When I'm 'down' I listen to Grunge.

But to ease it, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel.

While I should feel depressed from unemployment and being away from friends, I'm actually more content now than in a long time.

But I'm not good at the whole "let music guide your mood" thing. I get bored by whatever doesn't click.

The Bangles, The Monkees, stuff like that. Although I wouldn't describe either of those as strange.

Me too, I tend to only play tunes when I'm in the mood.

Zooey's voice always massages my soul, of course. Plus the songs on here are all fantastic and relaxed, it all just sits well.

William Basinski, gospel, free-jazz people like Marion Brown. I guess The Kinks, as well. Or The Faces.

For some reason, "VU", while not my favourite Velvets record at all (still great though), is always one of my top "feeling down" records. Also the third album. Not the Velvets counts as "strange" sad music though. Also yeah, definitely beefheart. Especially "Safe as Milk".

More!

Keiji Haino - Affection
 


Pharoah Sanders - Karma
 


Suicide - s/t
 


Ciccone Youth - The Whitey Album
 


Just off the top of my head. I mention hundreds though. Basically, great music is what eases me when I'm down. No need to be specific.

But in the context of the thread, it makes sense. Sure is a strange pick.
