if this makes sense and i can excute ish in a timely fashion....imma do something.
in time for Valentines, i wanna make the ULTIMATE fuck mix.
but i wanna record it.
so enter bilal.
imma do a 2 vol BMB:
half of it LOVE JOINTS other half? BITTER BREAK UP JAWNS
that way valentines is completely covered:
you with your boo? you got a soundtrack.
you wanna cry all night and stalk the ex on FB?
imma make a soundtrack to that too.
this is where you come in.
gimme 10 love songs
gimme 10 break up/im so blue songs.
now before yall get all capn obvious (do "adore!!!" bilal will kill that!!!!!)
imma tell you now....imma shy away from obvious stuff that will set us up for a fail.
like for instance: "do me baby" is absolutely an impossible song to top. but maybe an under the radar P song like the Time's "Ooh Baby" might work?
its easier to cover an unexpected song or to cover an under the radar song than it is to cover "Forever My Lady"
just know we will do our best to be as creative as we can be!!!!
---ok
get ta listing.
put thought into it.
if imma take it seriously you will follow my exact instructions and make this easy for me to read.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. etc.....
10 Fuck Jawns
10 Fuck You Songs.
yes you can even name fast songs that i might find a creative way to make slow too.
any genres too.
NO! LIST Tom Petty M J Zeppelin Springsteen Neil Young Eagles Ray Charles Madonna Chuck Berry South Park TV Songs Justin Timberlake "Food Glorious Food" "Twilight Zone" theme "A Boy Named Sue" "Night Moves" "The Situation" "Superbowl Shuffle"

if you really want, i can do the 10 and 10, but my first idea would also pay tribute to the recently departed terry callier, covering his "just as long as we're in love." i can already hear it. please consider it. thanks.

22. "coupla picks from singer-songwriter mode" In response to Reply # 0
maybe could get some unexpected picks out of this pool
Love songs you & Bilal could do great things with:
Joni - All I Want John Martyn - Parcels (one of my favorite love songs ever) John & Beverly Martyn - Traffic Light Lady Richard & Linda Thompson - Dimming of the Day Graham Nash - Sleep Song Patty Larkin - If I Were Made of Metal Ben Sollee - How To See the Sun Rise Tim Finn - Persuasion Erin McKeown - Love in 2 Parts Jackson Browne - The times You've Come
'Fuck You' songs you could do equally great things with... couple of these are more obviously country
Ani Difranco - Untouchable Face (fuck you, and your untouchable face, and fuck you, for existing in the first place). Most of Ani's 'Dilate' album is pretty damn bitter, for that matter. Richard & Linda Thompson - Walking on a Wire Richard Thompson - Keep Your Distance Paul Kelly - I Can't Believe We Were Married Hank Williams - My Love For You (Has Turned To Hate) Charlie Louvin - I Don't Love You Any More George Jones - She Thinks I Still Care Joe Henry - Like She Was A Hammer John Prine - If You Don't Want My Love Loudon Wainwright III - Your Mother & I

i like my women like i like my starbucks frappacinos, exspensive ass caramel or mocha that i wait in an absurdly long line 2 consume 2 fast leaving me confused and wanting 4 more........
By-and-large, I'm going for the "I-never-would've-expected-them-to-cover-this" angle. And I'm not letting a small little thing like gender perspective stop me from reccommending really great songs that y'all could do good things with -- play with the pronouns if you have to ("pronoun trouble!" tm Daffy Duck) I have a slight bias towards country here-- i really like it when artists are able to successfully trasnlate country into r&b and vice versa.
1. The XX - Infinity 2. Flight Facilities - Crave You 3. The Rural Alberta Advantage - In the Summertime 4. Cut Copy - Need You Now 5. Jessie Ware - Sweet Talk

Fuck, I just would love to hear yours and Bilal's take on a Frightened Rabbit song. Their first album is incredible, and some of the most emotional/depressing shit you'll hear on a record.
