That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Closed Threads

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sweet! The album version of "Dimming of the Day" goes into the plaintive bagpipe-tune-as-played-on-guitar "Dargai". The live version of "A Heart Needs a Home" on Watching the Dark is exquisite for Da Luff, too.

Other good semi-obscure folk-indie love songs:

  • The Silos, "The Only Story I Tell" - The Silos
  • Graham Parker, "Love Gets You Twisted" - Squeezing Out Sparks
  • Freakwater, "My One Desire" - Old Paint (yes, this is the Ricky Nelson song)
  • Jayhawks, "Blue" - Tomorrow The Green Grass
  • Wilco, "Pick Up the Change" - AM
  • Uncle Tupelo, "The Long Cut" - Anodyne
  • Replacements, "Kiss Me On The Bus" - Tim (this ought to be your lead-off track)
  • Beat Happening, "Cast a Shadow" - Black Candy or "Godsend" - You Turn Me On
  • Yo La Tengo, "You Can Have It All" - ...and then nothing, etc.
  • The Raincoats, "No Side To Fall In" - s/t
  • The Mekons, "Last Dance" - Fear & Whiskey
  • Gene Clark, "Here Tonight" - Roadmaster & American Dreamer
  • If Big Star's "I'm In Love With A Girl" doesn't work, try "Dream Lover" off of Third.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

I'm a big fan of Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic," Victoria William's "Love," and um, all of Al Green?

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Gene Clark, "Here Tonight" - Roadmaster & American Dreamer

Or combine the twin obsessions and go with RT's cover of "Here Without You", with help from Clive Gregson & Christine Collister, "who are absolutely fab and you can buy their record on the way out, you mugs, you suckers you! You've got all that good Republican money jinglin' in your pocket get out there and spend some, get those CDs!" (The recording is from the Bayou in DC & it was recorded the night before the 1988 elections.)

Thank you for the suggestions, everyone.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Thanks for the iTunes help, Teppy!

As for love songs, hmmm...

I keep thinking I should have a suggestion, but my mind is drawing a blank.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yeah, I made two mix tapes of love songs, but when I think about, they are mostly one sided love songs or bitter. I was a teenager.

"Green Eyes" -- Husker Du

There's a song for people with green eyes? That makes me so very happy.

(I'm the one with the green eyes -- P.'s are kind of blue-grey. But I know songs about people with blue eyes already.)

I see time on EMusic in my future ... might even reinstall Kazaa.

Yeah, it's a pretty one, too. On Flip Your Wig.
