East Coasters, tonight there will probably be no fancy dinners, no surprise flower deliveries and any Valentine’s Day plans you may have had will probably be cancelled. Yea, thanks for that, shitty snowstorm. But don’t worry, you can now join the rest of the single population, many who don’t really celebrate the Hallmark-marketed day of love and sappiness.
If you’re lucky enough to be on our own on this dreadful holiday, here are few songs to get you through the day. Consider this your Anti-Valentine’s Day playlist.
HateFuck – The Bravery
Free as a Bird – Beetles
Def Leopard – Love Bites
Get Rid of That Girl – The Donnas
Lauryn Hill – X Factor
99 Problems – Hugo
Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra – Do it with a Rockstar
Friend Crush – Friends
Long Legged Guitar Pickin’ Man – Johnny Cash & June Carter
Why Do You Only Call Me When You’re High? – Arctic Monkeys
Marvin’s Room – Drake
Drop Dead Baby – Ty Segall & Mike Cronin
Single – Lil’ Wayne
Beyonce – Irreplaceable
PS. A special thanks to Miriam, Alex and my finished bottle of red wine for contributing to this list.
