A Post Apocalyptic Post Rock Playlist

The Lonely Road

School has finally become a distant thought and summer has been warmly embraced. The tug of war over my so called free timed has ceased and activities once shrugged off now seem feasible. Once the debt to my biological sleep debt is repaid I will indulge in my guilty pleasure of wondering the waste. Nothing beats the soft click of a Geiger counter as you rummage through a desk inside of an abandoned school left baron after a nuclear winter. Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas will always be some of my favorite games to come out this generation of gaming and I consider both games timeless. Yes, both games have been criticized for being laced with glitches but the good far outweighs the bad. When you are presented a nuclear apocalyptic wasteland full of monsters, bloodthirsty bandits, and people living in villages built on grains of humanity you can forgive Bethesda Softworks for a few glitches. However that is not the reasoning behind this blog. Seeing the blog hasn’t gotten a new music playlist in awhile I decided to throw up a post rock playlist I throw on when I roam the waste.

• Gregor Samsa: Young and Old
• Explosions In The Sky: Remember Me as a Time of Day
• Red Sparrows: We Stood Transfixed In Blank Devotion As Our Leader Spoke To Us, Looking Down On Our Mute Faces With A Great, Raging, And Unseeing Eye. 
• Mogwai: Sine Wave
• This Will Destroy You: There Are Some Remedies Worse Than the Disease
• Trentemøller: Take Me Into Your Skin
• Sigur Rós: Samskeyti (Acoustic)
• God Is An Astronaut: Fragile 
• Explosions In The Sky: Let Me Back In
• Godspeed You Black Emperor: Gathering Storms
• Mogwai: Ratts of The Capital
•  Helios: Hope Valley Hill
• Signal Hill: Los Federales
• Joy Wants Eternity: From Embrace to Embrace
• Gifts From Enola: Screaming At Anything That Moved 
• Followed By Ghosts: Clear Blue Sky
• If These Trees Could Talk: Malabar Front
• Red Sparrows: Millions Starved And We Became Skinnier And Skinnier, While Our Leaders Became Fatter And Fatter.

You won't find many lyrics in these song but that is what makes them perfect to get lost in. Whether you are playing a little Fallout or just looking to get into a little post rock, I hope you enjoy the playlist.

Until next time......

Happy Hunting
