Good calls. Not sure why I never gave them the time of day now. What's their best LP?

Gary Ogan and Bill Lamb - I wanna Live
It fits with your tastes and it's a great song. And it sounds miserable too.

I've gathered
all my lifetime memories of you
My lusty sentiments
that made life seem true
I'm rather selfish
and I mean to be unkind
And you can't imagine
what it does to me inside
But where am I
I want to die
I want to live
I want to die
If I were someone
I would like to be a fool
No one would know me
and I think that would be cool
I'd paint a picture
of my life upon your wall
And use the colors
that have made life seem small
But where am I
I want to die
I want to live
I want to die
But you've got a way
of understanding me
And I just call it one of your mysteries
But you know you've got to
stay close to me, close to me
But where am I
I want to die
But where am I
I want to die, I want to die
I want to give, I want to die

Van Morrison-Linden Arden Stole the Highlights

Misery has never been as beautiful as on "Veedon Fleece"

Glice - There are two self-titled LP's, I would probably start with those first, my favourite being the one with the roller coaster on the sleeve.

I Want to Hold Your Hand and when I touch you I feel happy inside it's such a feeling my love I can't hide

Mint, cheers.

Red House Painter's first s/t (Rollercoaster) is one of the best records ever I think.

Oh and Glice, my suggestion was obviously the best one : (

Okay okay
here's another very miserable song

didn't it rain's titeltrack is a great call

Brilliant, all of them. Also, you've reminded me of this, which I'd hitherto neglected.

He's Britain's Disco-era Roy Orbison, I'm convinced

Anyway,

Did you know that Elvis actually died from constipation? It was announced recently.

american music club - mom's tv
'Oh God I hate you
Telling me what's gonna happen the rest of my life'



among others.

pretty much anything off the idiot. fuckin' bleak album.

swans, khanate? or are they closer to despair than misery?
the first and second tracks from Cat Power's Myra Lee are pretty miserable.

How about Black Metal style misery? or is that too daft?

You're more cock on than most in this thread actually. Swans are on there, what's a good Khanate album to pick from? The only problem with BM is that I wanted songs in English, which is lacking in the BM I have.

I don't own any khanate, so i can't really recommend a good pick, i find them too bleak even for me. also another good record to check out would be lonesome drifter by mammal.
