Friday morning downer

Bob Collins is asking questions today at SugaRush coffee shop, 712 University Avenue in St. Paul, until around noon. Stop in to say hello. In the meantime, and in honor of his Monday Morning Rouser, we present a Friday morning downer: Bill Callahan singing “Too Many Birds” at Waterloo Records in Austin, Texas.

I find depressing music uplifting in a strange way. What are your nominations for the best gloomy songs?
