the unconventional valentines playlist


birds - kate nash // by your hand - los campesinos! // tête-à-tête - walk the moon // bittersweet bundle of misery - graham coxon // no strings - chloe howl // skip to the good bit - rizzle kicks // glass in the park - alex turner // stutter - elastica // for the girl - the fratellis // lola - the kinks // new romantic - laura marling // double dare - molotov jukebox // best of friends - palma violets // girlfriend in a coma - the smiths // celestine - spector // animal nitrate // post break-up sex - the vaccines 



I'm not a particularly big fan of Valentines Day, as it goes. If you know me you'll know of the fateful tale (mainly because I'm a big advocate of milking traumatic childhood memories to anyone that listens) of seven year old me getting rejected by my first crush after spending ages making him a valentines day card (practising my '?'s for ages because I'd always had trouble with them and using coloured card and my special stamps) and presenting it too his face. Rather ruined the ordeal, to be honest. 

But I wanted to post a playlist, and what can you be if not topical? For an added extra kick in the teeth and a firm middle-finger to St. Valentine, I'm posting it on the 15th. Unconventional, eh? I totally forgot all about it. Sorry.

So for you I present a playlist of: awkward love confessions, dysfunctional relationships, crossed wires and miscommunication, friends-with-benefits-when-you-want-more, meaningless sex, post break-up sex, male impotence, transvestites, insecurities - and whatever the fuck Girlfriend In A Coma is meant to be about. I hope you enjoy.    


I never know how to end these things
