Comment:

I've been feeling kinda down, lately, so I made an anti-depression mix to cheer me up. At first listen, some of the tracks may seem a bit depressing, but they all have a message of hope. Title from the Yann Tiersen track.

Buck up, camper! At the VERY least you have this mix to be proud of. Then, upon contemplation of its merits, 100 orther things will come to mind to buoy your spirits! Mix-making as therapy -- sounds like a doctoral thesis to me.

I'm with the Denim Delinquent on "Rudie Can't Fail." That song has the ability to raise the living dead. The London Calling album cranked up full blast has brought me back from depression numerous times. Hope you feel better.
