It’s a macabre topic for a gloomy winter morn’ but if you haven’t already done so, isn’t it time you tackled the thorny issue of soundtracking your own funeral? Having curated the ultimate iPod library, why risk shuffling off to summat howlingly inappropriate selected by your friendly, local undertaker? Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On will appall your cred congregation. Check out music site wwww.aux.tv for inspiration. Even if 80s Swedish rockers Europe’s karaoke anthem doesn’t make their Final Countdown, old chestnut My Way - the Pistols preferred to Sinatra, natch - does. Other dead certs include Queens of the Stone Age’s Long Slow Goodbye, the Pixies’ Monkey Gone To Heaven and, strictly for the post-modern and deeply ironic corpse, the Spice Girls’ Goodbye. Top send-off is Joe Strummer’s Redemption Song although I’m tending towards Jim Morrison’s Light My Fire for when the crem' Doors finally slide open. How about Green Day’s Good Riddance, you say? Cheeky!
