...Give me an example!" you say. A couple of week ago, around that little holiday that acutely reminds some of us--just in case we forgot--that we are single, my friends were plagued with a string of constant complaints that seemed to trip from my tongue as effortlessly as conversations about the weather.

Songs from My Funeral works well as chilled background music, but because of the lack of variety in remix styles and the constant, helpless death themes, one song can be enough.
