Well, shit. I started this mix last night and since then – everyone else beat me to their own picks and I’m not even getting the damn thing up on Valentine’s Day proper! So I’m having to adjust my contribution a little bit, (geez, Pablo!) and I also don’t want to copy last year’s picks so here we go – my way of having fun with the day that Zales and Hallmark built.

Great mix! A few of these were in my first big batch that I narrowed down for my final list…
There’s a great interview with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver at sri.uwec.edu. It’s nice and long and available for download for your listening pleasure.
Thanks – I may check it out as I’m catching Bon Iver (and Black Mountain) on Tuesday. I like Justin a lot. I inadvertently ended up doing his merch for a night two months ago and he’s a very down to earth guy…interviewing him must’ve been fun.
Really sweet mix. Good call on the Modern Lovers. I think Jonathan Richman has some of the best love songs.
