Two more iPod eps for you from my own private collection:

First, the end of the world:  Apocalypse Please by Muse ("this is the end, this is the end, of the world!"), Black Hole Sun by Soundgarten (an acceptable substitution would be Chris Cornell's Preaching The End of the World), (I'll Love You) Till the End of the World by Nick Cave (see previous entries for the Nick Cave Rule), It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by R.E.M. (of course), and to round it off, The End of the World by Pet Shop Boys (in which we learn that in fact, "It's just a boy or a girl/Not the end of world", which is a relief).

And then, inevitably after apocalypse, death:  We get there by knocking on Death's Door by Depeche Mode, meet The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death by the Housemartins and The Dead Girls by OMD, mourn over the gorgeous Death of a Scientist by Mull Historical Society (about the still-unexplained death of David Kelly), and have a knees-up at Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo (but not the extended remix, which sucks).  Bonus track here, naturally, is Nick Cave's Death is Not The End (which, once more, is a relief).

I must say, I have exceptional taste.
