CARLY BLAIR: WEEKLY PLAYLIST

SUBBACULTCHA! VALENTINE'S MIX
(Featuring the likes of Of Montreal, YYYs, Daniel Johnston and The Talking Heads...)


Don't fall in love with me yet
We only recently met
True I'm in love with you but
you might decide I'm a nut
Give me a week or two to
go absolutley cuckoo
then, when you see your error,
then, you can flee in terror
like everybody else does
I only tell you this cause
I'm easy to get rid of
but not if you fall in love
Know that I'm the make
and if you make a mistake
my heart will certainly break
I'll have to jump in a lake
and all my friends will blame you
There's no telling what they'll do
It's only fair to tell you
I'm absolutely cuckoo

The Magnetic Fields - Absolutely Cuckoo

 Regardless of whether you think Valentine's Day is filled with romantic promise, or a great excuse to extravagantly express your love for your significant other, or an annual source of stupid arguments with said lover, or total commercial bull shit (AKA you're single, ha!), you can't deny that all the media coverage (ahem) gets you thinking about love, one way or another. With that in mind, I hereby present a Subbacultcha! Valentine's Day mix, rife with mixtape classics. Songs about love, for anybody who's ever been in love. It might rip your guts out, it might elate you, much like love itself. Enjoy, and remember: when you love somebody and bite your tongue, all you get is a mouth full of blood. OK!
