Often when depressed, I try to listen to really depressing music
as a way to … oh, I don't know … feel better? Match my mood? Depress
me so far down that I come through the other side?
For the past decade, the album Pretty
Hate Machine by Nine Inch
Nails has been the stand-by “depressed from Hell” album to listen to
(although sometimes a good Dennis Leary
rant does the trick) but I think I finally found the
“depressed music from Hell” that exactly matches my mood.
Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass. Dark,
brooding organ music (you could almost say “Gothic”) with a deep baritone
voice chanting “Koyaanisquatsi” over and over again. A perfect fit for my
current mood.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
