Dark Meat 175: Listening On Headphones Are You?

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

I am currently unattached. In the last month three of my friends broke up with their mates. Everybody I know is alone! If you’re alone too, just know that you’re not alone. I mean… look, never mind. Deal with it. Maybe these songs will help.

* Residents – Loneliness
* Joe Jackson – Solo (So Low)
* Beck – Go It Alone
* Loudon Wainright III – Living Alone
* David Bowie – The Loneliest Guy
* John C. Reilly – Mr. Cellophane
* Stan Ridgway – Walkin’ Home Alone
* Johnny Cash – I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry
* They Might Be Giants – A Self Called Nowhere

BTW, an extra-special shout out for Loudon Wainright III’s Last Man On Earth. If you like this show, you are probably his target audience and you should definitely check it out.
