Love and Hearbreak: Heartbreak

It's up now, the second part of the project that became Love and Heartbreak.
1 Hour of Music in 20 Minutes- Love and Heartbreak Part Two: Heartbreak

Heartbreaking songs are such favourites of mine that I had no trouble finding a selection, but I didn't think it was enough to just play a series of sad songs. I wanted to examine why heartbreak happens and how it is represented in songs. One line that I ended up cutting from the programme said that maybe heartbreak was the product of an insufficient aqcuaintance with ourselves. That heartbreak can only result from some form of miscommunication, deliberate or incidental... I cut it because it sounded too preachy :)

I now have a playlist in my iTunes called non-love heartbreakers, to file away the songs that I thought might work but turned out weren't really about relationships.

I'll load up the entire list of track I used soon, but in the meantime, please enjoy the programme.

I'm working on the next few 1in20s, but **also** - if you happen to be in Melbourne this Friday July 6th, come and hear me DJ live at Loop Bar (23 Meyers Place, Melbourne) from 10pm. I'll be joined by Chestwig 5001 and MBug for the first of a new dance club night called Space Station. You will hear music from Star Wars, as well as Hot Chip, !!!, The Smiths etc.
