Have to admit, Duke -- I read the other two thirds first (running down the feed in alphabetical order)...but yours is the one I would have made for myself, if I needed a mix like this.
Perfect songs for the occasion, fragile and depressed and full of rage in turn. Musicians I trust to give their all, and carry the most effective emotional tone. Gorgeous.
Nice work, as always.
hey, here is the site i was talking about where i made the extra cash......

Great list...
Love 'Haircut' by The Waifs. I don't think of it as a heartbreak song though, more of a 'You're a bad loser and I'm better off without you' song!
