You people are weird. The Cure, Slint or Arab Strap GIVE YOU POWER WHEN YOU'RE DOWN?!
When I'm down, I listen to Mr Quintron and his Miss Pussycat and shake some bootay. Yes.

I agree, I like listening to absurd (in a postive way) music when I'm feeling down as well.

Here is a picture of the elusive Mr. Quintron



Did you know Mr. Quintron and Miss Pussycat got married without ever knowing either's real name .

I'm a big fan of the Hammond Organ.

Anyhow, here are a couple of albums that I enjoy to cheer me up.

Following the rather 'unqiue trend of Mr. Quintron, is Giles Giles Fripp's 'The Cheerful Insanity of Giles Giles & Fripp'

Just look at the cover of the album, it just has to cheer you up!

when i was younger and still in my teens i used to listen to a lot of soundgarden when i was feeling down and out... playing my guitar along to badmotorfinger always brightened my mood...

now that i'm older i find myself listening to more melancholy music when i'm feeling glum... stuff like mazzy star... cat power... portishead

but if there's a little anger with my down then i dig out the faith no more / mr. bungle stuff hehe hearing the gentle art of making enemies or merry go bye bye always make me a little happier on the inside

Lately I find myself listening to Porcupine Tree and Rush when I'm down. I don't know why it helps, maybe just the fact I can sort of...forget everything else.

put on some Manowar and I'll tear someon's head off. Many a boozing feat have I accomplished after listening to Manowar.

Geoff, that's hilarious. I love Mr Quintron, and that picture of him behind the palm is just adorable. Haha! Haha!

here is another pitcure of Mr Quintron, this time with Miss Pussycat.

The Beatkes Music And Some Doors

When im depressed i go for really depressing stuff as well, i listen to Mogwai when im down sometimes. Anything but the most miserable music sounds really corny when im down.

'You've Got a Friend' or 'Fire and Rain' by James Taylor always does the trick.
