Livin's Mostly Wastin' Time: A Playlist for the Quixotic


Here are some tunes for the quixotic, the moody, the sullen and forlorn.  Music for those that know the sting of unrequited love or the icy wind of loneliness, as well as a tender, lover's kiss.  A playlist for those that dwell in the sentimental underbelly of heartbreak and jade.  These are songs for those who prefer their romance viewed through a haze of smoke. For the dark and lachrymose; the prurient night-junkies.
