This is something that I often forget and have been trying to keep in mind recently. I don't listen to music most of the time and am not very passionate about it, but it's still a surprisingly good way of improving my mood.
... although I have to choose it carefully. Of my two recent favorite albums, one is a little too blue for a pick-me-up (Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass - Fitzgerald and Pass ... Again), and the other is too bouncy for me to tolerate when I'm in a bad mood (Teapacks - Disco Menayak).
I find music draws me out of a bad mood best when it first matches my mood, then gradually changes toward my desired mood. You might try making an "anti-nihilism" mix that starts with Wagner and progresses through Elle Fitzgerald into the Teapacks.
My girlfriend just posted this site on facebook, which looks like it could systematize the process I described in the sibling comment.
