songs that are awesome

either while going through a break-up or feeling bad about boys in general:
  • suedehead, morrissey. most morriessy will make you feel better, this one will make you feel both sad and bitter and eager to sing along.
  • strong man, luscious jackson. because sometimes you need reminding that you don't suck that bad, maybe he does. it's also a nice reminder that being in a relationship with someone who's on the same page as you is really better than anything one-sided.
  • fuck and run, liz phair. um, duh. if you are a girl like me and grew up in the 90's, you love this song.
  • somebody i used to know, elliott smith. i know anne doesn't care for elliott, but i like how even his sad songs have happy sounding guitars.
  • you were wrong, built to spill. another happy sounding song that is a bit on the grim side.
  • lost cause, beck. while i am not the biggest beck fan, this song perfectly sums up the "this relationship is doomed" feeling one might have.
  • the hopeless waltz, blanche. this one makes you want to wear a long skirt and stare out a rainy window while sighing deeply.
  • no more words, berlin. that's right, talk is cheap. added bonus: terri nunn's hair in the video is crazy fierce.
any other suggestions?

I think that list sums it up pretty well.
