I likes me some excessively melodramatic folk. Sometimes. I likewise liked Harold as well as Maude. one of the biggest films ever about what everybody who listens to feline Stevens wishes to do: attempt suicide.
1. Don’t Be Shy-Pearl Jam
2. Trouble-Pearl Jam. An Eddie Vedder emoting twofer!
3. right here Comes My Baby-Yo La Tengo. From their fantastic “Fakebook” album.
4. dad as well as Son-Leigh Nash. When I was in college, I was listening to this tune over as well as over. I was massively depressed, as well as I couldn’t figure out where he “had to go” to. My roommate came in as well as saw me sitting in the dark hitting rewind on the tape deck, as well as I asked him: “Where is this man going?” My sadistic as well as dry roommate pondered for a few moments, as well as then said: “He’s going to die.” I don’t believe he’s best anymore, however at the time death seemed like a fantastic idea. OH! The joys of heroin!
5. If You want To Sing Out-Ghost Mice. A extremely unusual singalong.
6. Trouble-Kristin Hersh (of throwing Muses). I liked loved loved! this band! as well as Kristin’s solo work is nothing to sneeze at, either.
7. Mr. Brownstone (Guns N’ Roses) & crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne) & The Wind (Cat Stevens)-Tenacious D. Jack Black singing Cat.
8. Trouble-Elliot Smith. The only singer/songwriter much more depressing than Cat!
9. Plastic Jesus/Where Do the kids Play-Jack Johnson
10. peace Train-Gary Jules. keep in mind exactly how Gary turned Tears For Fears’ funeral dirge “Mad World” into a slow-burning, mystical somewhat-less-depressing pop tune that instead of making you want to die, it just made you want to hit yourself in the deal with with a shovel? (See the soundtrack to Donnie Darko.) Well, now he takes the most optimistic, upbeat feline Stevens chant as well as turns it into a slow-burning, mystical somewhat-less-depressing pop tune that instead of making you want to die, it just made you want to hit yourself in the deal with with a shovel. fantastic job!
11. Wild World-Matt Nathanson.
