What a person would choose to listen to on their way to the big lights out says a lot about them: whether they’re a lighthearted, nostalgic, happy-go-lucky, hateful or melodramatic person, whether they take this life too seriously or the idea of their own death not seriously enough.
Or maybe they just absolutely love the shit out of ‘Holiday Road’ by Lindsey Buckingham and want to make sure they stock up on enough echoes of the chorus to last them for eternity, whatever their destination.
You get the idea.
Anyway, here are some selections made by artists that have appeared on Sleep Never:
1. ?Pure Imagination? ? Willy Wonka (Erin Fein, Headlights)
2. ?Ambulance vs. Ambulance? ? The Blood Brothers (Lillica Libertine)

10. ? The Sound of the Sinners? ? The Clash (Chris K., Sleep Never)
“THIS HIPSTER SHIT HAS GOTTA GO” - TOMMIE SUNSHINE
Homecoming ‘08: Went back to Chicago for a lovely/ugly night with Tommie Sunshine at the Smart Bar.
We got down to business in a shady hotel room before the show, covered everything from Fellini to Vietnam, and yet somehow my favorite ended up being the “Love and Sobriety” episode.
