Rest In Peace, Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut, author of Slaughterhouse-Five, amongst others, passed away last night. You might be wondering what that has to do with a music blog, but Vonnegut was a big music fan. In fact, he wrote the following in his last work:
If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music.
And so in honor of the late great writer, I've put together a compilation based on his writing and what I've heard of his life experiences. It's a mostly alt-metal tracklist with the last song from a genre close to Vonnegut's heart: jazz. Rest in peace, Kurt Vonnegut.

Vonnegut was a great writer and those are some great songs to go along with it. But you might want to edit that a little. The artists are switched for A Warm Place and Right In Two. Just so you know.
Ah oversight - put it together as I was headed out the door. Thanks for pointing that out!
Nice list. Not immediately the stuff I'd normally listen to, but they're definitely appropriate. Thanks for the heads up.
You made good choices. :)
