sweetbitter

 

I have finished creating my mixdisc for The Exciting Mixdisc Swap!

The theme is Radical Love Storm. I decided to pick fast paced love songs that range from sweet to very, very bitter.

Unfortunately, with 8Tracks you lose order. So here is the track listing, if interested. I've also included a favorite quote from the lyrics for my enjoyment.

1. Magic Penny by Malvina Reynolds
   "Love is something if you give it away you end up having more."
2. Songs Of Love by The Divine Comedy
   "Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice...."
3. Love Potion No. 9 by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass Band
   No lyrics in this version.
4. Ideal Woman by William Shatner
   "It's you I fell in love with: your turn of phrase, your sensitivity, your irrational moods."
5. You Can't Get A Man With A Gun from Annie Get Your Gun
   "A man never trifles with gals who carry rifles."
6. I Only Want A Buddy Not A Sweetheart by Patsy Montana
   "I was a fool but just like in school, I've learned my lesson, you see."
7. Hiro's Song by Ben Folds
   "They say I'm crazy and it's temporary but I refuse to rot like my contemporaries."
8. Babies by Pulp
   "I know you won't believe it's true; I went with her 'cause she looked like you, my God!"
9. Walk on Me by Ben Kweller
   "Love is supposed to be this bad. Make you cry stupid shady sad."
10. Tears Dry On Their Own by Amy Winehouse
    "I should just be my own best friend, not fuck myself in the head with stupid men."
11. Most Likely You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine by Bob Dylan
    "You say you told me that you want to hold me but you know you're not that strong."
12. Bitch Went Nutz by Ben Folds
    "I hoped one day to mold you into the perfect wife but you blew my hopes sky high."
13. Run For Your Life by The Beatles
