Wow, how miserable? I'm strangely attracted to this (not Gary Jules though - sorry). ''Come down from the cross'' - classic! Good job all round.

I love angry, bummer music! When it is sad and depressed, so much the better!

Suddenly my Jackson Brown's Late For The Sky seems like birthday party music. Great job, as usual.

A mix for the times when a good sippin' drink is called for, amidst darkness and candlelight...and we all have those times.

Wow, fantastic stuff; ditto 12vman that this deserves MOTW. I love the Guthrie - Williams stretch, and of course, you can never go wrong with Tom Waits. :)
