FNX final day lineup; last song guesses?

David Bowie's "Changes" is the next to last song on the "live" portion of "the final days" of WFNX at 6:57pm ET on Fri. 7/20/12.

The Cure "Let's Go To Bed" ends it at 7:02pm after a farewell from Neil.

After a one minute pause, the automated playlist kicked in with a top of hour ID followed by Franz Ferdinand's "No You Girls".
The automated music ends (and Clear Channel takes over) on Sunday night/Monday morning 7/22-23/12 at midnight.
Another "last song" will play - likely without fanfare or any particular planning....although some interesting choices could creep onto the playlist.

The last hour of WFNX with Neil Robert:

Let's Go to Bed The Cure 7:04pm
Changes David Bowie 6:59pm
Gloria Patti Smith 6:55pm
Gigantic Pixies 6:51pm
Down by the Water PJ Harvey 6:48pm
Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) The Offspring 6:45pm
TALK ABOUT LOVE O POSITIVE 6:40pm
Molly's Lips Nirvana 6:38pm
It's a Shame About Ray The Lemonheads 6:34pm
What Does Sex Mean to Me? Human Sexual Response 6:30pm
Lazy Eye Silversun Pickups 6:17pm
NATURAL ONE FOLK IMPLOSION 6:15pm
Hey Man, Nice Shot Filter 6:10pm
Blue Monday New Order 6:06pm
Los Angeles Frank Black 6:02pm
Last Goodbye Jeff Buckley 5:58pm
 
If we're talking the FINAL "Final" OverTheAir song ;) , then my money is on "I Still Believe" by Frank Turner, which has been the official WFNX anthem and their battlecry since the sale was announced.

I still think it'll be "Let's Go To Bed". I was driving home from work around 11pm and pulled up in my front of my house and what happened to be playing in the automated wfnx.com plug stream? "Let's Go To Bed."

Though, if I had my way and could sneak into the 2nd floor of 25 Exchange St in downtown Lynn and get my hands on the NexGen, this is how I'd set up the final hours in this automated stream:

Jeff Buckley - "Yard of Blonde Girls" (Song was mostly written by Audrey Clark and Lori Kramer who are Julie Kramer's sisters about the suicide of one their friends)
Jeff Buckley - "Last Goodbye"
David Bowie - "Changes"
The Ramones - "We Want the Airwaves"
Parlour Bells - "Airwaves" (Song by local Boston band about the demise of WFNX)
Frank Turner - "I Still Believe"
The Cure - "Let's Go To Bed" (Twas the first song and should be the last song)

Followed by some stunting from the nearly 30 7-1/2" reels of celebrity IDs, final station ID under the WFNX calls, cut to static and on comes WHBA.
