Zack Harrison Memorial Music Monday: Modern Girl's Guide To Breaking Up Edition

I'm not breaking up with anyone, for now. Except maybe Fiber One bars. However, I do enjoy a good break up song. Yes, there are lots of oldies but goodies, I like these newer ones, though. This is, by no means, a complete list:



Single Again - Fiery Furnaces



Breaking Up - Rilo Kiley



Wake Up Alone - Amy Winehouse



Let's Not Belong Together - Pete Yorn



Irreplaceable - Beyonce



Your Ex-Lover Is Dead - Stars



I Think I Need A New Heart - The Magnetic Fields



Come Pick Me Up - Ryan Adams



No Children - The Mountain Goats



Song For The Dumped - Ben Folds Five



Broken Heart - Spiritualized



I Am Trying To Break Your Heart - Wilco



Nothing Better - Postal Service



Smile - Lily Allen



Woke Up New - The Mountain Goats



I'm Waking Up To You - Belle & Sebastian

great choices, especially ryan adams... effing depressing but SOOOOO good.

breaking up by r.k. makes me want to go skating...? still awesome!

I love these lists because they send me springboarding to bands I haven't previously listened to.

Also, because I'm a big Paul Simon fan, I think my favorite breaking up song is 50 ways to leave your lover. Cheesey, I know.

andrea - ryan adams is a special kind of depressing. and yes, i think skating to RK is perfectly acceptable.

john - yay! that's what i'm going for. i've kind of been out of the game - i think newer music has been sucky this year, but there's still some good stuff out there. you're in a much better area to take advantage of live music, so get out there! also, i belong to a facbook group called negotiations and love songs. it's not lame.
