than a minute long and half the song consists of "whoa! whoa! i will die screaming! *repeat*"
or "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan because i wouldnt regret hearing that one last time.
-
Well obviously I'd listen to "Nineteen Forever" by Joe Jackson, because I'm 19, and if you killed me now, I really would never be 35.
-
Sister Ray by the Velvet Underground. Either the studio version or the 38-minute one on the Quine Tapes.
I suppose I'd also consider Television's Elevation. Seems like it would be kind of appropriate.
-
The last rtack of Tool's album Lateralus, so that you would be haunted forever.
-
right now I think that "Abraham", by Sufjan Stevens would be a nice choice. It would feel just like going to sleep.
-
"The Misinterpretation of Silence and It's Disastrous Consequences" by Type O Negative.
-
Probably Accident prone by Jawbreaker. Its six Minutes and I think it'd fit with whats going on.
-
In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country by Boards of Canada
-
I'd probably listen to Sleep's "Dopesmoker," because it's 63 or so minutes long, and simultaneously both cool enough and sad enough to warrent being a last song ever.
-
'The Mercy Seat' by Nick Cave to see if I could freak out the shooter enough to stop them from killing me!
-
I would request "The Song that Never Ends." :evil:
In all seriousness, probably "Bohemian Rahpsody". Partly for the mildly ironic beggining but mostly because I like it.
-
I've always thought it would be pretty kick ass to go out with Goodbye Cruel World - Pink Floyd.
-
'Punk Rock Song' by Avenue D
Fuck me fuck me fuck me hard
fuck me in a vat of lard
throw me up against the wall
let me grab you by the balls
why don't we just fuck right here
on the bar, move the beer
pull my hair, grab my neck,
lube me up with cum and sweat
I don't give a shit, come on my tits
make me twitch, I'm a dirty bitch
bend over, shut your eyes
grit your teeth, spread your thighs
I don't give a shit, come on my tits
make me twitch, I'm a dirty bitch
beat me beat me beat me up
in your rusty pick up truck
make me suck your rock hard cock
shove it in my pretty cunt
I don't give a shit, come on my tits
make me twitch, I'm a dirty bitch
pump me pump me pump me full
let me ride you like a bull
throw me down treat me rough
don't stop till I've had enough
treat me like a dirty slut
stick your fingers in my butt
wrap my legs around your head
if you cum right now, YOU'RE DEAD!
I don't give a shit, come on my tits
make me twitch, I'm a dirty bitch
-
Mozart's piano concerto in D minor, just because it's so gorgeous, and has such a wonderfully gentle, poignant end.
-
What's that song that's been going for hundreds of years? I choose that one. (you know, where they play a note every so often)
-
Where Is My Mind - The Pixies, definetely
-
Actually, 'Dead' by the Pixies would be pretty ironic.
-
"Comma Comma Comma Full Stop" by Brakes.
-
I've Been Tired by Pixies would be better, it would remind you that there are worse ways to go -
"And while we're at it baby, why don't you tell me one of your biggest fears?"
I said "Loosing my penis to a whore with disease"
She said "Excuse me please?"
"Just kidding" I said "Losing my life to a whore with disease"
-
While we're talking about Pixies songs, I think Hang Wire or Stormy Weather would be good songs for this. Broken Face would be appropriate lyrically, though I don't love it quite as much as I used to.
-
While I'm tempted to say Maggot Brain, by Funkadelic (OMG GUITAR), I would probably go for Longplayer as well. 1000 years is a nice long time to live.
-
While Untitled 7 (Dauðalagið) would be most appropriate, I'd have to go with Untitled 8 (Popplagið) by Sigur Rós.
Second choice would be Mogwai Fear Satan by Mogwai.
-
"Wont Get Fooled Again" - The Who, or, hell, anything by the Who.
-
easy
john cage - 4'33"
-
While Untitled 7 (Dauðalagið) would be most appropriate, I'd have to go with Untitled 8 (Popplagið) by Sigur Rós.
Second choice would be Mogwai Fear Satan by Mogwai.
Any of those songs would be awesome.
