blue valentine
This week: Valentine's Day - load o' pish, right? Tacky, cynical, overpriced, existing only to cause tension between couples and make singles feel sorry for themselves. But enough about us (http://instantrimshot.com). Since you'd expect nothing more cheerful from an LOTD Valentine show, this week we're going to chart the demise of a conceptual relationship song by ever-more-depressing song, from the initial ask-me-out euphoria of The Marvelettes through the bleaker-than-bleak bathroom-based break-up of Arab Strap and eventually the wearily acceptant 'here's looking at you, kid' of Beirut. Also, since Pixies have the #1 Record for the week, there'll probably be whores somewhere in there too. Yup. Whole lotta whores.
