A playlist for the Chilean Miners


With the world glued to their television, computer screens, stats broke out that over a billion people tuned in to watch coverage of the 33 miners 70 hour rescue mission. I'm not ebven sure how many people watched the World Cup. Their was  a frenzy of ppl sending dedications to the miners, homemade well wishing video and music. Top of my head, I thought of a 3 track playlist the miners would have dreaded to hear on their way up.




Number 3:


Paul Johnson - Get Get Down

This track says "Oh Shit," but in a an upbeat way!


Number 2:


Mary J. Blige - I'm Goin' Down

Across all language barriers Mary's, voice lets you know that there's nothing to be upbeat about.


Number 1:




Holy shit!!!! That distorted bass synth, in the opening bars, lets you know some ominous shit is coming your way."What? his opening line is you know they gonna bring it down now?" seriously, deeper underground, those other songs i could've chalked down to pure coincidence, but this is about my current situation, Holy Shit, get me out this fuckin cage!!!

That is the inner monologue of a Chilean miner, or atleast that's what it would sound like if they understood english pop music.