I might pick Washer or Good Morning, Captain by Slint, but that's really just indicative of my current listening habits.
-
I could go quite happily after hearing Washer again too. Or maybe History Lesson - Part II by the Minutemen.
-
Fugazi - Last Chance for a Slow Dance is sticking out to me to be a fitting deth song.
That or I Wanna Be Your Dog.
-
End on End, by Rites Of Spring
If its going to be the last song I hear I want it to be one that still makes my chest tight.
-
probably "fuck you" by the queers. it's like 40 seconds long and gets right to the point. i don't think i'd have the nerve to sit and listen to a 12 minute long mogwai song or some moody introspective sigur ros thing knowing that i'd be shot in the head in a matter of moments.
-
Sally Maclennane by The Pogues.
Its so upbeat that the chap with the gun might have a change of heart.
Then we could go to the pub and have a pint of guiness and maybe some pie......
-
We should write a "Songs to Die To" playlist...
either for those really emo moments, or to be really uplifting.
-
BTW - my last song would i think be I'm the Man who Loves you (wilco)
-
Now for my serious answer
I think it would be Poor Places - Wilco as it has been my favourite song for a long time.
-
probably "fuck you" by the queers. it's like 40 seconds long and gets right to the point.
"Comma Comma Comma Full Stop" by Brakes.
*ahem*
-
Probably 'Generator' by Holloways so I'd forget I was about to die and start dancing the happy dance to throw off the gun weilder.
Or, y'know, something miserable, vaguely poignant and entirely inappropriate.
Like 'How Soon Is Now'. But done by Tatu.
A girl's gotta do something to guarantee her place in hell...
-
MUFFY
YOU'RE BACK
-
I am going to think about this and return....
-
Hrrrrmmmmm.
I think I'll pick 'Ready To Die' by The Unicorns.
Sure, it's a really short song, but I still like it. AND I GUESS ITS APPROPRIATE, SINCE I'M READY TO DIE.
Huh, now that I think about, maybe 'I Don't Wanna Die,' which is also by The Unicorns. I can't decide!
-
"Say Hello To Heaven" by Temple of the Dog.
-
probably "fuck you" by the queers. it's like 40 seconds long and gets right to the point.
"Comma Comma Comma Full Stop" by Brakes.
*ahem*
well, while it is only six seconds long, and i agree with you that it is an appropriate choice, there exists one insurmountable difference between "comma..." and "fuck you." this, of course, lies in the fact that "fuck you" will leave one dancing around shouting, "i don't wanna hang around with you, i think you suck and smell bad too," or perhaps more appropriately, "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you." and, of course, if i'm going out, i want to do it while shouting expletives.
-
dancing with mephisto - Enigma, or
upwards over the mountain - Iron and Wine
-
The entire score to the H.M.S. Pinafore!
…
[/obscure cultural reference]
…
100 Years - Five for Fighting
…
[/lazy answer]
…
No, really, I think I'd go with Sweet Avenue by Damien Rice. I haven't heard much else by the guy, the song isn't the best song evar OMG, and I don't even know how I got it, but I like it a lot. Seems like it would be a decent note to go out on, just feeling contented-like and happy.
EDIT:[/i] Oh oh oh the Spam Song by Monty Python!
-
I'd probably want some Hymn to play. Not really sure which, but definately church music. It's just the only thing I could imagine listening to before taking a bullet to the brain.
-
Tupac- Just Like Daddy
-
I'd probably listen to The All-American Rejects - The Last Song, just to listen to something with a quite litteral title :) Although it's really a hard question to answer, as there are far better songs in this world, but maybe not fitting for such a situation? Indeed, a thought of the day.
And hooray, first post.
-
Hm...Who Wants to Live Forever.
-
I'd have to say, "Disappear" by Metallica
-
You'd go out to a crappy Metallica song that's only real claim to fame is being the inspiration for the shut-down of Napster? Damn. This kid needs a Leonard Cohen injection, stat.
I have no idea what I'd choose. The only thing that comes to mind is Johnny Cash's cover of The Mercy Seat.
