Happy Valentine's Day (Don't Get Dumped)

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’ve made a Valentine’s playlist. I’m sure everyone has more or less soundtracked the day, and these are by no means the only songs that pop into my head. But they’re among the most consistent offenders on Feb. 14ths over the years. Some you may have heard these songs, some you may not have. If you haven’t heard them, I encourage you to follow the links I’ve provided, or to track them down yourself.

1. Beat Happening - You Turn Me On

2. The Raveonettes - Last Dance

3. Carmaig DeForest - So Happy Together (see next post)

4. Nick Lowe - Tonight (inexplicably tough to find in cyberspace)

5. Scott Walker - Angelica
