[[In a few hours, at the start of the winter solstice, some people on our troubled
planet may be relieved to find out that the so-called 12.21.12 doomsday prophecies,
misinterpreted from translations of the Mayan calendar, did not come true.

It’s been the most anticipated, talked about and hyped doomsday prophecy in the 
history of mankind – so much so that even a major Hollywood film ‘2012’ (the gold
standard for terrible, cliche-filled Hollywood movie-making) was made.

The film is perhaps best known for having more ‘yeah right’ moments than any other
film of recent memory – a dark comedy of just how many millions of dollars Hollywood
can waste to turn out a seriously bad action-packed movie.

Even Woody Harrelson probably doesn’t want to talk about it – reefed up or not.

That said, if it is going to the end of the world, we’re going out with a playlist,
of course – with appropriate songs from REM, Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, The 
Hives, The Strokes, AC/DC, The Shins, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and many others
in the Spotify playlist below, including one song that doesn’t necessarily fit in
with the others – do you know which one it is?

So, if we don’t get to share music with you again after this day, the apocalypse,
it’s been a great five years. As Michael Stipe of REM famously sang: “It’s the end
of the world/as we know it/and I feel fine.”