-
Mourning Beloveth - the killing machine
deep, sad, crippling funeral death/doom-metal
after listening to this song, I'll not be afraid to die, i'll be already dead
-
Is that a picture of Sean Malone?
Because if so, you are an OK dude in my book.
-
Today i listened to the chacarron song for the first time, I want to use that. I'm pretty certain that even if the gunman managed to keep his aim despite being convulsing due to laughter, i'd be laughing my ass of so hard that i would not mind being shot.
-
"My Way" could be a good goodbye song...But it must be the Frank Sinatra Version, not that hedious cover Sid Vicious recorded or the just as awful version made by Robbie "i-need-to-cram-my-videos-full-of-hot-ladies-to-reaffim-my-masculinity" Williams
-
Today i listened to the chacarron song for the first time, I want to use that. I'm pretty certain that even if the gunman managed to keep his aim despite being convulsing due to laughter, i'd be laughing my ass of so hard that i would not mind being shot.
Isn't it brilliant? You need to watch the video clip for the full pass-out-from-laughing experience.
-
The Horn Intro from Good News for People Who Love Bad News, 'cause it's like 9 seconds long. Why would you want to hear a song that's six minutes long? Wouldn't that just give you time to do nothing but contemplate the fact that you're going to die?
At least with a short song, you don't have to worry for long.
That, or something by 50cent... because then a bullet in the brain would be a sweet relief
-
Is that a picture of Sean Malone?
Because if so, you are an OK dude in my book.
it is, sean is cool :-D
-
Actually, I'd probably pick some song I know the words to and I know I don't have the vocal ability to sing right.
Y'know, just to torture the fuck with my shitty singing.
-
Hahaha... that's actually a pretty good one, there.
I retract my earlier statement, in light of the idea of torturing the person who's going to shoot you. I'd sing "Heat of the moment" by Asia, in the voice of Cartman from southpark (complete with handclaps ? la Kenny Dies episode)
-
How about Pedro The Lion - Rejoice. I'm just cynical enough to want the line "most everything turns to shit - rejoice!" as a kind of epitaph...
-
Jokes:
John Cage - 4'33
Probably in real life either:
Mr. Bungle - Vanity Fair (for going out with a bang)
Tin Hat Trio - Empire Of Lights (dying quietly)
-
Mr. Bungle - Vanity Fair (for going out with a bang)
\m/
-
It's a tough choice.
But I think that if I were ever placed in this situation, I'd realistically choose something joyful, long, and epic, and the very first thing that came to mind is:
Tchaikovsky's Opus 23, "Piano Concerto #1 in B flat minor"
Not only because the peice is about a half hour long, but becuase it's just so beautiful and spiritually uplifting. I truly think I'd die a happy man if this was the last thing I heard. The guy can blow my brains out right at the end of the flourish at "Allegro with Fire", in time with the music ;-).
BTW, don't get the impression that I listen to a lot of classical music, or any for that matter. In fact, I had to grab my CD and research Wikipedia to find out what the full title of these ogg vorbis rips I've been listeneing to all these years was ;-).
-
I guess in answer to my own question, I would say "Aqueous Transmission" by Incubus.
If you know the song, you know that it's about seven minutes long, but the last minute or so is just cricket noises and water sounds. Right? So, the guy keeps sitting up and clearing his throat thinking the song is over, but I'm all like:
"Oh, no, man ... deal is a deal, I wanna hear those crickets!"
Hell yeah.
-
Now I would say a song that is obscenely long, such as Third Eye (By Tool, at over 13 minutes) but honestly, I wouldn't want to sit there for that long in agony.
So I will say "With A Thousand Words To Say But One" (Darkest Hour) just out of the shear irony.
The last lines are: "And walking through the rain
We'll see the beauty in life again."
:-P
-
No, really, I think I'd go with Sweet Avenue by Damien Rice. I haven't heard much else by the guy, the song isn't the best song evar OMG, and I don't even know how I got it, but I like it a lot. Seems like it would be a decent note to go out on, just feeling contented-like and happy.
Dude that is a song by jets to brazil. Someone spread it round on download as damien rice.
