rock and roll wisdom

"When you're depressed, hard work is the cure. The next time you're depressed, go out into the back yard and dig a 6 foot hole. But don't jump in just yet." Robert Pollard, (Guided by Voices, Boston Spaceships etc etc)

Happy Mix Tape

When you are depressed, feeling blue etc etc one idea to help take your mind of your troubles is to make a mix cd of happy songs. I suggested this to a musically competent client the other day. Here is what she burned:
1. Arcade Fire No Cars Go
2. David Bowie Moonage Daydream
3. The Dead Weather Cut Like a Buffalo
4. Franz Ferdinand Jacqueline
5. Hot Hot Heat Middle of Nowhere
6. How I Became the Bomb A Formal Occasion
7. MGMT Electric Feel
8. Modest Mouse Parting of the sensory
9. Noisettes I we
10. Pheonix 1901
11. Prince Litte Red Corvette
12. Rooney Shakin
13. Spoon Don't Make me a Target
14. The Strokes Juice Box
15. The White Stripes Fell in love with a Girl

Try it out, see if it helps.
