I went through a phase of listening to A Crow Looked at Me pretty much on repeat, if that counts.

Here’s a little blurb I wrote for today’s show and the tracklisting

Drowned in Sound’s Unhappy Hour 2

As an antithesis to summer party anthems,

DiS compiles two hours of mellow and melancholy Monday “vibes” hosted by the website’s founder Sean Adams. Tune in for a mix of drone, sad-songer-writerer, and zoned-out RnB. There’s a sparse cover of Black Sabbath and new music from Angel Olsen, Ed Harcourt and Howling Bells’ Juanita Stein alongside classic cuts from Nick Cave and Cocteau Twins.

Listen live from 4pm on www.sohoradiolondon.com or it’ll be on Mixcloud later, subscribe www.mixcloud.com/seaninsound

His profile pic makes him look like a miserable young acoustic troubadour who’s sold 17 million albums and permanently on the Radio 1 A list :thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking:

Then again he isn’t as his name is not Tom. Ie Tom Walker, Tom Grennan, Tom Odell and Tom Sheeran

#17

Five or six on A Hero’s Death by Fontaines DC. Still can’t tell if that band are the saviours of rock or the new Stereophonics.

Everything Everything’s The Peaks. Jon’s always been cagey about its meaning but I have always felt it was him singing the end of the world, and it crushes me every time.

#20

And a second Everything Everything pick, Put Me Together, which makes me consider the burgeoning alienation and xenophobia of the last few years, the Other-ising we are constantly doing to ourselves, the double-edged sword of ‘difference’.

Miserable songs are the best and there are way too many to choose from, so I’ll go with the one that’s been in my head all day, The centerpiece and bleakest song on their bleakest album, it’s completely suffocating and devoid of anything resembling hope. The album artwork says it all.

The Flaming Lips - Butterfly How Long It Takes to Die

Best was seeing him live in Studio 2 here in Liv and being part of a room full of neurotic, oversensitive ~30 year olds singing “I am tired, I am afraid” in unison.
