i'm so excited for this show tonight trance

Mon. 1/26/09 8:10pm From: trent

it's going to be a good one. it's going to take you on a ride down and up and all around, and overall feel all inside of your emotions.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:13pm From: karinne

this one punches me in the gut in a very tender way.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:18pm From: trent

that's the idea karinne. so thank you! it's a good one huh?

Mon. 1/26/09 8:18pm From: liane

Mon. 1/26/09 8:20pm From: trent

Mon. 1/26/09 8:22pm From: liane

Mon. 1/26/09 8:23pm From: ~L

I like this Mad World song, it's in the Donnie Darko movie.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:32pm From: jess

geezus f. christ. i can't handle this one. somebody pass the bon bons.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:39pm From: alex d

my girlfriend's dad's 1st cousin is playing lead guitar in this song.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:39pm From: RagnarR in SF Bay

Loving the Scala & Kolacny Bros. If you're doing depressing and sad stuff - play something by Codeine. Doesn't Steely Dan have a more "downer" of a tune than "Reelin'", it sounds a little too happy to me.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:40pm From: noel

Sonic Youth's "Schizophrenia" from Sister might fit well with tonight's theme.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:41pm From: karinne

dirty work?
graham nash's another sleep song hits high on pure emoto-meter

Mon. 1/26/09 8:42pm From: Ike

God, how I despise Steely Dan. This song is emotionless! It's like lite elevator jazz crossbred with the Eagles plus more gloss. But other than that, great show so far!

I'd nominate Arcade Fire for most emotional. Or most epic and affecting anyway.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:43pm From: JE

Nanci Griffith's version of "Morning Song for Sally" knocks the wind out of me every time I hear it...

Mon. 1/26/09 8:44pm From: alex d

xiu xiu - clowne towne
cat faces - ugly casanova

Mon. 1/26/09 8:46pm From: trent

these are all GREAT suggestions KEEP THEM COMING. i'm looking for them. if there's any way you could give me an mp3 or link please do - trent@wfmu.org or right here.

it's not ALL about depressing.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:48pm From: jess

i'm really getting very emotional right now. i just drunk messaged some people on facebook that i care about telling them how much i care about them.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:53pm From: jackie

man, sound and safe > blind dates. infinitely. glad you're here this week.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:55pm From: jennifer marino

hey ..i just sent over a few songs for the list..

Mon. 1/26/09 8:55pm From: Jake

I feel a few months closer to being 16 (and driving late at night) with each song. Almost anything by Neko Case or from R&L Thompson toward the end fits the bill. But for pure emotions, nicely mixed, I'd go for The Band's "Acadian Driftwood." Great, great show tonight.

Mon. 1/26/09 8:56pm From: cashcash

i request some "return to innocence"

Mon. 1/26/09 8:57pm From: cashcash

Tips for battling S.A.D (Seasonal Affective Disorder.)
When you awake in the morning turn on every light in the house (brains need sunlight, but fake sunlight works,too). In the evening, gradually begin turning out your lights one by one until you are assimilated to night time darkness and can go to sleep. Then the next day turn on all the lights again, energy crisis be damned!

Mon. 1/26/09 9:34pm From: izzy

HI JESS!! Happy new year to you too gfriend.

Tront I'd like to hear the greatest by Cat Power. Also my ringtone, Fade into you, is also appropriate.

Mon. 1/26/09 9:37pm From: sheasheawanton

Perhaps you should work in some leonard cohen. So many good choices i can't even make a suggestion

Mon. 1/26/09 9:39pm From: alex d

pet sounds = first musical recording i ever bought (cassette, 12yrs ago). you still believe in me = one of my 3 songs off it.

Mon. 1/26/09 9:40pm From: groucho

Tips for enjoying S.A.D

Stay up all night and sleep all day

Rinse and repeat.

Mon. 1/26/09 9:41pm From: George of Troy

Trent, the Arthur Russell > Neil Young > Beach Boys was perfect!

Mon. 1/26/09 9:44pm From: alex d

I second the leonard cohen request. Maybe "Stories of the Street". pretty heartwrenching "...and lost among the subway cars i try to catch your eye."

Mon. 1/26/09 9:46pm From: edith phern

aah, mazzy star, the best make-out album of 1993. i also third the leonard cohen.