The lyrics go:
Tasting you and rain I walk down to the train...
That's actually a fucking brilliant song, and would be my choice.
-
John Cage - 4'33"
-
"Push It To The Limit" - Paul Engemann
-
Hmm hard choice
maybe Amarok Zorn Des Lammes part III by Nargaroth
or
When by Opeth
-
Yeah I wouldn't really care about making some sort of final statement with a song, I'd pick a song that just has enough closure for me. Depending on my mood, I'd either pick
Joy Division - Disorder
or
Stereolab - Wow and Flutter
-
I'd probably want some Hymn to play. Not really sure which, but definately church music. It's just the only thing I could imagine listening to before taking a bullet to the brain.
thats very boondock saints of you, and i think appropriate... however, my choice would be jukebox hero by foreigner... i can listen to that 100 million times and never get sick of it
-
either:
"Surgical Sound Specimens from the Museum of Flesh" by Fantomas
"In My Life" by Johnny Cash
"Please Don't Shoot Me" by me
-
Swamp Thing - The Chameleons
Without a doubt.
-
"London Bridge" by Fergie
I figure after listenin' to this a bullet to the brain and an eternity of damnation won't be as bad
but seriously "A Love Supreme parts I-IV" by John Coltrane not just because it's really long, but its possibly the most emotion that anyone has ever been able to express with a musical instrument.
-
i'd listen to taps. can't think of anything more fitting.
-
Wow what a question! I like the idea of Sally MacLennane - now that's a track to play at a club by the way, one of the DJs at my union has a habit of throwing Pogues tracks in and it works brilliantly.
But back on topic - if I was going to die, and could only listen to one song, my mind would go blank. I think, and I hate to copy, it would be 'Fairytale of New York' by the Pogue and Kirsy McColl because it's just such an amazing song, and it has so many good memories for me.
-
Very good question...
I'd probably have to go with something like "Scream" or "Asleep for Days" by Seven Nations. Make it hard for the guy to find it, therefore can go sneakysneak away and get off scot free.
Maybe "The River" by Tapping the Vein, or the remake of "Little Sister" by Carfax Abbey. Get with the dark vibe, and all.
-
I think I'd choose "Saving Grace" by Tom Petty.
-
"Rocket Boy", by Jets to Brazil, hands down. Epic end to an epic music career for Blake, and it'd just fit.
-
The Pixies- This Monkeys Gone to Heaven
-
wow...i can just imagine some one getting asked that in a club getting a very strange expression on their face and walking away very quickly
i can think of four options here
1. i'm going to die in that case i should listen to my favorite song of all time in which case i would request
you sound like louis burdett - the whitlams
2. i don't want to die let's draw this out as long as possible
Dopesmoker - sleep (total time 1 hour and 4 minutes)
3. lets get this over with
You Suffer - napalm death listed in the guiness book of records as the shortest track of all time total time 1.316 seconds
4. try and send them a message
um theressa give me that knife - nomeansno, disarm - smashing pumpkins you get the idea
-
I think maybe Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull. Yeah, I could dig that at my funeral.
-
at the drive in - cosmonaut
-
@Pierce- Good choice. Love ATDI.
-
i've always thought i'd fade out to some... slap-bass
-
Fugazi- Shut the Door
-
Orbital - Halcyon and On and On
-
Hum - "Stars"
-
If classical music really is an option, then I'd probably opt for some Mahler (maybe his 2. Symphony labelled "Resurrection" - definitely NOT just because of this tag). But since each symphony usually consists of several movements, maybe this doesn't qualify as "last piece of music you'll ever hear". If so, then I'ld choose "Neptune" (i.e. the final movement of Holst's "The Planets") - it would feel like being -? already in advance - carried away to heavens (or whatever aetheric elysium one might imagine when listening to this women choire in the endsection).
Classical tunes aside it's even harder to make a decision. To choose one of my all-time favourites would make me sad, since I'd know that I would listen to it for the very last time. But finally I came up with "Blow out" by Radiohead - yep, sounds like another pun, but actually I only remembered the title when I just read it on the CD-Cover - the climax of that final guitar-riff, I think, makes for an excellent moment to pass out and away.
