I don't think the SSRIs are working any more.

[constance]

I've been making a Christmas CD as office gifts for my coworkers. Since they're for the most part older than I am, and to a person infinitely more conservative than I am, I've been limiting myself to the more traditional parts of my Christmas music while choosing a playlist; and as an antidote I've been breaking by listening to the indie-type stuff.

At some point during one of these breaks, I realized that a lot of the indie-type stuff is kind of, well. It's a downer, is what, whether it's whiny my-baby-left-me or just fucked in the head (although some of it's so over-the-top, purposefully or not, that it kind of crosses back over into festive and fun again).

Generations X and Y have some issues to work through as regards the holiday season, it seems.

I recommend you get drunk before listening.

I just found your collection and love it. As it's January by now that's saying something.
Do you know the Christmas album by Low? That's my personal depressing Christmas favorite. You might like it. (listen (http://www.imeem.com/people/9xZl_VX//music/M90Tk8fK/low_if_you_were_born_today/)). Next year, that is. ;)
Thanks for uploading!

Ohhh. Thank you, I love Low! I didn't know they'd put out a Christmas album. Like so many of the above, it doesn't really seem like their style.
