Sonic Overload 5/16/11

 Are you ready for Judgment Day? Ready for The Rapture? According to some people, this weekend is the time, May 21, 2011. The righteous will be “saved,” the rest of us are fucked. Or something like that. Perhaps this really is the last Sonic Overload. I’ve tried to put together something memorable and selected some special songs for the occasion. See you next week—I hope!
