Ok let’s crowdsource this shit. I know there’s some #discworld nerds on here. I want to make a playlist where I have one song for each book in the series. Eg Thief of Time is obviously Clocks by Coldplay, Pyramids is Walk Like An Egyptian, Small Gods is Losing My Religion. Songs should be bangers and also thematically appropriate. (I have a list for a lot of them, I’ll post it after this has had a chance to make the rounds.) Aaaaand: go. Mastodon do your thing. #TerryPratchett #music #boostsWelcome #discworld #bookstodon

The Last Continent is a toss up between I Will Survive and the track from Fury Road that makes you want to fight god. https://youtu.be/RYA1X3NBB5s Or possibly both. I make the rules.

@swachter @KarenDorman Soul Music has Blues Brothers references so maybe their version of Soul Man, unless it’s too on the nose.
