Theme playlist #2: Living Well Is the Best Revenge...

Been jilted by your lover? Get dumped by that special someone who you thought was "the one?" Well, get a hold of yourself, you crybaby. Why be sad about a breakup when you can blast these songs and give a big "FUCK YOU!" to your ex? Here are some of my favorite bitter post-breakup songs:

1. Johnny Cash- "Cry, Cry, Cry"
2. Say Anything- "Every Man Has a Molly"
3. Against Me!- "Cavalier Eternal"
4. Brand New- "Seventy Times Seven"
5. Excuse 17- "This Is Not Your Wedding Song"
6. Green Day- "Stuart and the Ave."
7. Sleater-Kinney- "One Song For You"
8. Jawbreaker- "Sluttering (May 4th)"
9. The Dresden Dolls- "Dirty Business"
10. Guns N' Roses- "You're Crazy"
11. Quasi- "I Never Want to See You Again"
12. Alkaline Trio- "Radio"

"One Song For You" was the inspiration for this playlist; Corin Tucker screaming "Drop little boy crumbs you can follow back when you get lost becoming a man!!!" is enough to make any guy feel a little emasculated. "Radio" is another classic because there's nothing like imploring the other person to kill themselves. Green Day's entry has the classic line "Standing on the corner of Stuart and Ave./Ripping up my transfer and a photograph of you." Finally, Jawbreaker's "Sluttering (May 4th)" finds the narrator looking on in disgust as the object of his affection finds someone new, and when Blake sings "Congratulations to you both, I hope somewhere you're happy," the sentiment is dripping with more than a little bit of sarcasm and disdain.
