The Hippie Chick

Love it or loathe it, it's here. Valentine's Day.

I come bearing Spotify playlists. Something for everyone. There's Love, for the romantics who do celebrate today. I also have Stupid Cupid, something for those who are more anti hearts and flowers. Warning: that one contains some coarse language among the lyrics.

Enjoy and Happy Valentine's Day!

Love.

Stupid Cupid.



ALSO:

I just watched Darren Aronofsky's mother!. And I feel some way about it, but not sure what. I was thinking of doing a post / review. Let me know if you want it and I'll do it.

Happy Valentine's day, Singles Awareness Day, Commercial Expression of Love Day, whatever you choose to call it. As I do every year I counteract the love songs, hearts and flowers with my own little playlist of Anti Valentine's Day songs!

As I do every year, I post an ANTI Valentine's Day Mix. I'll post a download later after work if there are enough people that want it, but here are the tracks :

1. 99 Problems - DJ Danger Mouse. This is from "The Grey Album", a mashup of the Beatles' White Album and Jay-Z's "Black Album".

2. Dead Flowers - The Rolling Stones.

3. Get Gone - Fiona Apple.

4. I Hope You're Happy Now - Elvis Costello. "You make him sound like frozen food, his love will last forever..." "I knew then what I know now I never loved you anyhow and I hope you're happy now." This has to be the most spiteful song ever written. I love it.

5. Love Bites - Def Leppard.

6. Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday - Stevie Wonder. "Those yester dreams were just a cruel and foolish game we had to play."

7. I'm Not In Love - 10cc.

10. With or Without You - U2

11. Disintegration - The Cure

And finally The Cure leads me to...

"Somebody Kill Me" by Adam Sandler from the movie "The Wedding Singer".
