Notes this week/Favourite lyrics:

• The Vinaigrettes: "I think your bitterness after all these years is infantile/I thought by now you'd have got on with your life/I've got a life now that doesn't include heartache or you."
• Lou Reed: "The ozone layer has no ozone anymore/And you're gonna leave me for the guy next door/ I'm sick of you."
• Ben Folds: I know the standard B.F hate song is "Song For The Dumped" but this one resonated with me once during a nasty break-up so it wins this time around: "I know that you went straight to someone else/ While I worked through all this shit here by myself/ And I think that you should spend some time alone/ But if you won't/ Then you won't/ And I will consider you gone."
• Blake Babies: This whole song is worth writing out but the fave lyric has got to be: "I know a liar/ His name is Cupid/ I may be dumb but I'm not stupid."
• Stars: "I loved you the most/ You threw out the pieces."
• The Reverend H.H: the best angsty break-up song ever probably: "BITCH! I want my 400 dollars/ I want my 400 dollars and I want it right now/ Give it to me!"
• Bob Dylan: "Yes, I wish that for just one time/ You could stand inside my shoes/ You'd know what a drag it is/ To see you."
• Camera Obscura: "Sick of the sight of my old lover/ Went under sheets and covers to get away from him."
• Adam Green: Nothing says love quite like this: "It don't mean I don't love you/ When I put a gun to your face."
• The Replacements: "How do you say I miss you to/An answering machine?/How do you say good night to/An answering machine?/How do you say I'm lonely to/An answering machine?/The message is very plain/Oh, I hate your answering machine."
• Ani Difranco: "I hate to say it but/ you're perfect together/So fuck you/and your untouchable face/And fuck you/for existing in the first place/And who am I/that I should be vying for your touch/And who am I/Ibet you can't even tell me that much."
• Neko, perfect perfect Neko: "So go ahead with all your sweet talkin'/Go ahead for all the good it can do/Have yourself a dime's worth of talkin'/Then I'm gonna hang right up on you."
• Elvis Costello: "You like coffee and you like tea/ Much more than you like me."
• Liz Phair: "I can't believe you had a life before me" followed later by "I saw hips, I saw thighs/ I saw secret positions that we never try/ I saw jealousy."
• The Donnas: Again, a great hate song for so many reasons but here's some gems: "No, I don't want your eggs & bacon/And when I kissed you, I was fakin'!" and "I thought you were The One/But baby, you're no fun!" and "You were hot till you took off your shirt/So skinny babe makes my eyes hurt." and "There's somethin' missin' in your head/And I've got no room for you in my bed!"
• Juliana Hatfield: "Fight over dinner/ Put on weight/ If you change your sweatpants/ I'll shave my legs."
• Otis Redding: the love song for the night and dedicated to Marc -- the first song we ever danced to and what we danced to alone in our living room after our garden wedding.
