Ok, so the last time I did my “Music on a Theme” post it was about “Love Songs.” From the same cache of cassettes where I found my Love Songs tapes, there were also some that were compiled in what you might call the aftermath of love. I wouldn’t really call them “hate” songs, but definitely a bit “bitter,” to say the least. Unfortunately, none of these cassettes have dates on them, so I’ll just have to guess from the music that’s on them.  I’m pretty sure I made them all in the late 90’s or there abouts.
