Some time ago I posted a pair of playlists. One was insufferably joyous. One was insufferably morose. These two lists, I supposed, complemented each other. Were polar opposites.
I was wrong.
Like quarks' colour charge, this isn't a two-poled comparison.
There is a third list.
A list so powerful that it should only be used in the most dire of circumstances, a list which is neither upbeat nor sad, but just plain awesome.
These are the songs to slay zombies to. These are the songs to wear sunglasses to. These are songs to outrun the apocalypse to.