Mon. 1/26/09 9:48pm From: texas scott

i 4th the lc T

Mon. 1/26/09 9:48pm From: trent

awesome show. Stuart A. Staples --- Dark Days

Mon. 1/26/09 9:51pm From: edith phern

Tom Waits: I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You, from Closing Time!

Mon. 1/26/09 9:51pm From: Lisa

except play the Mickey Dolans version of Different Drum. He wrote it and he sings it so well.

Mon. 1/26/09 9:52pm From: tengel

Tom Waits - The Fall of Troy i think it's on the Bawlers disc of Orphans, Bawlers, and Bastards

Mon. 1/26/09 9:53pm From: Lisa

OMG! Did I just write that! I meant Mike Nesmith!

Mon. 1/26/09 9:54pm From: maria

Jeff Buckley's version of leonard cohen's Halleluiah, on Grace

Mon. 1/26/09 9:55pm From: nes

who is/was lee hazlewood?

Mon. 1/26/09 9:56pm From: x

this is the saddest one!

Mon. 1/26/09 9:57pm From: texas scott

lee hazelwood...country singer from the 90s...i think.

Mon. 1/26/09 9:58pm From: jess

X - it really is the saddest one. it's making my heart hurt real bad right now.

Mon. 1/26/09 10:01pm From: edithphern

@maria...rufus wainwright's verson of leonard cohen's Halleluliah is really good, too!

Mon. 1/26/09 10:01pm From: nes

big star's "for you" is a weeper...

Mon. 1/26/09 10:05pm From: nes

anybody ever hear of leo dan, argentine pop artist late 60s early 70s? some downbeat songs with a synthesizer background no less

Mon. 1/26/09 10:08pm From: MONTREAL

T. WAITS, "YOU'RE INNOCENT WHEN YOU DREAM"

Mon. 1/26/09 10:09pm From: Parq

my Waits vote is for "Kentucky Avenue" from the Blue Valentine album. Emotional bordering on shattering.

Mon. 1/26/09 10:12pm From: groucho

This is a great theme! Back in the day I had a super hot roommate well out of my league but we happened to be home alone one winter night and did the same thing: Play the most depressing songs we could.

Long :) story short we ended up in bed for a wonderful night!

Once in a life time!

Mon. 1/26/09 10:12pm From: MONTREAL

ROKY ERICKSON, "YOU'RE AN UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT"

Mon. 1/26/09 10:15pm From: Dan Bodah

For Tom Waits, I'd definitely say Blow Wind Blow from Frank's Wild Years. Also, I second Rufus Wainwright's cover of Hallelujah -- if you play Leonard Cohen, Suzanne is pretty good. Great show Trent!

Mon. 1/26/09 10:15pm From: texas scott

good times!Trent.1st time listener to your show.this is what you might call anti-pseu sounds HAHA!
i don't actually know tom waits music...

Mon. 1/26/09 10:33pm From: jess

SHOOT. THIS SONG. OUCH!

Mon. 1/26/09 10:34pm From: Dan B

Yeah, I forgot about Who Are You? by Waits -- I had a rich girlfriend who actually did jump out a window in expensive clothes. That song always resonated with me.

Mon. 1/26/09 10:37pm From: The Log Lady

Whoa, Dan! That has the makings of a cool story.

Mon. 1/26/09 10:39pm From: Maria

YESsssss!!!

Mon. 1/26/09 10:39pm From: steveroo

whats with all the recognizable good tunes?

are you trying to put the world in a good mood?

Mon. 1/26/09 10:41pm From: trent

steveroo- i would never. dan in honor of that we're going to do that one.

Mon. 1/26/09 10:41pm From: Dan B

I don't know if I'd call it a "great" story. She didn't succeed in killing herself *that* time...eventually, though, many years later, when we'd been out of touch for a while, she suffocated herself with a plastic bag. She was an incredibly smart, beautiful girl, and it will be shame if her father has to wait until he's in hell before he rots.

Mon. 1/26/09 10:43pm From: jackie

christ.

Mon. 1/26/09 10:43pm From: steveroo

Mon. 1/26/09 10:43pm From: Noel

My Favorite new sad song is Rainland by Micronormous

Mon. 1/26/09 10:44pm From: texas scott

Mon. 1/26/09 10:45pm From: The Log Lady

perfect ending...wonderful show

Tue. 1/27/09 3:12am From: Inlam

Allison Crowe's version of Hallelujah is pure emotion. It's not sad. For an older song, Nina Simone's Wild is the Wind.
