Songs for the Dumped: The Contest!

Thursday, February 14th, 2008 by Jeff Giles

All right, you’ve listened to us share the sordid details of some of our lowest “romantic” moments — now it’s your turn. But unlike us, you actually stand to win something for your pain.

Thanks to our friends at Total Assault, we’re proud to announce we’re giving away a copy of Things I’ve Learned from Women Who’ve Dumped Me, the new book edited by former Onion editor and Daily Show/Colbert Report producer Ben Karlin.

(Never heard of it? Take a look at my review of the book here.)

So here’s the deal: All day long, we’re opening up the comments here for your tales of woe, heartbreak, and heartwoe; at the close of business on Valentine’s Day, we’ll be convening in a grand Popdose jury and awarding a free book to the person with the best one. (All of our stories involved music — that isn’t a requirement for you, but it will earn you a few extra points.)

Ready? Let us have it!

Popdose represents the coming together of a veritable who's who of music bloggers and an ever-expanding roster of writers who've made it their mission to experience the best and worst in pop culture — from music to movies, TV, and books, with a dash of current events thrown in for good measure — so you don't have to. Popdose delivers coverage both in-depth (the all-encompassing Popdose Guides) and snarkily brief (the weekly Captain Video!), surveying releases both old and new. Visit often: the site publishes a minimum of twice a day.
