Mixtape Monday: Please, there's no need for a temporary restraining order...

While most songs moan about unrequited love, these tracks take it to the next level. Here are songs to play when you're doing your "research" on Facebook featuring Blondie, Audioslave, Death Cab for Cutie and many more. 

P.S. We don't exactly condone stalking, but don't we all get obsessed with someone from time to time (always)? Play this and then go out to do something productive.
