It's 4 in the morning...

Well, clearly its not, but that's the best time to listen to depressing songs. The Observer Music Monthly is looking for some suggestions. Mine are:

Hüsker Dü - Hardly Getting Over It
Manics - Motorcycle Emptiness
R.E.M. - Sweetness Follows
The Boo Radleys - Upon 9th & Fairchild
American Music Club - Why Won't You Stay
Electronic - Getting Away With It.

Oooh, I'm welling up already. Bring out the Mazzy Star... And no Leonard Cohen yet. Hmmm.

One would hope someone has the wit to suggest Oasis' 'Sad Song'.
