Back when I was doing my alternative country show, I used to do an anti-Valentines Day show every year featuring "songs of recrimination, remorse, revenge, and regret". Well, I have a girlfriend now, but a friend from the good old days convinced me to put together a compilation for the blog. So here goes.
