Thomas Ligotti is one of horror fiction's top stylists. For anyone not familiar w/his work, he writes profoundly unsettling stories that sit at the point where Poe, Lovecraft, et al. run headlong into Nabokov and Burroughs. He's also a sucker for a sad song. Here are 11 of his favourites:
Nico--Fairest of the Seasons
Lou Reed--Sad Song
Carpenters--Goodbye to Love
Cocteau Twins--Heaven
The Vogues--Turn Around
Bee Gees--I Started a Joke
The Poni-Tails--Born Too Late
Moby Grape--8:05
Mott the Hoople--Foxy, Foxy
Sweeney Todd (Broadway production not the movie), George Hearn and
others--Johanna
Julee Cruise/Angleo Badalamenti--Falling

Hi, Neddal, not heard from you for a while. Hope you're well.
Hi, Des. Good to hear from you! I have a total blind spot when it comes to Goldfrapp, I'll have to check it out.
