Maybe I’ve become a bitter old man, but this Valentine’s Holiday is just bullshit. So, in the spirit of bullshit, enjoy this themed playlist:
Love Stinks - J. Geils Band
I think this is always going to be the number one song played on Feb. 14th. Classic.
Song For The Dumped - Ben Folds Five
Ben Folds always puts such raw emotion into everything he does, so it’s no surprise that this one really rocks.
Love Is Hell - Ryan Adams
I’m actualy not such a fan of this track, but the title was so appropriate, so what the hell…
Love Is Only A Feeling - The Darkness
A great song from before they started to suck.
Through With You - Maroon 5
Ya know, I really like Maroon 5, I was really into their album before it became the most overplayed thing in the past two years- when will they do something new? The original album version was the best (not the re-released, re-mixed for the masses version), but I seem to have lost it, so enjoy the live version (recorded Friday the 13th no less).
Sexed Up - Robbie Williams
The least obvious on my playlist, but it’s really all about breaking up.
Never Wanna F’n See You Again (Explicit) - Rich Hardesty
Bloomington, IN artsts are not all this bitter- or bad, but the song’s catchy (and a part of my college history) so it’s on the list. I hear Rich Hardesty is still big in Jamaica.
Jen Doesn’t Like Me Anymore - Less Than Jake
My favorite song on the list, and probably the shortest (lyrically):
Jen thinks it isn’t fair that I don’t really care
If she likes me or not
And Jen doesn’t like to settle
Until she makes me feel like Howie Reynolds
She thinks that I’m all that I’ve got
No Jen doesn’t like me anymore
Jen doesn’t like to go to the shows,
She doesn’t like my whoa - whoa’s.
Jen doesn’t like me anymore.

First off, the weekend:
 |
Eller played an incredible show at CJ’s Landing in Buckhead on Friday. Jonathan and Deke put on an amazing show- sitting there listening I could easily imagine that sound in front of much larger audiences. The songs coming from these guys are just amazing! |
| Eller - Arizona |
 |
Second, yes, my beloved Chelsea lost to some rag-tag team on Saturday (all those footiie non-fans: this was like David killing Goliath, only except that Goliath is really cool here). If I were a betting man, I’d put heavy odds on the fact that they’ll not lose another match in this season. Champions are still champions- 20-2-3 or 21-1-3, it’s still 12 points ahead of the rest of the league. |
Back to music…
Today is Tuesday, but th enew release calendar is (again) really light. Of note, two US releases of albums already out in the UK:
 |
Babyshambles - Down In Albion
Babyshambles is the post-Libertines project of terrifically ugly and drug-adicted Pete Doherty. Recent media frenzy over Doherty’s former girlfriend Kate Moss’ are about the only reason this album was ever on the radar. |
F**k Forever
La Belle et Las Bête |
 |
The Subways - Young For Eternity
Subways’ Bassist Charlotte Cooper was my pic for Stereogum’s hottest indie rock chick of 2005 (she ranked high in the results, but lost out to Jenny Lewis (you decide, below). Besides having a hot bass player, the trio boast an amazing energy that won them their first big break on the Glostonbury unsigned performers stage in 2004. The Subways’ Rock & Roll Queen was included on one fo the O.C. Mix releases, giving them that all-important teenage crowd introduction to the US. |
Oh Yeah
Rock & Roll Queen
You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away |
