"Breakups are never fun, especially when they happen first thing in the morning. And when your job as a therapist is to help other people fix their problems when you can&amp;apos;t even seem to figure out your own, it&amp;apos;s even worse. Such is the painfully hilarious setup Lena Dunham crafts for the video to &amp;quot;I Wanna Get Better,&amp;quot; the first single from Bleachers singer (and Dunham&amp;apos;s boyfriend) Jack Antonoff.\r\nCheck out Bleachers&amp;apos; Debut LP and 26 More Albums You Have to Hear This Spring\r\nAfter being dumped before breakfast, Antonoff heads to work, where the song&amp;apos;s lyrics are lip-synced by his cadre of increasingly bizarre clients (though not before he spills coffee on his crotch): There&amp;apos;s the snotty teen, the out of control 20-something, the crazed housewife, the neurotic type-A businessman and the loveless couple (one half of which is played by Retta, a.k.a Donna from Parks and Recreation).\r\nWhile the focus is Antonoff&amp;apos;s blistering pop number, Dunham gets a chance to throw in some of her signature humor as well, from the clip&amp;apos;s opening line &amp;#x2013; &amp;quot;Roxy, your ketchup toast is ready!&amp;quot; &amp;#x2013; to the dogs the 20-something&amp;apos;s parents give her each time she has an abortion to Retta&amp;apos;s closing response to her husband&amp;apos;s excuse that he just got out of a coma: &amp;quot;Are you gonna keep using that?&amp;quot; When none of Antonoff&amp;apos;s psychologically sanctioned solutions work, the one true fix presents itself when he imagines a bombastic closing scene where he bashes out the song&amp;apos;s final chorus backed by his clients.\r\nBleachers&amp;apos; debut album is scheduled to hit shelves sometime this spring, though Antonoff already has a handful of live dates lined up in the coming months, including sets at New York&amp;apos;s Governor&amp;apos;s Ball&amp;#xA0;and the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware.\r\n&amp;quot;I see the live show like an E Street Band with synths,&amp;quot; Antonoff recently told Rolling Stone. &amp;quot;Everyone will probably have synths and live drums and I want it to be a playground of all those things. The media jerk reaction is &amp;apos;It&amp;apos;s just a side project.&amp;apos; One of the quickest ways to get rid of that is to go out and tour. I didn&amp;apos;t make the album so i could put it out and forget about it. It&amp;apos;s just the beginning.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
