The Best Anti-Valentine’s Day Playlist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms94bEkYm4o
1. Talking Heads – I’m Not in Love
I’ve sat in a packed room and listened to David Byrne recite his Ted talk about “how architecture helped music evolve.” When David Byrne talks, people listen…with reverence. And so when he says, “I believe there is a time when we won’t need love,” how can you not believe him?
2. Turbo Fruits – Murder
The Turbo Fruits are rowdy and gritty. Not only will they do something devious, but they will celebrate it. You should feel free to live accordingly.
3. Agent Orange – Bloodstains
This song is about reveling in chaos. It’s about those times when I so wish I had a car, so that I could drive with the windows down on the highway and honk at whomever I please.

4. Alex Chilton – All I Really Want is Money
It feels really good when someone that could have anyone denounces love. He doesn’t expect you to understand, but he also doesn’t even really want you to. What a babe. Sigh.
5. Au Pairs – Dear John
The Au Pairs are great at telling people off, while still giving you something to dance to. And, of course, the words “Dear John, find a sex machine,” are the very best way to start a letter.
