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.
- DiS meets Owl John: “This record saved Frightened Rabbit”
- Bear In Heaven - Time is Over One Day Old
- Devonté Hynes - Palo Alto: Original Motion Picture Score
- Indietracks 2014: The DiS Review
- Oya Festival 2014 - five must-see acts
- Spoon - They Want My Soul
- Adult Jazz - Gist Is
- Articulate Silences, Ambient Sounds #21
This thread needs 13monsters
I think he killed himself when his gf left him.
Surely the most obvious choice

The Elliott Smith discography...
or in the case of unfaithfulness...
take one Prayer to God by Shellac...
The Enemy - Music For The People
Das Oath
Go out and get good and pissed.
R Kelly Ignition
Oh.. you wanted albums.. err Swans - Filth
frightened rabbit - poke
GREAT ALBUM
OK JORDAN
the whole of the midnight organ fight. THAT OK JORDAN?
Camera Obscura - Let's Get Out Of This Country
I'm listening to "Swimming Pool" right now. I was going to recommend that. It's so sad, though...
<3 Swimming Pool...
... favourite track of theirs, by a Country Mile (ahem, I'll get my coat...)
Maybe some Scott:

GG Allin.

Slayer - Reign in Blood?
*Converge-Jane Doe
^ perfect for all occasions.
You don't need music...
...you need a distraction.
(I'd like to point out here that I'm not suggesting I'm it - well at least I'm not gonna suggest that unless you suggest it first).
Erm...yeah.
;0)
Your username belies your claim to honourable intentions.
I take your point.
Again, I'd like to point out that I'm not like that - well at least I'm not gonna suggest that unless you suggest it first...
worst two posts in the history of DiS
You've been here that long?
Christ.
Yeah, they should have used a thesaurus more.
Just like to point out
I didn't mean to this this.
Her Handwriting - Trembling Blue Stars
for some mournful, self-obsessed, wallowing stalkeryness (that is also pop perfection personified)
some female empowerment anthems
maybe the kelis one where she shouts a lot
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAMEUWc9_JU
Look I found her
Red coat
Dance around to Blood Brothers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqGLfosRhGY
If your mood wonders over to the more feeling sorry for yourself side of things...
...Brand New?
Glassjaw - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence.
ah, these were the days
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/3927194
It's amusing how much of what is in that thread I went on to absolutely love.
Beck - Sea Change
Came here to say this.
Amazing break up album, so good sometimes I wish I was broken hearted. Or just pretend I am
I broke up from a 5 year relationship
the year after it came out. God do I relate to Beck. After weeks of repeated plays I felt much better.... and much closer with Beck Hansen.
A simply perfect album.
Magazine - The Correct Use Of Soap
scientifically proven to be the greatest break-up album ever recorded
failing that, Peter Hammill - Over
examples of both to follow:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agy6k87T7Xc (Magazine - You Never Knew Me, so fucking elegant and cathartic)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN0wxPeWWAg (Peter Hammill - Betrayed, complete blood-letting mania)
Van Der Graaf Generator - Lost
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bveabYHMi6U
yeah, if you prefer your Hammill bloodletting more oblique (and with better music)
fuck it, listen to this one too, it's about YOUNG LOVE GONE WRONG (well, HORNY STUDENTS RATIONALISIN'): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndu96lClBIA
Sharon Van Etten - Epic
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.
X-Japan - Tears: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTNybXzqb-g
Gay or straight?
Might make a difference.
straight
not sure if he is..
Red House Painters
/Sun Kil Moon/Mark Kozelek - a back catalogue of loss!
anything by the smiths
go yo your nearest yate's wine lodge with a fiver...
...and spend it on a bottle of wine. all music will sound great then
Cursive - The Ugly Organ
cracking album
tell all your friends
DON'T CALL MY NAME OUT YOUR WINDOW I'M LEAVING!!!
Red House Painters
should do it.
Sebadoh
Big Black
I loved You, But You left Me by Christian le Vaux
I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness
The Wedding Present - Seamonsters
particularly Heather
Brilliant album to shout / scream along too...
New Found Glory - sticks and stones
or just listen to 'my friends over you' about 15 times
The Gerogerigegege - Endless Humiliation
download the new Rick Ross mixtape and blast that shit while drinking straight from a bottle of Hennessy.
limp bizkit
limp bizkit committee down in kansas city
If you get all mournful then American Football are the place to go...
... I caned that after my last break-up
Love is Hell:- Ryan Adams.
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.
get some Mountain Goats in there somewhere
already done.
they're my favourite band. not sure I'm ready to have a 'Get Lonely' phase just yet.
Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lx985QIqlo
I would say Afghan Whigs- Gentlemen
but it's focused on the male end of things mostly.
PJ Harvey-Rid Of Me or 4 track Demos
IT'S TIME TO FEEL GOOD
http://bit.ly/XQPbH
John Grant
Queen of Denmark. Bitter sweet bitter sweetieness.
You people are brilliant.
I'm seriously going to have a look at all of these (whilst drinking a decent amount of johnnie walker).
*abandon reply*
no problem
DiS is what we do.
Des Ark - Don't Rock The Boat, Sink The F**ker
by turns empowering and melancholic.
Also any Reuben album.
Tindersticks, the second album
Though that's probably better for when you want proper, maudlin, drinking yourself silly music.
Shellac - Prayer to God
When you absolutely, positively got to hate every last muthafucker in the world, accept no substitutes.
Simple Plan
Yes, this is my first post.
nice username!
classic Antlers/Bon Iver
followed by post-nothing, Japandroids, has served me well recently.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R_3mXZBsuU
has it all. Some introspection, some regret, but then a triumphant bounce back at around 13:00. "Almost, almost, almost..."
PARTY HARD
PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD PARTY HARD
I Will Survive?
if you're still angry
'Not Too Amused' by Sebadoh.
righteous fury.
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!
*Sorry, I meant 'Try these on for size'....
