I’ve been in crush-hibernation the last few months- avoiding dates, feeling gross. I felt like I had checked the last crush off my list after those dates with Coffee Shop Crush in August. No one seemed that interesting to me, and and the thought of more first dates made me groan or yawn, depending on my mood. Lots of studies + working with little kids + being sick + waves of depression= Do Not Ask Me On A Date, I Am NOT Interested.
But. Now. I have a crush. And it feels great. It is a super secret crush, so secret that this person does not even get a pseudonym. It is very probable that s/he reads my blog, and as I am 97% certain that my crush is unreciprocated (and possibly inappropriate) I don’t want to give any hints. But my blog has been so drama-free for the last little while, any butterflies deserve some air time, right?
Which brings me to my next topic: sexy music.
What bands put you in the mood? Post them in the comments!
Here is my (partial) list:
*Nirvana
*Esquavelle (I have no idea how to spell this)
*Yo La Tengo
*Bruce Springsteen
*Heart
*Otis Redding
*Panther
I could keep this list going all night long, baby, but I have a date with my Elementary Mathematics textbook. Hot.

I’ll add Portishead and Nat King Cole to your list of music that puts me in the mood. I’m a sentimentalist, what can I say?
I love you berry much Willow-girl.
Hmmmm, sexy music, oh goodness. When I think of making a move or just want to make myself feel good, sexy like, I might throw on some Gipsy Kings, maybe some Ms. Dynamite, India Arie, Marvin Gaye, Built to Spill. Need to think on ‘er some more, but that’s a start.
My votes: Siouxsie & the Banshees, Prince, Love & Rockets.
Yes, I am old.
portishead! yay! lucy u know i live in bristol- home of portishead?
anyway. tricky used to be the man (i’m going back to college days). donna summer (sexy disco!) pj harvey (another bristolian) and some berlin techno is super sexy tho u wudnt believe til u heard
willow. if u have any portland film/gallery recommendations please drop by my site and drop them in the comments. i’m coming over in december and want to try organise a screening venue from my film…..
joao gilberto, astrud gilberto, and stan getz.
Heather and I used to get all hot and bothered by Nirvana (specifically when Kurt Cobain’s voice cracked; that would make us WILD) and Cracker’s “Low.”
I kinda like makin’ out to the Shins.
David Gray conjures some very fond memories for me.
What is it about Nirvana? Maybe it just brings me back to all my high school kisses. Mmm.
I realized that I described my crush so loosely that pretty much any reader could think it was them. Pretty awesome.
Piu Piu, I hope I’ll get to meet you when you come to PDX! I’ll drop by your site soon!
+ zepplin iv
+ the boss
+ marvin gaye
+ prince
+ slow jamz (aka “the quiet storm”)
“Interstate 5” Wedding Present
“Skull” Sebadoh
“Back to Me” Kathleen Edwards
“Two-Headed Boy” Neutral Milk Hotel
“After We Made Love” Bonnie Prince Billy
“Porcelian” Moby
“Guitar Flute & String” Moby
Anything by Azure Ray, Otis Redding, My Morning Jacket, Greg Brown, the Eagles, the Postal Service, Amy Nelson (Willie’s daughter), Bill Withers, and Soul Miner’s Daugther
Sorry for the hefty list, there are more, but I’ll leave it at that. Actually, just about all music puts me in the mood. Come to think of it… I’m in the mood right now.
Whoa, all of my top choices have already been named–it’s good to know that I’m not sexing it up to things no one else would choose. I second Portishead, Cracker’s “Low,” motherfuckin’ Prince and I would add pretty much anything by Kings of Leon, Pete Yorn and Claudine Longet.
and also…Love’s “alone again or,” strictly as a Bottlerocket homage.
I almost added Love, just for that song!
Mmm…
Wilson Brothers….
I second Portishead and early Tricky. The Nirvana/ Crakcer comment by Liz was right on (reffering to a mix tape we made titled “The 4th base” mix in High school) I will also add Pulp (Different Class album) and Leonard Cohen.
okay. i’ll get in here.
Yume Bitsu
Grateful Dead
Erasure
Pet Shop Boys
totally Marvin
and Sam Cooke
and Michael McDonald
Steve!
You’re always in, here!
Would it be weird to reveal here that my main high-school boyfriend was really into sexxing it up while playing Mozart’s Requiem? It probably is weird. But, I have to say, I still always have a little thrill at listening to it.
It’s kind of a sexy piece of music anyway.
