"Wow Andrew, go ahead and choose a depressing topic. That'll win friends and influence people..."
Wheesht, brain! It was either that or the 'what are you an expert in' topic, and fuck knows I'm not gonna spend an hour at half three in the morning trying to work out what I'm really good at!
So... yeah, breakup playlist. This one is equally hard as someone who has way too much gloomy music on their computer, but if there's one thing I'm decent at it's narrowing down a selection of songs to a manageable and enjoyable list. I was, after all, a hospital radio presenter in a previous life - a volunteer career that ended when I moved home due to a breakup, aptly enough for this post.
Consider this the final show that never went out. The counterpoint to my cheesy Christmas and Valentine's specials. A lot of the songs are sort of romantic, but I like to wallow in sadness when I've just been punched in the heart. Enjoy!
