My boyfriend broke up with me today. Need suitable albums.

I'm in a "whatever, his loss" kind of mood, rather than a "listen to nothing but the Magnetic Fields in the dark" mood. This could change at any moment. Recommend me some music DiS.

Alternatively, you could listen to the biggest, widest, most overblown power-ballad ever written

It's so cheesy it transcends cheese and becomes genuinely overwhelming. Naturally, it's Japanese.

For best results listen to it whilst eating an enormous supermarket baguette and sobbing gently.

Then get drunk. Very Drunk.

While you're still angry,

blast See This Through and Leave by the Cooper Temple Clause. That's my go-to break up album.

If/when you get sad and start missing him, go for any Gene album. Their albums are a good mix of songs that are slightly uplifting then others that will make you sob.

Try these on size...

Do You Imagine Things? - Alfie (A nice upbeat album, positive riffage!)
Sea Change - Beck (His break up album, with a few good 'fuck you' tracks)
Bringing It All Back Home - Dylan (Its got 'Its All Over Now Baby Blue' on it. again, a great 'fuck you' track)
Fuzzy Logic - SFA (couldn't hurt...)
Hope you're feeling better sooner rather than later!
