Episode Six: Love Potions


The theme was straight forward enough, make someone fall in love with you by playing three songs or less. We switched up the format and allowed everyone to play their choice as a set, rather than alternating around the room. This round I am only listing the songs and not addressing the introductions given, for fear I will misrepresent the speakers argument for love.


Pete went first, starting with Bonnie Raitt's Shake a Little for Me.


His second song was Chet Akins' I still Can't Say Goodbye.


His third song was Led Zeplin's Tangerine











Erik was next up and started with Dancing in the Moonliht by Thin Lizzy.








His second song was Nina Simone's Love Me or Leave Me.








For the third song he playedLived in Bars by Cat Powers.










We were pleased to meet Mr Malley this episode, he opened with David Bowie's Ashes to ashes.








His second song was Mouth Almighty by Elvis Costello


His third selection was Granddaddy's Ok with My Decay.




Mr Connors first selection was an uncharacteristic Judy Garland singing It was Never You.


His second choice was Love Me, by The Norman Luboff Choir.








His third selection was Impress me by The Aluminum Group.




At this point, Madden swung by from a night on the town, pulled a CD from his back pocket and played The Magnetic Fields' Save a Secret for the Moon.











Frank finished the evening, starting with Snow Patrol's Spitting Games.








His second song was Shining Light by Ash.








His third selection was She and Him's Why Do You Let Me Stay Here.










Obviously, anyone who wants to explain their songs choices--or who wants to share the songs they would have played--is free to do so in the comments.

Otherwise, we'll see you at Episode Seven: Rock it, Science!

  1. That recording of "It Never Was You" was one of my finalists.

  2. Here is Love Me by the Norman Luboff Chorus. I think it was my favorite choice because of it's insistence of just trying to say the words Love Me to make it happen... The group Love Me makes it even more pathetic.
