A good indie playlist?

Indie Rock Tragedy Playlist

  • Help me finish a just started Indie Rock Tragedy playlist. I currently have "The Commander Thinks Aloud - The Long Winters" and "The President is Dead - Okkervil Radio". I am looking for consistency in theme and sound/genre.

  • Answer:

    The Headphones - Natural Disaster Pavement - Hit the Plane Down Tim Buckley - No Man Can Find The War (if Tim Buckley isn't indie enough for you Tuung recently covered this.) Yo La Tengo - Nuclear War Portatastic - Hurricane Warning (ignored) Nada Surf - Blizzard of 77 that's all I've got off the top of my head.

What are the criteria? That would help narrow it down because tragedy is a pretty broad category. For example, would "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division count? When you say Indie, how far back are we talking?

A lot of indie rock is pretty tragic. Only, not in a good way.

"Good Morning, Captain", by Slint. It's about a shipwreck!

A lot of indie rock is pretty tragic. Only, not in a good way. A snap, a most palpable snap! Tollund Man - The Mountain Goats (for ancient tragedy) Heroes 2002 - Kimya Dawson (for modern tragedy)

Pretty much anything by The Auteurs.

Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, more or less the whole album--it's hopeful, sure, but it is about Anne Frank. The Decemberists, Leslie Anne Levine?

The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead - XTC Sounds poppy, but is about the assassination of a JFK-esque figure (or maybe just JFK)
