I woke up on the porch swing, my copy of gideon's bible open to the gospel of luke, the sound of the Vivian Girls wafting out from the hall. I want to die.

Thank God for Louisiana. Mardi Gras, drown my sorrows in cheap vodka and plastic beads.
Also: I've taken a liking to titus andronicus in times such as these. Really put you in the mood for love.

Yeah, this mix is for me. I mean, it's Friday night and I'm reading Stereogum.

I like the list with the exception of the Vivian Girls. I may just listen to the first two Bright Eyes albums and cry myself to sleep.

I woke up at 434 this morning on my bike, indifferent and with the Robitussin shakes and once again felt alone on this very "special" day (my bike is a tandem).

Is this post really called "Love Bites"? You guys are right. Love does bite, at least it did in 1991...

There's a great line in Los Campesinos!'s 'We Are Accelerated Readers': "The opposite of true love is as follows: REALITY!"

The End

How about the entire Gentleman album by Afghan Whigs. Quite possibly one of the greatest anti-romance albums ever. A tad misogynistic perhaps, but odds are you will have trouble finding Debonair or Be Sweet on someone's Valentine's Day mix.

Excellent! This provided a perfect antithesis to the Valentines playlist my friend made me, which also happened to be 45 minutes :)

putting a bunch of recently released, or 'of the moment' tracks in a list doesn't really constitute a themed "mix"...

One glaring exception...the Mountain Goats "No Children". Probably the best anti-love song ever
