Always the last one to know

I'm kind of obsessive when it comes to songs that I like. I'll pick one, just one, and listen to it on repeat for months. Literally...months. I'll ruin it, listening to it until I can't stand the sound of it. It breaks my heart that I'll do that to myself, but it is what it is I guess. The shitter of it is when it's a sad song. I don't understand it, and I may never will, but sad songs make me happy. I mean really seriously deliriously happy. Like, give me a song about heartbreak and sorrow and I'll laugh and smile all day. Give me a song about loss, I'll dance a jig.

I may be the last one on Earth to hear of them, but as it turns out I like The Mountain Goats. Well, I like their ultra sad/hateful/hurtful stuff. Specifically, This Year and No Children. I just sat here and listened to No Children 26 times in a row. I can't stop myself. It's almost 3 am and I don't care.

What the fuck is wrong with me that I'll do this to myself?

Oh well, misery loves company I guess, so here ya go.
