Mayhem’s 12 Days of Christmas posts have reached day 4. In case you missed the first three posts that featured the Apocalypse Disco, Radiohead and Black Box Recorder this years theme is very dark and not very festive. But with all the crap in the world at the moment much of it driven by Dementia Don in the White House I thought I would celebrate Chrimbo this year with songs about the end of the world. Yeah, kind of depressing of course, but these are twelve fabulous tracks and whatever happens music will always accompany me wherever I go, even if that is into the heart of the forthcoming (???) Armageddon!
Today’s song is the wonderfully titled “Dying Like Some Dinosaurs” by Shrub from their 2013 album, ‘Highceratops.’ The band are from Columbus, Ohio they formed in 2010 when founding member software developer Jay “Shrub” Shawberry who was a student at Bowling Green State University, with his love for reggae and hip-hop, started rapping and producing music in his own basement the year before and wanted to go further in the music industry under his “Shrub Project”. The band name is derived from a nickname Shawberry’s older brother got in college because their last name sounds like “shrubbery” when you’re feeling tipsy, so it’s not from marijuana like many fans think. But make sure you roll yourself a big doobie to take you through the end of the world!