Yos
-
Good Day, by Kunek. Chill out to excellent tunes right before I go...
"Today, it's gonna be...such a good day, such a good day...to say goodbye..."
-
probably something that lasted for ages and ages, so i could divert them and escape.... like the tain by the decemberists (almost 20 minutes long) or untitled by the flaming lips (almost 30 minutes long)
hmm
-
Orbital - Halcyon and On and On
YES.
-
hmm maybe something by mogwai, becuase i tend to go to sleep when i listen to them and sleeping sounds like a peaceful death, maybe the tide by the spill canvas cause it makes me want to die anyway (not that i don't like it, they're brilliant), or bukowski by modest mouse.
-
Other than the stuff suggested, I might go with "The Funeral", by Band of Horses. That is a song that might make me a little more comfortable before going down. "At any occasion, I am ready for the funeral." Mogwai would be close behind. I've always been a fan of "Hunted by a Freak".
-
the happy happy joy joy song as performed by Ren and Stimpy, I don't see how anyone could possibly take themselves seriously enough to kill anyone after hearing it? :-D
failing that, for my own benefit, King Crimson, maybe Lark's Tongues in Aspic, maybe some Opeth.
-
I'm thinking Jane Doe by Converge, that song just sounds like dying. Fermented Offal Discharge by Necrophagist might also do if I was in that kinda mood, because of the amazing solo at the end, and then the abrupt ending. Perfect to be shot to I should think.
Alternitively, I could go out to something more laid back. December Song by Sol Invictus comes to mind, maybe some Agalloch. Tomhet by Burzum would make for a very relaxed death. Khetti Sahsa Shemsu by Nile very much captures the feeling of being about to be killed, so that might be fitting.
-
the song that never ends! :evil:
they would deal with death, but depending on my mood, in a different way...
goodbye - celldweller
summer of darkness - demon hunter
ex nihilo/denouement - becoming the archetype
cryptorchid - marilyn manson
-
Lou Reed- Metal Machine Music on vinyl. It has a locked groove at the end of side 4. Of course, listening to it for eternity would be worse than death.
I would go with Death Don't Have No Mercy or Friend of the Devil by the Grateful Dead. Just two of my favorite songs.
-
"Go Forth and Die" by Dethklok
-
Ha Ha your dead - Greenday.
Just because it would amuse me.
in reality...
EITHER
Gigantic or Debaser - Pixies
OR
Voodoo People
Prodigy, but the Pendulum remix.
bit of a difference there, but there you go!!
-
"Cows" by the Suburbs
doubt anyone heres ever heard them though
-
In the words of Dave Barry ...
"Hey Jude, by the Beatles, the end part of which where they do the 'na na na nanana na' is still being recorded."
Master tapes of course :D
-
Compared to all of yours --mine is lame (although, I didn't read through everyones...): One Song Glory from Rent.
Unless you meant, like...a musicanish song... in which case...Blowin' In the Wind by Bob Dylan, or American Pie by Don McLean
-
"new animals from the air" by eluvium. it sounds like an ascending. or something. but it's a good song to die to i should think.
-
Idioteque by Radiohead.
-
i've been thinking too much about death lately... to make me comfortable:
Sufjan Stevens - 'Chicago' ('All Things Go, all things go')
The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?
Neutral Milk Hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea
cliche, but i don't care
-
Certainly down with Pixies Where is My Mind and American Pie by Don McLean...
But I think I'd have to go with Flames by VAST. After that, I think I would be peaceful and ready to die.
-
Actually, this is kind of a cool idea here...
I think that if I had a choice, I would want my last song ever heard to be "Jane Doe" by Converge. I always thought that would be a really good way for me to go out, listening to that song...
SUCH a good fucking song.
-
"Don't Fear the Reaper" - Blue Oyster Cult
Appropriate! Whoo!
Or, if we were going with songs that I really liked, "Decatur, or a Round of Applause for Your Stepmother" - Sufjan Stevens or "Leslie Ann Levine" by the Decemberists.
