50 Years of Heartache & Heartbreak

It occurred to me yesterday that this week's episode of The Dark End Of The Street would fall on Valentine's Day. I'm a bit slow on the uptake, I realize, but I considered it a very appropriate revelation nonetheless.

In light of the convenient overlap, I decided to create a Valentine's Day special of sorts, entitled "50 Years of  Heartache & Heartbreak." I'll be playing 15 of my favourite songs about lost love and loneliness, running chronologically from 1963 to the present. The playlist includes Bob Dylan, Al Green, The Guess Who, Nazareth, R.E.M., and some modern-day favourites as well, and covers each of the last five decades. The crowning jewel though, in my humble opinion, will be Foreigner's "I Wanna Know What Love Is":

So, if this sounds enticing to you, tune in here from 8-9 tonight and prepare to wallow the night away. If you're reading this and you missed the broadcast, have no fear! You can find the podcasts here, and tonight's episode should be up early next week.

Happy Valentine's Day!
