Anybody know of any good Indie/Alt/Folk/ etc. breakup songs?

I'm a 23 year old naive hopeless romantic and my first boyfriend just broke up with me after a few months. I was falling hard while he was passing the time between careers apparently...





Anyway i'm making a breakup play-list and i'm looking for good, well written Indie/Alt/Folk (and so on) breakup songs to remind me that he's an a** and i'm better off without him. Any kind really; the ones that tear you up[Alone-Ben Harper], make you laugh[Packs of Three-Arab Strap], cause breakthroughs [Ambulance LTD - Primitive], and help you move on [Cake - I Will Survive]


Just as long as it isn't a Jonas Brothers song or anything like that....
