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

pestymagician [Edit] [Delete] 87 replies 10:09, 24 January '12

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.

    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.
