Valentine's Day Panic!

Mixtape
Photo by greenapplegrenade

Don’t have anything ready for tomorrow?

Make a mixtape for your beloved! This way you get to impress them with your taste & seduce them at the same time! Of course, it doesn’t have to be on an actual cassette — make them a playlist for their MP3 player or burn them a CD if it makes more sense. Remember to decorate the case!

“To me, making a tape is like writing a letter — there’s a lot of erasing and rethinking and starting again. A good compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do. You’ve got to kick off with a corker, to hold the attention (I started with “Got to Get You Off My Mind,” but then realized that she might not get any further than track one, side one if I delivered what she wanted straightaway, so I buried it in the middle of side two), and then you’ve got to up it a notch, or cool it a notch, and you can’t have white music and black music together, unless the white music sounds like black music, and you can’t have two tracks by the same artist side by side, unless you’ve done the whole thing in pairs and… oh, there are loads of rules.” — Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

Because putting songs together is fun, here is my prototype mixtape for you, my nonpareils!

<3 Michael Jackson – This Place Hotel
<3 Timbaland – Give It To Me
<3 Notorious B.I.G. – Another
<3 Madonna – Nobody Knows Me
<3 DJ Magnet – Love Comes Running Up That Hill Quickly
<3 Atmosphere – The Woman With The Tattooed Hands
<3 Mary J. Blige – About You
<3 Souls Of Mischief – 93 ‘til Infinity
<3 Flight Of The Conchords – Bret You’ve Got It Going On
<3 Magnetic Fields – I Wish I Had An Evil Twin
<3 Otis Redding – Try A Little Tenderness
<3 Garbage – The Trick Is To Keep Breathing
<3 Atmosphere – Say Hey There
<3 Dryft – Avatar
<3 The Dead Texan – When I See Scissors, I Cannot Help But Think Of You
<3 Antony & The Johnsons – You Are My Sister
<3 Tegan & Sara – Back In Your Head

Though if I was making a mix for my lover, it might go something like this…

<3 Placebo – Bubblegun
<3 Madonna – Waiting
<3 Felt – Woman Tonight
<3 Cat Power – Where Is My Love
<3 Che Fu – Scene 3
<3 David Bowie – The Wedding Song
<3 Kate Nash – We Get On
<3 Lush – For Love
<3 Bic Runga – The Be All & End All
<3 N.E.R.D. – Stay Together

What would you put on a mixtape for your #1 crush?


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  5. if i was making a mixtape for a hypothetical crush/boyfriend, i’d have to stop myself from just taping the los campesinos! album… the mix would probably end up something like:

    los campesinos! – it started with a mixx
    magnetic fields – (crazy for you) but not that crazy
    the decemberists – red right ankle
    marine girls – honey
    suede – the drowners
    boyracer – he gets me so hard
    jeremy warmsley – 5 verses
    the felt tips – boyfriend devoted
    final fantasy – the power of love (live cover)
    kenickie – come out 2nite

    with a nice mix of happy and melancholy. i’m now going to turn this into an itunes playlist i think…

    <3 charly · Feb 13, 05:33 AM · #
  6. “Fields of Gold” by Sting
    “Hallelujah” by… well, the trick here is to pick the cover version you like most.

    <3 Tim Hamilton · Feb 13, 05:37 AM · #
  7. I was slightly disturbed to find out that my iPod has a limited number of love songs, haha.
    But I found a couple I’d put on a mix tape:
    Real Love cover – Regina Spektor
    O Yeah – End of Fashion
    My Heart – Paramore
    Beat Your Heart Out – The Distillers
    And then something totally random like Damn You Look Good And I’m Drunk – Cobra Starship, woo!

    <3 Miri · Feb 13, 05:50 AM · #
  8. Singing in my sleep by semisonic is the best – a love song about a mix tape.

    I used to make mixed cds for my ex all the time a few years ago. Maybe I should have stuck with him because he’s the only person who understood my taste in music :)

    I’m going to go listen to radiohead and old garbage now….

    <3 Song · Feb 13, 05:57 AM · #
  9. anything by adam and the ants, siouxsie and the banshees, billy idol, david bowie.

  24. http://www.fredflare.com/customer/product.php?productid=3348&cat=309

    this USB is shaped like a mixtape. I think it’s kinda cute!

    <3 Tiffany · Feb 13, 11:16 AM · #
  25. My sweetie ‘fessed up his feelings the night before I left to go abroad (because that is how boys are!), and, while I was in Europe, I had my birthday. So, as part of my birthday gift when I got back, he gave me a mix CD with a song from every year. (He said he thought about using the #1 song on my birthday every year, but then “there would have been a lot of 50 Cent”.)

    The first song was Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy”. Awesome. I think I actually threw my hands in the air and said, “YES!” as soon as I heard that chord in the beginning.

