My Bloody Valentine

Love and romance is never on my mind. Especially for this cynical woman who hates anything commercial, sickly or pink. Sex is on my mind a lot of the time usually but right now, I don't think I'll ever do it again. I'm way too self conscious about scars inside and outside and that will be the case for a while. Also, I'm reading far too much and am concerned that it will never be the same again. I could (literally) have a test ride someone I've slept with before but it all seems far too clinical and nobody wants to be a guinea pig..

I thought in fitting with today and a Valentine's theme, I'll compile a list of my favourite 'love' songs or songs which make me think of these things along with a few comments too..and in no particular order

1. Lunachicks - Bad Ass Bitch - That's me...on a good day

2. Bikini Girl - Rebel Girl - 'in her kiss, I taste revolution' and 'I want to take you home and try on your clothes'. revolution + fashion = hot

3. Amy Winehouse - You know I'm no good - I'm wondering how many of them have thought that..

4. My Bloody Valentine - Soft as Snow - Reminds me of a fuzzy, slightly hungover, sunday morning shag with bad weather outside so no incentive to face the day whatsoever

5. PJ Harvey - Is this love? - Passion, lust or love? I really like this feeling (when it happens) and then I go all silly and defensive and ruin it all

6. PJ Harvey - Who the Fuck? - it often results in these feelings..

7. Sheela Na Gig - PJ Harvey - best song ever about masturbation

8. White Stripes - Fell in love with a girl - 2 minutes of charged craziness

9. Joy Division - Love will Tear Us Apart - ultimate song of screwed up love and relationships

10. The Smiths - How Soon is Now? - soundtrack of a angst ridden adolescence, 20's and sometimes erm..30's

11. The Cure - Just like Heaven - love the dark, quirky and cutesy feel to this sweet song

12. The Breeders - Doe - a song about BJs? Not my favourite thing on the menu but a lovely song

13. Pavement - Shady Lane - not much to do with love and so on..but I just really like it

14. Smashing Pumpkins - Today - I believe I've felt this and sexy video too

15. Dinosaur Junior - Freak Scene - wonderful song! I may have snogged to a young man in an indie club and one which I dedicate to those who are there for me

16. Pavement - Summer Babe - more quirkiness...reminds me of kissing in the sun

17. Pixies - Gigantic - Do I really have to comment?

18. Nine Inch Nails - Closer - Pure kinkiness, dirt and depravity - on vinyl

19. Pixies - I've been Tired - My seduction technique...older woman, beer, talking politics.

20. Simon and Garfunkel - I am a Rock - the ultimate song for cynics and yes, sometimes walls are better.
