So as I sit here looking out the window at snow... again... and thinking about how Punxatawney Phil saw his shadow this year which means there's at least two more weeks left of winter (since that was four weeks ago) I figured: never underestimate the power of positive thinking, and decided to make an extra long set of songs all about the sun. Enjoy!

So I was trying to come up with a Valentine's Day sort of theme, I was originally going to do songs with "heart" in the titles... but had way too many songs and couldn't decide which ones I wanted more than others. In the meantime I have been archiving my old websites and came across the setlist for January 19, 2000's episode "Love Stinks" which was always one of my favorites.

As is probably obvious, I had just had a really bad breakup about 4 months prior to the episodes original airing, so it's not really nice and fluffy. I kept all the same songs (so no need for the usual flashback asterisks) just reorganized them into a better mix. There are also two "blocks" in this set as I had far less CDs back in 2000 than I have now, so hope you really like Prozzak and "Weird Al" Yankovic a lot.

As far as the title, it is named after a party a friend of mine in college used to throw every Valentine's day, in which you were not allowed to do anything Valentiney whatsoever (no dates, no hooking up while at the party, etc.). Stictly meant as an antithesis to the entire holiday, so I thought it appropriate.
