Is that beep beep beep of the Dump Truck still fresh in your head? Still got pieces of a decidedly douchey ex still stuck in your teeth and looking for a bone to pick with? Well search no longer and open this sweepstakes because you’ve won an all inclusive trip for the forlorn and unexpectedly single- a pop therapeutic musical safari!!
This is the second installment of the Pop Therapy series, and apparently the shoe is now on the other foot. If you’re lucky, like I sometimes am, and find yourself wearing a pair of those Karl Lagerfelds and needed an excuse for just one last dance down memory lane kicking up your heels the entire way (bang bang!!), well here’s a soundtrack to set your interpretive dance routine to.
For this self healing journey I unprofessionally recommend bringing your favorite hairbrush to sing and scream into. Let the emotions rise up like an embittered sour dough and then when you’re all worked up and a hot hot mess, enjoy being able to give a toast to the memories. And that’s it. Just the memories because if you and the significant other broke up it was because the relationship was broken to begin with.
We’re classy consumers over here so the next stop for anything broken is naturally the dump. Toss it all out. Or burn it down. I know I did. And they’ll never be able to pin it on me because I know enough not to use accelerants nor to burn a pair of Nikes in a bathtub.
This program is a 12 step because, well, getting dumped sucks a lot more than having to break up with someone- the shit end of the stick always stinks, let’s face it, and that requires at least 2 more steps if not more. So here are the tracks and below them a link to the .zip file. This time it’s for free because when someone flips you and the ‘relationship’ the bird, and leaves you all alone sometimes you have to give in order to realize that you are fine how you are, and if you can provide for others, you can definitely provide for yourself and make it on your own. Or something.

You aren’t alone because you have us, your Teletypists, and together we can work it out. Those of us in the lonely hearts club, as much as we shun the Beatles, are really better off alone than in a relationship that probably wasn’t going to go much further. And now, it’s a little more peaceful without the screaming and fighting and hopefully this mix can offer a means to begin your own self-healing journey.
Hugs,
