Usually something quite heavy: Converge, (early) Cave In or Dillinger Escape Plan. Sometimes I might listen to Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake or Neil Young.

I move to korea on tuesday - and i've had this stuck in my head as i say goodbye to my friends. So its always going to remind me of the amazing people i am leaving in ireland

if you follow the lyrics ... some of the parts just make me think of all the stupid and self-destructive things i did following a pretty bleak period in my life. It gets alot of airplay anytime i feel terrible - its a great song and a warning to not let myself get that messed up again
