Notes: 'Gazing into the abyss' is really just a fancy way of saying 'songs about death', and this theme was really just an excuse for me to play Bob Dylan's 1962 debut album. Still, I think it's a great theme. Bob Dylan's remarkable debut album is different from the rest of his material, and he embodies a much different persona than the folk singer who wrote songs like The Times They Are A-Changin' and Blowing In The Wind. On his debut album, Bob Dylan sounds possessed, singing mostly covers of old blues and folk songs about death, with a violent intensity and the wailing of a banshee. What people say about Robert Johnson, having sold his soul to the devil and all, is what I've always felt about Bob Dylan's debut album, and it was my pleasure to play it on my radio show.

As you can see, I took advantage of the theme to play the incredible 'east hastings' by 'godspeed you! black emperor', which was featured in the movie 28 Days Later and is the perfect instrumental accompaniment to the aftermath of the end of the world, when you wake up and find out that everyone else is gone, and the whole world has become silent. It's not classic rock, but hey, that's why I'm the DJ. In fact, a couple of guys were working in the other room when I played that song, and one of them (I think it was Jason) came in and told me he was surprised I was playing the song because he didn't think anyone else knew of that band!
