"Young" & "Old" Songs

Here's something new – well, not really. It's another "Opposites" music post. But I've never done these particular opposites before, so there ya go. Sorry, One Direction fans – you won't find the "Live While We're Young" video here. Mainly because the song, despite the fact that it has more than 250 million views on YouTube, is fairly horrible. In this blogger's opinion, at least. Hopefully you'll enjoy the good songs that are collected here, though.  ~  JH

A Soundtrack For The End Of The World

Well, today's the day. The day – according to the ancient Mayan civilization and Internet conspiracy theorists – that the world is going to end. Now, I don't believe for one second that that's actually going to happen (not today at least). But just for the sake of argument, and so won't I be accused of ignoring it altogether, here's a collection of 21 songs about the end of the world. Enjoy?  ~  JH
