A friend of mine puts together a "Tainted Love" Mix every Singles' Awareness Day (aka Valentine's Day). She has given me permission to share her list this year (not like she has rights to any of these songs, but she did compile them). Here is her post:

Just in time for Friday the 13th: Singles' Awareness Day!!!

Being a little more creative with it this year. Since I'm slowly in the process of reconstructing all my iPod playlists from the crash, I now present.... the Tainted Love Mix!! For all those songs about rejection, breakup bitterness, and stalkerish or otherwise unhealthy relationships.


1. This is a Lovesong...for the Loveless-- The Juliana Theory
2. Tainted Love-- Soft Cell
3. Break Your Heart-- Barenaked Ladies
4. I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better-- The Byrds
5. Somebody More Like You-- Nickel Creek
6. So Cruel-- U2
7. Merilee-- Clive (a local band--one of my friends' husbands is the drummer. Basically sounds like a drinking song for a girl who broke some guy's heart. Also, it features toy piano.)
8. Posession-- Sarah McLachlan
9. You Wanted More-- Tonic
10. Don't Leave Home-- Dido (the most stalkerish song I've ever heard, since it's disguised as a sweet and mushy one)
11. It Ain't Me Babe-- The Turtles (debated whether to do this or the Bob Dylan version, but this one eventually won)
12. Leave-- Matchbox 20
13. Ever Fallen in Love-- Pete Yorn
14. Love Stinks-- The J. Geils Band (yes, I know it's very, very 80s, which normally I can't stand, but this is THE quintessential anti-SA-day song!)
15. Loose Ends-- Imogen Heap
16. Shadowboxer-- Fiona Apple
17. Sweetest Thing-- U2
18. Can't Complain-- Nickel Creek
19. Push-- Matchbox 20
20. Wreck of the Day-- Anna Nalick
21. Amateur Lovers-- Switchfoot
22.Tired of Waiting for You-- The Kinks
23. Set Me Free-- The Supremes
24. Not About Love-- Fiona Apple
25. With or Without You-- U2
26. Love Stuff-- Hokus Pick
27. Anna Begins-- Counting Crows
28. Black Horse and the Cherry Tree-- KT Tunstall
29. Maddest Kind of Love-- Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
30. Lily (My One And Only)-- Smashing Pumpkins (heehee!)
31. This Is How A Heart Breaks-- Rob Thomas
32. Girl-- The Beatles
33. Set Me Free-- The Kinks
34. Love Me, Just Leave Me Alone-- Jewel
35. Black-- Pearl Jam
36. Stupid-- Sarah McLachlan
37. Married With Children-- Oasis
38. Coffee and Ciggarettes-- Augustana
39. Leave--Glen Hansard (from the Once soundtrack)
40. Run For Your Life-- The Beatles
41. Exit Music (for a Film)-- Radiohead (which is, of course, from the soundtrack of Romeo + Juliet-- what's a tainted love mix without some star-crossed lovers?)

My addition: The Stalker - Piebald.

Forgot to say: Additions are welcome!
