What do you listen to when you are depressed?

Do you listen to happy stuff to try an get you out of it or just go with it and listen to something megadepressing?

just curious,.. an this has probably been done.

I'm listening to the Eternal Sunshine soundtrack, which is kind of inbetewwen.?! fuck knows. im drunk too...

edit..i hate my fucking avatorsss, blargh!

there are way too many things to list. if i were to list only one song, i would go with this by proem

you have to close your eyes and listen to it however

I usually rock the depressing route and put on Nick Drake or Elliott Smith. Then I eventually remember that things could be worse.

ska / reggae.

basically from my experience listening to IDM when already depressed really doesn't help.

Jim O'Rourke(rock/folk stuff on drag city), Broadcast, Brian Eno(four rock albums)

i don't. not only does it not help, but then certain music gets tied to a bad moment

his best albums in my opinion are 'socially inept' and 'a permanent solution'

he also recently released a scary dark ambient album 'till there's no breath'

you should definitely check them out

Burial - Untrue is ex-girlfriend music for me. Very bittersweet, takes me back to the highs and lows of a certain point in my life.

a lot of nin and coil

I totally agree with you if I exclude the ex-girlfriend part of your post.

I mostly listen to depressing ambient music when I feel depressed, by the way.

Godspeed You Black Emperor

Julie with.... through spider and I

Geogaddi followed by Music Has the Right to Children usually.

Then I go on to Hi Scores.

I'll usually listen to depressing and/or aggressive in some way. Emotional hardcore. Like right now. Boilermaker. And I just got back from seeing Sunny Day Real Estate.

I wish I was one of those people that would put on something upbeat when I felt depressed, so I could get out of the funk faster.

Acidburp - The End.

Take that and stick it in your depression asshole.

Fuck those people. You got to enhance your feelings to understand them, not ignore/cover them.
