I had to Interlibrary Loan this in order to finally cross it off my reading list. Good, entertaining writing about songs you won't look at the same again. (

The 52 most depressing songs the author could find. Each one is critically reviewed (well in some cases attacked would be better). Very much tongue in cheek, as it ploughs through various categories (I mope there for I am, Teenage car crashes) building up to "the perfect storms" of depressing tunes.
Most have charted in the UK or US so you may have heard (of) them. A throw away hour particulary good for those who like to nit-pick their musical choices

A book which inspired me to compile all these dreadful songs in an iTunes file.
A most amusing must-have. (

Even though I had a decidedly “meh” reaction to Tom Reynolds’s latest book, Touch Me, I’m Sick, I adore I Hate Myself and Want to Die: The 52 Most Depressing Songs You’ve Ever Heard. It is a book I reread often, and it still makes me laugh out loud (or chuckle quietly to myself if I am reading it in public).

A very snarky and funny look at the songs that try so dang hard to be deep and insightful and just don't work. I wish this was packaged with a CD of the songs-instead, I just downloaded songs because I'd never heard alot of them (they're famous enough, I'm just too young to know songs like MacArthur Park are not just silly songs in the Simpsons). The funniest part of the book is his review of Ben Folds Five's "Brick," because he interprets the song incorrectly and comments on it through the chapter. (
