Brightest Young Things


Just in case last week was not enough.

"It's a well-known fact that I am a complete and utter sap around Valentine's Day (Rom-com marathons? Of course I'll be watching! Heart-shaped pancakes with strawberries? Fork 'em over!!). So in the spirit of VDay, I decided to put together a mix of some of my all-time fave love songs. I tried to represent various kinds of love and their attendant emotions, so there are a couple of good angry/pathetic love songs in here as well.

I should also mention that I did most of this at 3am after significant wine consumption. Let's just say that it's a bit free-associative, so please forgive the cheesiness and bad song transitions.

So what'd I leave out? Add your own faves in the comments.

Oh, and Stephin Merritt - I'm sorry."

God loves a cheerful giver.
