This is our second Valentines/Anti-Valentines Day Special.

Then there was a block of songs themed around loneliness and alienation. That was followed by a block of tracks about misanthropy and hatred, then a block of revenge and retribution song. We had a special block at midnight about uh… black gloves and discipline. Then we closed with a block of songs about “love” or whatever.
