Only music cures the blues, part deux

Back in January I posted a Boredom Mix, in other words something I threw together because I was bored and needed something to do to lift my spirits. Feeling the same blues once again, I made another one today.

I'm not sure what, if anything, these songs have in common other than that they fit together and seem to thrive in each other's company.

I suppose they all have certain darkness to them. A melancholy, a feeling of desolation. The good kind of melancholy though, not the one were you depressed as shit and everything sucks and you wish you'd die.

No, I mean the type of melancholy that feels quite comfortable. Ever seen Lost in Translation? That's the mood what I'm talking about. Being gloomy and a little distant but feeling kinda good about. As it happens, Lost in Translation featured one of the songs on this mix. No prizes for guessing which one though.
