Video Valentine’s Day Soundtrack

Posted by Rob Simonsen on Thu, Feb 14 at 11:38 AM

Maybe it’s the fact that every blog in the world today is posting love songs, or maybe it’s the intense chocolate high I’m on right now, but I’m feeling, dare I say it, a little romantic.

I don’t think there’s any debating that the above song is just about perfect, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. So what are you listening to today? Is it sweet? Sad? Are you crying in your beer listening to this? Maybe you’re a bit more bitter?

It’s fine, we’re all emo around here, so nothing is off limits.

Have at it in the comments.

I don't smoke, but that video makes me want to so badly. Maybe just the idea that if I did, I'd be in that room with him.

Also, who the fuck was calling?
Baez?
Ginsberg?
Nixon?
Jakob Dylan (from the future)?

Also, that Whigs song is intense. I remember how the rumor was that he wouldn't dare sing the lyrics because they were too personal, but judging by that video (and the "What Jail Is Really Like" b-side), guess not.

There is just something about a sensitive misogynist who sings:

"And there's blood on my teeth
When i bite my tongue to speak
Zip me down, kiss me there"

2.) say what the fuck is in the clip! i almost missed this.
