I think two of my most embarrassing Napster downloads were "Crazy" by Patsy Cline and some damn radiosong by Matchbox 20. Both are indulgences in the "depressive self-gratification" category. Kind of like the Ani DiFranco "every pop song on the radio is speaking to me" concept. Counting Crows are the perfect band for this sort of thing. The music's shamelessly whiny, but Adam Duritz writes fabulous lyrics, so there's some justification. The perfect band for the intellectual wallowing in unabashed angst.
