A great one for your Halloween playlists is "The Crazy" by The Children MacNuggits.

But if you want even more obscure, a college friend of mine started a homebrew record label and got every band on campus to submit their best track for a compilation... and then he did it five more times

Twenty years later, I still listen to some of these songs daily, but especially: (warning, these are download links, not streaming)

Cold Heaven - "Eurydice"

The Heavy Pets - "(A Dragon's Just) A Dinosaur in Drag"

Zinc Finger and the Major Groove - "Too Much of a Girl"

The Passerines - "Young"

No, it'd only end up in the dumpster.

for example, 'Internet' is a proper noun and should always be capitalized

There was a viral short featuring someone using it wrong, a bunch of younger people cribbed from the video and started using it wrong.

I don't force myself to start right away. After years of "well I guess I might as well" I now more-or-less automatically start washing dishes, doing laundry, and tackling yardwork when my mood dips. I still need to make the conscious choice to tackle bigger jobs like mucking out the basement or turnjng the compost.

Not in that way, but:

A) my environment is usually nicer afterwards, which improves mood, and

2] if I was miserable due to fighting with my partner, seeing me do chores usually improves her mood, facilitating reconciliation

When I feel bad emotionally, I clean. I do the nastiest, most unpleasant jobs; since I'm gonna be miserable no matter what, I might as well get some use out of it.

perambulation is a good one. My morning walk isn't quite grand enough to be called a 'constitutional'; nor scenic and leisurely enough to be called a 'stroll'; nor yet social enough to be called a 'promenade'; 'perambulation' is just the ticket.
