I think today is the day my ipod decided I needed to hear nothing but really, really sad songs I haven't heard in a million years. I obviously needed to hear some songs from Beck's "Sea Change" (arguably the saddest record ever recorded), followed by a little Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (whose "Ease Down the Road" is a strong contender for that title). And toss in some Cat Power while you're at it! Just to mix it up, maybe some Pinback--still depressing as all hell, but a little more rockin. I forgot I had such a vast collection of sad bastard music.

I guess that's a good sign--it's been such a long time since I've wanted to listen to all my sad bastard music, I forgot I had it!
