Tom from (500) Days would be proud

maybe it was the fact that today was overcast with a hint of dust storm, or maybe it was the fact that it is supposed to be snowy/rainy tomorrow, or some other melancholic scenario involving weather. whatever the reason, today i listened to a very awesome, melancholy playlist filled with the angst riddenest groups out there. my day started out with a little kalai, who isn't very depressing at all, but quickly moved on from there. here is my playlist from today:

1. Michael Hedges - Aerial Boundaries (the whole album)
2. The Cure - Boys Don't Cry (i blame this one on claire)
3. The Cure - Close to Me
4. The Smiths - How Soon is Now?
5. Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
6. Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
7. Bloc Party - Banquet
8. Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime
9. Radiohead - Paranoid Android
10. Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
11. The Cure - Love Song
12. The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It
13. The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
14. David Bowie - Heroes
15. Radiohead - All I Need
16. INXS - I Need You Tonight
17. Coldplay - Trouble
18. Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
19. Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma (k, so this one doesn't fit the motif, but what the hey)
20. The Shins - New Slang
21. Talking Heads - Burning Down the House
22. The Smiths - This Charming Man
23. Feist - My Moon My Man
24. The Cure - Lullaby
25. The Arcade Fire - Rebellion(Lies) (i can't listen to more than a few of arcade fire's songs at a time, but sometimes they hit the spot)
26. Smashing Pumpkins - Today
27. David Bowie - Life on Mars?

the best part was, i wasn't depressed or emotional about it, i just really enjoyed it.
