For the last nine years, I’ve compiled a Valentine’s Day mix for my nearest and dearest.
It’s never quite about love, but about when love goes wrong. It’s about obsession. About stalking.
Here’s this year’s mix:
- I Will Possess Your Heart—Death Cab for Cutie
- Cactus—Davis Bowie
- Honey Honey—ABBA
- Settle for Me—Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
- Why’d You Come In Here Looking Like That?—Dolly Parton
- The End of the World—Julie London
- Don’t Talk to Strangers—Jonathan Coulton
- Titus’s Lemonade Song—30 Rock
- Hell of a Way to Go—Kasey Chambers
- I’ve Got You Under My Drawers—Brak
- We Get On—Kate Nash
- Satisfied—Hamilton
- Cry for Me—Camila Cabello
- Baby, Won’t You Please Come Home?—Louis Prima
- I’m Going to Get You—National Lagarde
- Cool—The Simpsons
- Baby, Let’s Play House—Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
- Overnight Observation—Olivia Newton-John
- Nevermore—Queen
- Pictures of Your Dick—Rachel Bloom
- Love Me or Leave Me—Nina Simone
- Are You Lonesome Tonight?—Elvis Presley
- Is It a Crime?—Sade
- It’s Me Again, Margaret—Ray Stevens
Almost all nine years of songs are on this Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4lNFkVYXu7VtWiDtLjGgxX.
(Spotify doesn’t have everything . . .)
Each year, I keep a desktop playlist of songs that might make it onto the next disc. Right now, there are 284 contenders for Stalkers 10.
Want non-spotify versions of past years’ discs? Hit me up!
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
