Just for our own amusement, Eric and I have created our own personal "Music for the Long Emergency" Mix album, and we offer up our playlist for your own amusement. Volume two is coming shortly, since we ran out of space before we could put all the fun stuff we wanted on. The goal was maximum amusement value, maximum irony and maximum strange juxtapositions. We're sure we're missing things, since we mostly pulled stuff out of our own collections, so feel free to suggest things, although anyone who mentions REM or Hootie will be emotionally abused.
