the key is to make sure i get my claws into you

i wasn't really feeling today or this week for that matter, not really feeling valentine's day either. showered for the first time since friday [totally true; also finally washed that email address sharpie-d down my left arm], left the house for the first time in two days, ate a big meat sandwich and two cupcakes [thinking about a third] -- spirits were lifted. ahoy.

valentine's day, whatever. no one to love but friends and family. and love songs and un-love songs. enjoy:

straight-up love song/miraculous genesis cover:
red house painters -- follow you, follow me

taking-it-back foundational emo love song:
rites of spring -- all there is

the crush song:
superchunk -- detroit has a skyline [acoustic goodie]

the debilitating break-up song:
songs: ohia -- goodnight lover

the "you're dead but i still love you" song:
suede -- the next life

the pre-sex/striptease song:
party of helicopters -- slowdance

the sex song:
massive attack -- inertia creeps
