The Bedroom Mix Tape
HEAVE helps you make a mix tape for those Hallmark moments.
After listening to music even since I was in the womb (excessive amounts of David Bowie for nine months will solidify that your spawn will attempt a career working in rock music), I feel that I am qualified to proclaim myself a mix tape aficionado. While other people were playing little league and going to gymnastics, I was putting off practicing piano while spinning song after song with my parent's vinyl collection. I worked my way through the history of music, so I know the key of making a good mix of old and new. I enjoy the ridiculous art of trying to blend two tracks together to sync up and coming up with fun titles for my mixes. Yes, I still do this in the day and age of iTunes, and can promise that my parties have a pretty killer soundtrack. So why not share my gift? I'll be bringing you simple mixes of various genres and themes, because what cheap ass music geek doesn't like to share the gift of music? Together we can all get a little closer to each other, one mix at a time.
The first mix I'm presenting is what I believe is the real reason a lot of humans make a mix tape; to get laid. You tell a girl or guy that, "You'll make them a mix tape." and then spend hours crafting songs to make them fall head over heels in love with you. The problem is trying to figure out what to play once you seal the deal. Don't just throw on some Barry White and call it a day. Below is a list of songs that you can casually throw on before getting down to business. You probably will not want to play all the songs in succession (too much sexy), but they are great to sprinkle through some other quality tunes to guarantee that you'll be playing in the sheets by the time the sun comes up.
Spoon - I Turn My Camera On - I think this is one of the sexiest songs in the world, hands down. First off, I've always had a total girl crush on Brit Daniels, and boy is his voice sexy in this song. But it's really the beat that gets you. The men I date will just have to deal with the fact that every time this song comes on I've got to shimmy and take my clothes off.
Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy - Ok, so this song made a Hanes underwear commercial sexy, so if it works for boxer briefs, it will work for just about anything.
Prince - Kiss - You have to have some Prince up in this place if you want to get some action! The man is a straight up freakish looking sex god, but his music is really the driving force in getting himself laid the past few decades.
Gorillaz - Dare and Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger - This isn't some slow sensual love making type of music, but throw someone against a wall music.
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir - Led Zeppelin somehow created a song with built in multiple orgasms actually in the music. I don't see how this couldn't be included. Use it to your advantage.
Nine Inch Nails - Closer - Do we need to go into why this song is on the list? If you aren't familiar with the chorus, you'll see why.
