Caught Up in the Rapture



This postcard was posted recently via Laughing Squid, and apparently was the first artistic depiction of the Rapture just outside of downtown Dallas circa 1980. I have no opinion on the matter, I just found this piece to be actually kind of amazing.


Anika did a rather amazing cover of Skeeter Davis' "End of the World" for her self-titled debut back in October. But the original still holds true after all these years. So sweet, so melodic, and so heartfelt...



And I can't help but include the Anika version. She blew me away with this scathing version. But so does all of her unusual takes on classics such as this.
