Songs for The Uninhabitable Earth Soundtrack
I'm a little ashamed to admit that it took reading David Wallace-Wells' book, The Uninhabitable Earth two years ago to really send me spiraling into a doom loop about the environment (as I should have been residing in that doom loop a lot longer). While a doom loop may, understandably, have negative connotations, I think it's kind of a necessary space if it propels climate activism and actions, however small, to reduce carbon emissions. Now I do realize that making a compilation of environmental songs does nothing to improve the environment, but.....it was kind of oddly therapeutic for me and maybe they can use some of the more obscure cuts when they're making the anthology series about the book. (I just found out about this.)

Tom Waits. The Earth Died Screaming!
@apothecary-and-Co,
I will definitely include that one if I ever do Volume 2. Or if I ever do a broader apocalyptic theme compilation....
best,
Ish
