Playlist for 5-19-11 (Rapture edition)

Hey folks,

So, to quote an excellent band, "the preacher-man says it's the end of time." In light of the imminent apocalypse, I decided to do a radio show of end-of-the-world tunes for you. And let it be known that if the world actually does end on Saturday, I loved playing songs for you on the radio all these years. If it doesn't end, I still loved doing that, but we should also go get a beer and make out.
