Thirty seconds and a one-way ride

[sovay]

These have all been in my head recently. Some music for a really bad mood.

Against Me, "Dead Friend"

How could I not have guessed
She would fall in love with the first boy she kissed in a casket?

Arcade Fire, "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)"

And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness
Someone please cut the lights

Bastille, "Bloody Shirt (To Kill a King)"

Get out and get gone
This town is only going to get worse

Classic Ruins, "1+1<2"

One and one adds up to less than two

Concrete Blonde, "Heal It Up"

Playing with knives, we were cut close to home

Hole, "Jennifer's Body"

He keeps you in a box by the bed
Alive, but just barely

La Peste, "Better Off Dead"

You better keep your hands off her
Your hands'll turn red
You'd be better off dead

Mister Heavenly, "Bronx Sniper"

And I shot you down
You never had a chance in hell
And I shot you down
And I felt no remorse

O Positive, "With You"

Put a rope around my neck
Give me a label, get me sick
I could love you
It's a suicide to choose

Oh, Rose, "Prom"

But you're not summing up things with a black heart
You know something's there, but you're not sure what

PJ Harvey, "Rid of Me"

Don't you wish you never, never met her?

The Sisters of Mercy, "Temple of Love"

You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another, but still the same
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside

Shriekback, "Nemesis"

No one move a muscle when the dead come home

Splashdown, "Ironspy"

Someone, stop my hands from shaking
Iron in my spine's conducting lightning

The Smiths, "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out"

Driving in your car, I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, no, I haven't got one

The Verlaines, "Heavy 33"

I'm striving to coax or wrench you, I can't even reach you
You're starving for something—I've got nothing to feed you

The Verve, "Weeping Willow"

It was in our hands from six to ten
It slipped right out again

Seriously, it's been like Depresso Café around here.

Nice playlist. I think Burma covered "30 Seconds," along with The flipside "Heart of Darkness."

I was listening to "Heart of Darkness" at one point as I was putting this list together. I don't believe I own Burma's "30 Seconds Over Tokyo," but I'll look for it when I get my computer back.

Our mutually known authority on all things Burma weighs in on "30 Seconds":

"Not to my knowledge. And I believe 30SOT was the A side -- naturally, Burma's going to cover the B!"

Ah, well. I would totally have listened to it if it existed.

(I got "Heart of Darkness" off The Horrible Truth About Burma.)
