Since the school doesn’t seem to be doing much to protect us all from this terrible storm apart from moving us in early, I’ve decided to do my part by compiling some sick tunes to get you prepared for Irene.

________________________________

Go Outside — Cults

A bubbly track from Cults debut LP released earlier this Summer. But seriously, stay inside and board up your windows.

Fallout — Neon Indian

From Neon Indian’s forthcoming sophomore album due out Sept. 13.

Til the World Ends (Salem Remix) — Britney Spears

A dark, foreboding remix that puts the song in a whole new light, incorporating some horror-movie esque screams and a mix that sounds as if it’s submerged in water like we will all soon be. Keep on dancing ’till the world ends.

Year of Silence — Crystal Castles

From their second self-titled album, released last year, this track samples Sigur Rós’s “Inní mér syngur vitleysingur” to create a post-apocalyptic soundscape dashed with bits of hope (which is exactly what a post-Irene Long Island will become).
