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:

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.
