"The Curse of an Aching Heart" (Feb. 10, 2006)

(Week 28)

In honor of Valentine's Day, I've decided to give solace to the unattached and those in lousy relationships. Radio listening tends to be a solitary activity--internet radio listening is decidedly so. The playlist below goes out with heartfelt sympathy to the singletons and the unhappily-in-love. We've all been there!
