Morty's Corner: Top 10 Songs for December 21, 2012

Okay, before planet Earth is thrown into a giant, gaping, solar black hole, or before earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes all fall down on us at once, or before Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber reveal themselves as the Anti-Christess and the Anti-Christ, I figured a blog post about a playlist with music referencing the end of the world would be fitting.

These songs all lyrically discuss the end of the world in some way, shape, or form, but none of them do so in a very depressing manor; which makes them kind of fun to listen to. I have YouTube videos attached to each one of them so while you are partying your asses off tomorrow night, you will have a playlist to at least say you checked out before it's all over.

**RATIONAL DISCLAIMER** Just for the people on Doomsday Preppers, Mayan decedents, John Cusack, or any other goofball who actually thinks Friday is the end of the world: I'M KIDDING. If I actually believed in this crap then anything I have ever said about my belief system is a lie. Let's just make one thing crystal clear, for a brief moment: the people who predicted this day (the Mayans) cannibalized each other to death centuries ago. The only people left with any relation are distant relatives. Are you really going to trust a bunch of dope smoking cannibals? C'mon, man.

With that "rational disclaimer" out of the way, now we can get back to the fun stuff. You know, pretending. Here are some songs I think you should play during your End of the World Party tomorrow night. Some you'll enjoy, some you won't, but it doesn't matter much to me because on Friday all technology will be reduced to ruble and we'll have to live like Viggo Mortensen and his kid did in The Road (what a shitty movie). Here you go:
