Valentine’s Day lurks just around the corner, waiting to trip you up with chocolate hearts, flying Cupids, lacy sentimental cards and expectations of romantic trysts. But what about the lovelorn masses abandoned by their feckless paramours? Who cares for the bitter wallflower who glowers at the oblivious lovers? And who will acknowledge the beleaguered partner who is desperately attempting to extract themselves from an obtrusive relationship?
Fear not non-lovers of the world. Songwriters everywhere have been recording the audacious, thoughtless, even vicious nature of love. Come February 13th WYEP’s Anti-Valentine’s Day show will try to keep the world in balance with an alternative view of the holiday with some of the best songs written about the vulgarity of love.
If you have a favorite song about bad love, no love, or too much love, send your ideas my way. I’m Rosemary Welsch and I’ll be your host for WYEP’s Anti-Valentine’s Day Show on Friday, February 13th from 2 until 6pm. Feel free to include details about how the song relates to some of your worst experiences in the pursuit of (or away from) love!

Whether you love our Top 12 Pittsburgh Performance Project venue picks, or are ready to trash the dressing room in a fit of rage, it’s undeniable that you have some great memories of Pittsburgh concerts.
We asked you to submit your favorite recollections of live music. Here are a few of them–we’ll be posting memories every few days. Make sure to post your own comments and memories below!
“A local band sang at the Decade in June 1986, ‘Don’t go to Kiev. Don’t go to Kiev. There’s radiation there, you’re gonna lose your hair. Don’t go to Kiev.’ So irreverent when everyone was leary of the impact of the Chernobyl cloud.” - Sara S.
“I was living in Erie when West View Park closed down and became the suburban eyesore it is today, but my parents raved about Danceland, where they met. My Mother still has her dance card, and many fond memories of big bands and riding the trolleys from Mount Oliver to West View. Everyone from Duke Ellington to The Rolling Stones played there.” - Anonymous WYEP listener
“A most memorable show for me occurred at Soldiers and Sailors in Oakland which featured Patty Griffin, Emmylou Harris, Bruce Cockburn, Steve Earl and Shawn Colvin. I remember that you could hear a pin drop in there, especially when Patty sang.” - K.D.
Don’t forget to sign up for WYEP’s Pittsburgh Performance Project launch party on July 18th!
