Ok folks, it's late, you've got the flat to yourself, there's a
bottle of wine in the fridge and you've invited that special person
over for a quiet night in.
What do you stick on the stereo that's guaranteed to get you into
their pants?

Let them choose.
You have to listen to odd shit that way, but its part of giving
them some control, and its going to be music that pushes their
envelope.
+ I always choose innapropriate stuff, like my favourite punk
classics

Bizarrely, The Sensual World by Kate Bush. But only the title track
will work, so you're gonna have to be a pretty fast mover.

If it's raining, "Brewing it Up With Billy Bragg". I have wistful
memories over that one.
My girlfriend had this thing for Mazzy
Star. Late at night, yeah, that was the thing.

Atari Teenage Riot: 60 second wipeout.
Works a treat. Especially
if you sing along. Or maybe it doesnt. Hell , i dunno. The Ramones.
They've got a song for every occasion.
And the title of this thread is from Sexxlaws by Beck. Just to
show off my cleverness.

hmm, maybe some brian eno or Bjork.
Delerium's album Semantic
Spaces would serve well, too.

I find that a low bass tone, like a tape of James Earl Jones
humming, usually helps the Rohypnol kick in.
Then I put on
something by the Wurzels.

LOL@ fairweather nihilist. (Im getting into this internet
lark!)
I actually saw the wurzels last year.
Not as depressing
as one might think.
They've mutated into a sort of singalong punk
band / carryon style comedy act.

"Debra" by Beck, naturally...
What woman wouldn't swoon for "Lady, step into my
Hyundai"?

Actually , thats the first Beck song Ive ever disliked. Where did he
learn to shreik like that?
I like the rest of the album though.
"I'll do your loundry, massage your soul
I'll turn you over to
the highway patrol"
Ganesha: You've got to love a bunch of cornish stereotypes who've
flogged one joke for 30 years and recorded an album "dedicated to
the smell of cow shit."
right?

70sman: sorry, it was just the notional (and somewhat oxymoronic)
hybrid of 'singalong punk' and Carry-On 'humour' (which, failed
Morrissey fan that I am, I never found funny in the first place)
that struck me as nightmarish. The Wurzels I could take or leave,
really.

My current favorite disc has to be the new Depth Charge album, Lust.
That or the Fight Club soundtrack.

I have to say I've recently been seduced by the Fun Loving
Criminals' 'Mimosa'. That and the soundtrack to The Sopranos.
Hmmm...I feel a 'fictional American gangster' phase coming
on...

70sman, don't you like Prince at all?
Beck performed "Debra" live at the VH1 fashion music awards or
whatever that was. It was great. He slammed the mic down and begged
to his fictional woman...'cause he's a full grown man, but he's not
afraid to cry.
The VH1 thingee is worth watching, if only to see Andy Dick
wearing a huge stuffed Pikachu on his head, and to see Lil' Kim
dressed like an extra from the Eyes Wide Shut orgy sequence.
Andy Dick is always fucking hilarious when he's on awards shows.
I remember 2 years ago when he did a Backstreet Boys parody with Ben
Stiller when the latter hosted the Video Music Awards. Andy Dick had
a metal claw for a hand, and was raking it across his chest like a
Backstreet Boy. In the rain. priceless.
