So I'm settling in for an evening of getting progressively drunk, miserable but in that mellow slightly wallowing way that is actually quite pleasant and listening to Ambulance Blues which is pretty wonderful actually.

What are everyone elses fav songs for that slightly romanticised drinking alone time. Scott Walker - On Your Own Again and City Middle by The National.

Tom Waits would be great but I always find the idea of Tom Waits better than the reality...well ok probably just haven't spent enough time with him. Anything with slightly plinky jazzy piano and sonorous baritone over the top seems to work...