    <3 Jeanne · Feb 13, 11:37 AM · #
  26. even better… make them a song!

  27. “The Party’s Crashing Us” by Of Montreal.

    “We made love like a pair of black wizards”
    is actually a line in it. So funny and awesome.

  28. i LOVE to make mix tapes for people.
    i love to put a variation of screamo, acoustic, electronica, classical all on the same tape – and the trick is to find somgs that will help you blend all types of music together, so that you can flow smoothly between genres.

    ps: flight of the conchords make me laugh so hard i have to pee.

    and tegan and sara are my not-so-secret lovers.

    ps: here are some songs about love by some kickbutt artists who you might not be familiar with:

    Regina Spektor:
    Fidelity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGTDRztaCCw

    Rilo Kiley:
    Silver Lining: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6-W3fCUok8

  32. Oh, this is fun! This morning my sweetie and I were in the kitchen belting out Aerosmith’s ‘What It Takes’, and then he picked up his guitar so we could really make a show-stopper of it. Don’t you love songs you remember every word to?

    My fave romantic song (wedding-appropriate) is Bon Jovi’s ‘The Distance’. Other courtship-style hits include:

    U2 ‘All I Want is You’,

    The Darkness ‘Friday Night’ (I swear that song was written for us),

    George Michael ‘Outside’,

    Edwin Starr ’25 Miles’,

    Conchords ‘Business Time’ (and also probably ‘If You’re Into It’ and ‘All the Ladies of the World’),

    Hear’Say ‘Sweet Alibi’,

    High School Musical ‘Start of Something New’,

    Robbie Williams ‘A Place to Crash’.

    <3 Alice · Feb 13, 03:42 PM · #
  35. this is what I’m doing for v-day! I found this really cool flash drive that comes in a mix tape case and I’m in the process of deciding songs.
    thanks for the ideas!
    I’ve been trying to pick a somewhat appropriate flight of the conchords song since he really loves the show…

    <3 Susan · Feb 13, 04:12 PM · #
  36. “Lets Pretend We’re Bunny Rabbits” by Magnetic Fields. I mean, cmon, it doesn’t get much better than –

    “I long to nibble your ears
    And do as bunnies do”

    <3 Kirstin · Feb 13, 04:24 PM · #
  37. My boyfriend wouldn’t want to listen to a mix tape I’d make him! Haha! He’s pretty set in his music tastes.

    But I am thinking of playing “Anyone Else But You” by the Moldy Peaches for him because that song is just so sweet.

    “Up up down down left right left right B A start. Just because we use cheats doesn’t mean we’re not smart.”

    Love it!

    <3 AmyTheFreak · Feb 13, 04:30 PM · #

  39. Hey, Gala, long time reader, first time commenter.

    I’m currently working on a CD for my boyfriend, who lives 535.3 miles from me, and therefore making my Valentine’s Day semi-miserable.

    Here is my current list; some things mean things to us as a couple, some things he just needs to listen to.

    La Valse d’Amelie- Amelie Soundtrack by Composer Yann Tiersen
    Tais Toi Mon Coeur- Dionysos [I strongly advise finding the music video to this song! It’s super cute!]
    Gigantic- The Pixies
    The Power of the Babe-Labyrinth Soundtrack
    Mussolini Vs. Stalin- Gogol Bordello
    Lets Go to Bed- The Cure
    Evig Pint- Kaizer’s Orchestra
    Paris is Burning- St. Vincent
    My Cat- Jack off Jill
    Hey There Delilah- Plain White T’s [Don’t make fun of me, it’s about a long distance relationship.]
    Hell- Squirrel Nut Zippers
    The Caterpillar- The Cure
    Mambo Italiano- Dean Martin? Frank Sinatra? Bob Merill?
    Danke Schoen- Wayne Newton
    Friday, I’m in Love- The Cure
    Son of a Widow- mewithoutYou
    I Will Follow You Into The Dark- Death Cab For Cutie

    Or something like that.

    Though, like it or not, the best upbeat song to sing to a crush is ‘Girlfriend’ by Avril Lavigne. Seriously. You know it is. DON’T TRY TO FIGHT IT!

    Love,
    Kate

    <3 Kate · Feb 13, 05:03 PM · #

    +All my loving – The Beatles

    +I want it to feel like love – The Hint
    +Thunder – Boys like Girls

    I love you so lets party mix…

    +My moves are white (white hot, that is) – Cobra Starship
    +Clothes off! – Gym class heroes ft Patrick
    +Wildcat – Ratatat

    One Of These Nights-Eagles
    I Go To Extremes-Billy Joel
    Soul Kitchen-The Doors

    I Want to Hold Your Hand- the Beatles

    I am in love with all these playlists- especially Kates. Mambo Italiano always brings back brilliant memories of holidays with my cousins- we get dressed up, drink martinis that match our clothes, and dance through the kitchen to the “big night” soundtrack. fabulous.
