radiohead- exit music
joy division- ceremony

No, that would be right in line with the sort of thing that someone from one of these music-fan boards would do.OMG, I think I hurt myself. You want them to drop the casket?

This such a sick subject. Solipcistic. Dark arrogance. Ingrown. Morbid. Of course, I've played this game regularly for decades, although lately it's been less funny as some peers actually have heartattacks, cancer, and die. My partner very patiently responds with neutrality when I hear a song and say "oh, I want this at my funeral."

Ellington/Strayhorn – “blood count”
Samuel Barber – “adagio for strings” ( wanted this before princess grace)
Van Morrison – “across the bridge where angels dwell”
Van Morrison/Chieftains – “carrickfergus”
Prefab Sprout – “mercy”

And of course… Replacments - “swingin’ party”

Ain't gonna matter, but a set like this:

Songs: Ohia~ Riding With The Ghost
Waterboys~ The Stolen Child
Van Morrison~ Call Me Up In Dreamland
Damon & Naomi with Ghost~ Tanka
Pearls Before Swine~ A Life
Richard Thompson~ Al Bowlly's In Heaven
John Prine~ Please Don't Bury Me
Dylan~ Forever Young

At my funeral (or rather, at the after party), every guest would have to choose a song from my record collection and play it.


This was funny at first, but then I really started picturing it in my mind, and now it's fucking hilarious.

Also I want Waldorf & Statler critiquing the funeral.

One of the more blatant songs one could use would be Smog's "Dress Sexy At My Funeral"

my grandfather actually had that at his funeral. by far the best musical experience i've ever had at one of those.
