Over the next eight days, I am going to make you all the first side to some bullshit mixed-tape. Apparently Valentine’s Day is next week, so everyday I’ll post a song that gets me going on love.
Let’s celebrate love, then, shall we? I have my issues with how love as a concept is toxic and corrupt… but it’s still pretty cool to have, should you know how to treat it. Like a pet skunk. Love is having your stink removed.
Magnetic Fields – Love Is Like Jazz
The most honest love song is the one that is a baffling ordeal to sit through. And this song is really how love sounds when it gets started, is it not? Somehow it’s onomatopoeia for the rhythm in your bed, or the thoughts in your head. Either way my heart and ass are hurting but my cigarette tastes better than it did three minutes ago.
Buy Magnetic Fields' "69 Love Songs"
See you tomorrow!

Oddly, this is the track I tend to skip on Vol. 2. When people list their problems with the Magnetic Fields, usually this song comes to mind. Just kidding, I've never had anyone I know list their problems with the Magnetic Fields. I've probably only discussed them with two friends. You being one.

I like MF's other great love song... "Love Is Like A Bottle Of Gin" - true
