    Listen To Nick Cave's End Of The World Mixtape

    Enjoy a taste indie god Nick Cave's musical compilation for the post apocalyptic move The Road. The BBC did a small special on Cormac McCarthy's adaptation onto the big screen, dubbing bits from his Oprah interview and here and there. But the best part: about 3:30 into the package, they debut some of Nick Cave's soundtrack for the movie. It's hauntingly beautiful and a bit melancholy, which will fit in quite nicely with the whole, "the world is a burned out shell of nothing and we're all going to die" theme from the movie. Thanks to Quiet Earth for finding this gem. [BBC]
