This is for when you have nothing to do, nowhere to go, and No one to talk to. Come on. It's cold outside. Just go into your neighborhood pub and everything will be alright. Untill you start thinking. And feeling sorry for yourself.
On a side note- These are all songs I've seen/played on a jukebox in bars. I wanted this to be music you would really hear at these places. This should be played on repeat untill they cut you off.

| 2 | David Bowie : Rock 'n' Roll With Me |
|
This is supposed to remind you of fun times past, and in turn make you cry and miss "the old days". I guess it would only work if you listened to DIAMOND DOGS, and/or had fun in "the old days".

| 4 | The Greenhornes : There is an End |
|
This is one of those "we play 60's/70's/80's/90's music bands that actually sound genuinely like they are from the time that they are retro-izing back to. Something about this song reminds me of early STONES.

| 5 | Modest Mouse : Life Like Weeds |
|
When you are drunk alone, this song feels like it applies to you and I'm not sure why. It's too bad that this band started to get grouped into the whole EMO/Indie Chick/Death Cab,Shins,Graden State/shit music thing because they have some truly great tunes and a wide variety of sounds. This album in particular is a favorite of mine.

I wanted to do Johnny Cash's Cover of this, but since I already have the Man in Black on this mix, I figured I'd put the original up. It's a great tune either way.

This reminds me of every time I land in a new place. I wish I lived where it was cold with no job so I could do this sort of thing again. On the piss on a weekday morning. Brill.
