About 20 years ago, just as "new wave" was waning, the college station at UC Berkeley had a great Valentine's day show called "Love or Lust". People called in their favorite songs that typified one or the other.
Another year, they did an hour of "not in love" songs, such as Joe Jackson's "Happy Loving Couples" and Roxy Music's "Running WIld.
Heh. I'd add to that list:
- anything by The Smiths or Morrissey
- _Ciao_ by Lush
- _Ribbons_ by the Sisters of Mercy
Any other candidates for the Essential Valentine's Day Mix Tape?
Valentine's Day coincides with my birthday. So there's double reason for some people to overdo(se) their affective correctness and purchase flowers and the like in bulk .-)
well, it's only 2 weeks away.
