Twenty-five most depressing songs:
They bring the snark:
Clocking in at over seven minutes, Total Eclipse is Wagner's Ring Cycle without the funny hats; the equivalent of an opera company pelting you with copies of Anne Rice novels.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Ahahahaha!!! That's a perfect description!

OMG do you remember the video for it? With Bonnie Tyler as the school marm obsesssed with the teenaged boys with glowing eyes? CREEEEPEEEE
I did a cover of it recently for this 80s night thing. The lyrics are just so, so, so bad.
That is one of my favorite videos ever, ever. It's like early age of video "what cool shit have we ever wanted to film" thrown together with shots of Bonnie Tyler wailing.
It's super craxy crazy. My friend who accompanied me on the song found it in an old collection of videos he'd taped off of the tv many, many years ago.
The Downward Spiral, the perfect album to crank while you're tossing live hamsters into a blender.
I am in love with this. Too many people overlook appropriate musical accomaniment to the torture and mutilation of small mammals.
Also, I am listening to the Johnny Cash version of "Hurt" right now, AIFG.
A few S-K highlights:
# Covered Danzig's Mother. It fucking rocked.
Whoa. Really want this bootleg.
Truly you do. And if you find it, remember your old pal here.
I am in Boston (with no hope of Free Time, sadly) but I got to run into Newbury Comix tonight and thought fondly of all you people who always talk about the cool stuff they buy there.
I bought two Smiths CDs.
