Word of Mouth's "End of the World" Playlist

Like any major life event, the annihilation of life as we know it deserves a soundtrack.  It’s easy to decide what to listen to when the four horsemen of the apocalypse are coming around the bend…So, for everybody hosting an “end of the world party” in the next 48 hours, we compiled a few suggestions to help you kick out the jams one final time.  

These songs don’t have to be about the apocalypse, they don’t have to follow any specific logic… but of course, each of us has our own reasons for picking the songs that we did, so without further ado...
