What better way to cheer oneself up than listening to Damien Rice. Someone hide all the sharp objects, quick.

Oh my--yes, not the happiest music in the world. I used to feel the same way about Morrissey (I really think he just needed a cheeseburger and laid), and Tracey Chapman, (I used to pretend to hang myself whenever "Fast Cars" was playing. )

When I was morose last, and had the song "Say Something" by A Great Big World stuck in my head, every time I would start humming it (and bawling) I would make myself sing "I'm Walking on Sunshine" which I absolutely hate, but cracks me up every time.

pfft, morrissey likely never needed help getting laid. c'mon, those looks & the perpetual brooding?

Say Something is class. Oh man that song is haunting.

Fast Car is horrifying and beautiful all at once.

But Damien Rice is the king of misery. And I love him for it.

Ah yes. The Golden Age of Lit.

But Ed, my dear, part of his schtick was that he was celibate and a vegetarian--hence the laid and cheeseburger. I thought he would have been much cheerier.
Hell, I know I would be much cheerier with those two things right about now.

Say Something is gorgeous, but when you have a broken heart, it's like a punch in the gut--and it just wouldn't leave me in peace for 5 min. Hence Walking on Sunshine was self defense!

Agreed on the Rice-man and I think he is great. My younger brother knew the minute he got in my car what was up, when I was going through my divorce. I had a mix cd with Damien Rice, Ingrid Michaelson, A Fine Frenzy, Bonnie Rait, Cheryl Crow, and many more who can make you want to drive the car straight off a cliff.

 

[Saucyminx]

I've never heard Say Something before, but now that I have I'm going to find the nearest sturdy beam from which to hang my rope. Fuck.

Put down that there rope missy.

Every time I hear it in the car, I end up looking like I've been on a meth binge. You would think, I'd be smart enough to just turn it off at this point, but so far no, not so much. Same with Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy, or Stand Where I Stood by Missy Higgins. They all make me resemble a red eyed skink.

My kryptonite during my divorce was Bonnie Raitt-- "Can't Make you Love me." Still chokes me up and I don't even like twang.

 

[wicked woman]

Ah yes. The Golden Age of Lit.

Not to offend the current players, but yup.

 

[silverwhisper]

you know...as someone who's part of the old guard, i don't think it's fair to characterize those days as a "golden age" because it does a disservice to newer members of this community.

i made some great friends in that time and will always miss the ones who departed for whatever reason, but that's a past that was never experienced by the guys who are active now and it's about as relevant to them as last week's newspaper, for those who remember what those are.

while i miss that crowd and those times, i'm happy to meet some newer friends, too.

so bg, ww: you know i love ya, but right now is their golden age. let's not go pissing on it, OK? :>

Wow--that thread is by a chick?

 

[NippleMuncher]

I am proud of us for showing some restraint. I mean, when that thread pops up I can't help but click; it's a freak show. But so far, no bites. Go us! (Nipple Muncher, Emerson, this is primarily directed to you.)

Not sure which thread you are referring to, there are several at the moment to be avoided, probably the worst is "I love boobies more than vajayjay", quickly followed by whatever QuantumJumping is going on about.

Where are all the fun threads? Where are all the decent questions?

 

[NightL]

Oh YES!!!

 

[Saucyminx]

Hahaha "Dump Cakes. Dump Dinner" Really? They couldn't come up with a better name?

Looks like someone took a dump--probably tastes very similar.

Yes I realize I'm snickering like a 10 year old. I can't help it. I need some giggles.

People were waxing poetic about the golden age of HT when you and I were n00bs, too.

All I can say is that I've classed up this shithole. I'll call it the diamond era of Lit.