If you were dressed up like a clown, "John Wayne Gacy Jr.", also by Sufjan Stevens.
-
"the Dimond Sea" By Sonic Yotuh.... I just love that song as much as any other song from them, but it would be a cool song to listen before i die... :-D
-
Hm. Eels - Elizabeth on the Bathroom floor.
Why? Because it would guarantee that after shooting me, the killer would also shoot himself in dispair.
-
"the Dimond Sea" By Sonic Yotuh.... I just love that song as much as any other song from them, but it would be a cool song to listen before i die... :-D
the 30 minute extended version or the single version?
-
Either:
A. Brahms entire First Symphony
B. uhh....Fourth track off of Mr. Bungle - California (the one where it ends with a heart monitor flatlining)
or C. !T.O.O.H.! - Kali. It is, to me, the epitome of swansongs.
-
The Pixes are coming here in March. If i survive that long i can off myself to 'Where Is My Mind', like the end of Fight Club
cliche, but its been a fantasy
-
I think one last "What's Yours is Mine" would be pretty rockin'
Or maybe Inna-de-gadda-da-vita. Maybe it'll cause my attacker to commit suicide. We can hope!
-
See, this is a hard one. On one hand, my natural reaction is to say "Fools Gold" by the Stone Roses, because a) I fucking love that song b) it is long and c) maybe the beat would cause the gun wielding maniac to get their funk on, forgetting about me so that I can escape. But, I have heard that song thousands of times, so maybe I should revisit a song I've not listened to in a while. "Jock-o-rama" by the Dead Kennedys leaps to mind (not sure why) as does "Turkish Song of the Damned" by the Pogues.
If Shane McGowen drunken growling isn't the perfect foray into death, then I don't know what is.
I know that I wouldn't want to hear something new to me. I would hate to be seconds away from death, totally digging a song that I had never heard, because I know I'd just get all pissy with myself for all the time I wasted trying to get the appeal of Interpol when I could have just enjoyed the last band I will ever hear.
So, in conclusion, Johnny Cash's "25 Minutes To Go" has a certain appeal.
-
Run Thru- My Morning Jacket
"oh shit run, oh shit run, oh shit run thru the ghetto..."
-
The answer to this thread is this....
THIS IS THE SONG THAT DOESN'T END, YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS...SOME PEOPLE STARTED SINGING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS, BUT THEY'LL CONTINUE SINGING IT FOREVER JUST BECAUSE THIS IS THE SONG THAT DOESN'T END, YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS...SOME PEOPLE STARTED SINGING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS, BUT THEY'LL CONTINUE SINGING IT FOREVER JUST BECAUSE THIS IS THE SONG THAT DOESN'T END, YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS...SOME PEOPLE STARTED SINGING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS, BUT THEY'LL CONTINUE SINGING IT FOREVER JUST BECAUSE THIS IS THE SONG THAT DOESN'T END, YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS...SOME PEOPLE STARTED SINGING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS, BUT THEY'LL CONTINUE SINGING IT FOREVER JUST BECAUSE THIS IS THE SONG THAT DOESN'T END, YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS...SOME PEOPLE STARTED SINGING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS, BUT THEY'LL CONTINUE SINGING IT FOREVER JUST BECAUSE
-
haha.. loooks like it ended, or she got tired of that annoying song and just shot you just because it was the song that doesn't end
-
Once i seen the thread I was kinda like shittt I really dont know any good songs.
Best I can think of would be "Always look on the brightside of life" or
Maybe that modest mouse song float on .
If I wanted it to end quick the enterlude from the new killers album.
Yep my taste in music needs some fine tweaking, dont it?
-
Would the gunman be listening as well (or gun woman since this sounds like something passive agressive enough to be done by a female)? If so I would want to be shot during the first Volley in the 1812 overature.
-
So sexism as well, huh? Awesome.
-
My music Choice was >awsome< come on...getting your brains blown out during the cannon volley of the 1812 Overature? That's fucking impressive.
