MIXTAPE

MIXTAPE SIX: SONGS OF SEDUCTION

These are the songs you throw on when you want to get busy.

Track 1: Ooh La La Goldfrapp

Track 2: Bob’s Yer Uncle Happy Mondays ‘Bob’s Yer Uncle’ is the standout track from arguably the only standout album released by the Happy Mondays, the aptly titled ‘Pill ‘N’ Thrills and Bellyaches’. And weaved through out the tune, Shaun Ryder embraces the mantra that ‘questions are more important than answers’, posing timeless conundrums such as: 1. What do you want to hear when we’re making love? 2. Can I hold you from behind and tell you that it’s me? 3. Can I take you from behind and hold you in my arms? 4. What do we need to re-live to bring us close? 5. Why don’t you do it to me? 6. Why don’t you do those things to me?

Track 3: Feel Like Makin’ Love Roberta Flack Beautiful and smooth!

Track 4: Luv Machine Blonde Redhead
So many different feelings in this song! Love/hate, attraction/repulsion… a certain vision of a total romantic love.

Track 5: Deadly Valentine Charlotte Gainsbourg

Track 6: I Want You David Lynch
I want you

Track 7: Lights On FKA Twigs FKA Twigs manages to weave desire, vulnerability and playfulness into each of her stunning tracks.

Track 8: Hell is Round the Corner – Tricky I first heard this track in a steamy scene in season 1 of Skins, which is every teens’ scripture on sex and drugs in the 2000s.

Track 9: I wanna make it witchu Queens of the Stone Age The Once in a lifetime combo of PJ Harvey, Josh Homme and Dean Ween makes this a pretty sexy tune.

Track 10: Some Velvet Morning Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood This tune just oozes swagger and sex.

Track 11: Will I See You Tonight Devendra Banhart, Vashti Bunyan “Been waiting my whole life……”

Track 12: Between the Bar Elliot Smith
