Bluegrass Gothic

If you're having trouble getting up the nerve to cut your wrists, I recommend listening to the Be Good Tanya's Chinatown.

The CD includes,

Two songs about drug addiction.

One song about a dead pet.

Two songs about broken relationships.

One song about either a miscarriage or a deeply regretted abortion.

Actually, it's a good CD in an eerie, depressive, alt-bluegrass kind of way, but not for the faint-hearted. It could be a great CD if the lead singer could learn to ennunciate. I'm more than a little impressed that a bunch of young alt-chick Canadians can channel that sex-death-sin desparation seldom heard outside of old-time country music.