-
Neutral Milk Hotel - Two-Headed Boy pt. 2
or
Bowie - We Are the Dead
but probably the former, though that makes me a poor Bowie-freak. Maybe it's just the NMH-obsessed (and the rest of E6 for that matter, but especially NMH) mood I've been in lately, but I don't think so. Even in my normal state that song turns me into marshmallows.
God, shut up about E6 already, retard.
-
I'd have to go with either:
James Brown - I'm a Soul Man
Nine Inch Nails - The Great Below
And of course, when i die, i'll need a funeral, and playing as the casket is hauled away?
Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing
-
"The Last Song Ever" by Secondhand Serenade
"Play Crack The Sky" by Brand New
"Such Great Heights" by Iron & Wine
"The Trapeze Swinger" by Iron & Wine
one of those i think. "The Last Song Ever" because of the appropriate title. "Play Crack The Sky" because of it's subject, only i wouldn't be dying at sea. and "Such Great Heights" because of it's sentimental value to me. and "The Trapeze Swinger" because it's all happy and reflective like.
yep.
-
Another good one: "Hym" by Isis. It's the last track on Oceanic, which - when you follow the stoyline to the album - is where the lead female character kills herself. It's an incredibly moving piece of music, and would fit the theme of "Last song you'll ever hear" rather well.
-
Neutral Milk Hotel - Two-Headed Boy pt. 2

Bowie - We Are the Dead
but probably the former, though that makes me a poor Bowie-freak. Maybe it's just the NMH-obsessed (and the rest of E6 for that matter, but especially NMH) mood I've been in lately, but I don't think so. Even in my normal state that song turns me into marshmallows.
God, shut up about E6 already, retard.
oh em gee, I'm in a total NMH-obsessed mood haha, I have been for about 3 weeks and their songs are just floating around in my head, my faves have to be both King of Carrot flowers pt.1, 2&3

I go through this every once in awhile, where I just listen to Jeff Mangum/NMH over and over and over. Such marvelous stuff. "Two-Headed Boy pt 2" and "Oh Comely" are probably my favorites. Maybe. "Wishful Eyes" and "My Dream Girl Don't Exist" are also amazing. love love love love love love.

Garbage - The Trick is to Keep Breathing
Heh.
Okay, so serious answer would probably be Leonard Cohen - So Long, Marianne.
Or anything by The Frames.

I've kinda given up picking my fave NMH track, but i think 'In the aeroplane over the sea' is just my default death/funeral song. i read some of its lyrics at a poetry thing when a space ship exploded
OH CRAP i'm supposed to burn 6 discs of Jeff Mangum/NMH rarities and mail them to the drummer of the Grates
like 2 months ago
i'm lazy
she said she heard somewhere they might reunite and tour with the Mountain Goats
i kinda don't believe this

That is almost certainly too good to be true. That would be too beautiful for words. There's always some silly rumor about Jeff doing something or other that he is not actually doing, though. Posts on message boards that apparently aren't actually by him, etc. Sigh.
Just in case, though, where and when did she hear it? I'd much rather be a gullible asshole than miss something that actually DOES happen. I'd sell my soul for a chance to see Mangum live in any form or grouping or context whatsoever. I'd willingly sit and watch the man pour sewage over his head and hop around chanting michael bolton lyrics reworded in iambic pentameter.

I'd like to think that because she's in a band she has some special insight into this, but I'm pretty sure she just read it on a messege board/fan site and the chances of it being true are almost nil, especially since The Mountain Goats tour all the time.
I know John Darinelle has met Jeff Mangum and they were friends for a bit... he mentions it on a messege board.

It would sure make for a marvelous show. Dammit. Life teases me.

Nice idea.
I like "Always look on the bright side of life," but I'd probably say "Here's to life" by BOTAR as long as I get to sing along.
Or the bananaphone song in the hopes my killer-to-be goes insane and flees through a nearby window.
Oh and first post - I'm new.

well if we are doing Monty Python how about "The Philosipher Song" or "The Universe Song" The former for it's reference to Decartes and the Latter for....well for being the latter.
