Make sure to hide your valuables, show loved ones how much you care, and get on good terms with the big guy upstairs. Didn’t you hear? Tomorrow, May 21, 2011, is “The Rapture.” That’s this Saturday. Apparently in layman’s terms, that means we’re all going to die, the world’s going to end, and it’s really going to suck. We’re not making this stuff up.
Now how much we actually believe that this is actually happening this Saturday is another story. Some people are going to be living this weekend up as if it were their last (it very well may be), and well, some people are going to go cry over the glass potentially being half empty. Hey, we can’t blame ’em.
We love you, loyal County Grind Readers. We really do. We don’t want to see you go. But just in case we made you a mixtape. Happy songs, sad songs, songs for the apocalypse — we left (hardly) any stone unturned. Check them out after the jump.
