Valentine’s Day is the ideal time of year for a mixtape. Almost every band has at least a few songs devoted to love, heartache or gettin’ intimate. Whether you’ve got someone special or just want to celebrate being single and awesome, here’s my mix for you. It’s a little bit of every possible Valentine’s Day sentiment.
1) “Girl Is On My Mind” by the Black Keys off of “Rubber Factory”
2) “Close to Me” by the Cure off of “Head On The Door”
3) “Still In Love With You” by Thin Lizzy off of “Nightlife”
4) “I Can Get Us Out of Here Tonight” by Lucero off of “Rebels, Rogues and Sworn Brothers”
5) “Girlfriend Is Better” by the Talking Heads off of “Speaking In Tongues”
6) “A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off” by the Magnetic Fields off of “69 Love Songs”
7) “Always Leaving” by Spoonboy off of “I love you, this is a robbery”
8) “La La Love You” by the Pixies off of “Doolittle”
9) “Romance” by R.E.M. off of “Eponymous”
10) “Pretty In Pink” by the Psychedelic Furs off of “All of This and Nothing”

I want to express thanks to the writer for rescuing me from this particular issue. Just after exploring through the world wide web and seeing proposals which were not productive, I thought my entire life was gone. Existing without the presence of approaches to the difficulties you have fixed by means of your entire post is a serious case, as well as the ones which may have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not encountered your web blog. That training and kindness in touching every aspect was very useful. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not encountered such a solution like this. It’s possible to at this point look forward to my future. Thank you very much for this impressive and results-oriented help. I will not be reluctant to refer your web site to any individual who ought to have tips about this matter.
