Valentine’s Day 2009
I am sure a lot of you at there are playing big plans for this forthcoming weekend. I wanted to go see Los Campesinos! And Titus Andronicus but I was lazy and didn’t get tickets in time. So, it seemed like a natural a time for a list of some tracks out there for you young lovers. The list should fit snuggly on a CD if you wanted to make your special friend a nice gift. Some of these are technically “love songs” but I did my best. I included a few audio links for a few select tracks as well.
The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition
Flying Burrito Brothers – Hot Burrito #1
Passion Pitt – Sleepyhead
It was made as a Valentine’s present so it seems fitting to be on the list.
Heavenly – C Is The Heavenly Option
Calvin Johnson with Heavenly how can it get better than this. The song was also covered last year by Los Campesinos! But nothing compares to hearing Calvin Johnson and Amelia Fletcher singing together.
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart – This Love Is Fucking Right
The Walkmen – In The New Year
The National – Apartment Story
Frankie Valli – Can’t Take My Eyes Off You
The quintessential love song. No matter what type of music you are into this will always be a special song.
Super Furry Animals – Hello Sunshine
The only love song you will ever find with the lyrics “I’m a minger You’re a minger too So come on minger I want to ming with you”
Lemon Jelly – 75 Aka Stay With You
St. Vincent — Marry Me
Animal Collective — My Girls
