The hottest love has the coldest end

I recently had the unfun experience of having to review Rob Sheffield’s sweet ode to his late wife, “Love is a Mix Tape,” the same weekend I got totally super-dumped. But the experience did get me back on the mix kick, and thus I present my Valentine’s Day 2007 playlist. I’ll get all Casey Kasem style and send this out to the fish, with the following note: pay attention to the order of the songs and the lyrics.
Velocity Girl, “My Forgotten Favorite”
PJ Harvey, “You Said Something”
Carla Bozulich, “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain”
The Blow, “The Long List of Girls”
Neil Young, “Only Love Can Break Your Heart”
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, “Graceland”
The Submarines, “Peace and Hate”
Bob Dylan, “Just Like a Woman”
