[mixtape club #3] breakup songs

Artist Song
solomon burke  got to get you off my mind 
otis redding  i've been loving you too long 
jimmy ruffin  what becomes of the brokenhearted? 
toussant mccall  nothing takes the place of you 
king pleasure  what can i say after i say i'm sorry? 
smokey robinson & the miracles  the love i saw in you was just a mirage 
elvis presley  are you lonesome tonight? (las vegas, 1969 - laughing version) 
bob dylan  don't think twice, it's all right 
don gibson  oh lonesome me 
the byrds  you're still on my mind 
hank williams  i'm so lonesome i could cry 
johnny cash  guess things happen that way 
patsy cline  i fall to pieces 
loretta lynn  if you're not gone too long 
souled american  if you don't want my love 
mouse & the traps  you don't love me, you don't care 
the lyres  teach me to forget you 
the merrymakers  i'll feel a whole lot better 
the names  why can't it be 
the action  since i lost my baby 
? & the mysterians  96 tears 
love  always see your face 
the monks  i hate you 
the rocks  i won't need you when you're dead 
lassigue bendthaus  jealous guy (poeme syncope) 
young marble giants  brand-new-life 

Comment:

part three of the bsr mixtape club series (1, 2). despite what greg kihn would have you believe, they do write breakup songs, and here's my mix of them. accompanied by a faux break-up letter constructed out of the song titles that works pretty well until 96 tears, which kind of ruins the effect.

Some brilliant stuff here and I like the ordering of it. (I would have thrown in some Sam Kinison, I think, but that's about it.)
