What do you listen to when you are drinking by yourself? I know there are a lot of lonely melancholics on this board who seek solace in a glass and a record. Pic related is what I'm chilling to right now, Rain Dogs. "Time" is about to come on. I've always found Waits to be very comforting, maybe it's nostalgic because I discovered him at a formative point in my life. Anyway, looking forward to what you are enjoying

real no-bullshit melancholia doesn't work like you think it does. i've had serious depressive issues for over a decade and i mainly listen to trashy rap music.
The Cars

Kanye is my go to artist when drowning myself in sorrow with alcohol for some reason
The Blue Nile
i've never understood the "listening to sad music whilst drinking alone" meme
if i'm ever drinking alone i play some sassy ass pop tunes that i'd be embarrassed to listen to sober and i make a one man party out of it

Or some Johnny Cash

Nice, I usually drink to Tom Waits too. But besides him I usually listen to Townes Van Zandt or something of the like.
I will leave some links if you're interested.

Maybe it is possible that people are different? I understand where you are coming from, and I've certainly listened to quite a bit of less-than-patrician music for comfort over the years. But I'm having a romanticized pity party, hence the use of the term "melancholic."
