Music for "Tough Times"

Jarmusch, Scorsese, Wenders, even Tarantino... amazing soundtracks. Not just best of's or "I know that..." I think this is why they make me smile. Jackie Brown is a great example of a soundtrack that when you're in a bad mood, after "Across A Hundred and Tenth Street" followed by Foxy Brown's "Letter to the Firm" not to mention just the ridiculous cover. Or Wender's "Far Away, So Close!" soundtrack. I got stranded in Europe with no money once for about a week, and it was the only thing that got me through.

Music isn't sometimes the best treatment for Tough Times in general.
The best way to kill tough times is to grab chica and dance rumba...:-)

No doubt - Jackson Browne's "Late for the Sky" whole album.

For the down times, Rainy days & Mondays, The Carpenter's. Also, Rickie Lee Jones (all) seem to get me back on track. Then if that don't do it.. Some Steely Dan.

Social Distotion, "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell"..

It does the body good..
