Howdy Ryan,
Your use of those Brand New and The Cure's songs were masterful matched against the associations.
There are already a lot of amazing songs to consider in these answers. I'm going to try to take the shortest route to cover all the requirements.
Ashbury- Vengeance
Roxy Epoxy- Spider and the Leech
Cheers for the well executed Q my friend.
EDIT: BQ.1, Regret and disgust with myself recently.
BQ.2, I listen to Dreampop as all round cure all actually. Other than that no.
