Whoops! Forgot that today was VD (thanks to crazyauntpurl for the new acronym). I have a draft post about VD and it has my usual grouchiness about anything calendar related. I’ll finish it some other time as I’m in a good mood today.
Inspired by M, I’d like to list some mush songs that I like.
One of the first songs husband played/dedicated was: I’ll be your mirror by Velvet Underground.
I think Cactus by the Pixies is one of the most intense love songs I’ve ever heard. I completely understand the sentiments. The husband decided I was "the one" when I professed my love for this song.
Everytime I listen to Ramble On by Led Zeppelin (pls. ignore the LOTR references), I remember our first year together. We met at the end of one summer so most of our initial dates were during the Fall. Since it was initially a long distance relationship, our dates were 14 hour long days where we rambled all day. My husband is a fan of The Replacements, and he is reminded of our first year together when listening to Kiss me on the Bus. We rode the bus to see each other.
So Happy VD everyone!






Oooooh, I LOVE two of those songs (Led. Z and V. Underground) so much. I think I know Ramble On by heart, always reminds me of my high school days (not that I was in h.s when the song came out, I’m not quite *that* old!). And I love the V.U.–some of my favorite are I’m Waiting for my Man, Femme Fatale, Heroin, Run, Run, Run, and Venus in Furs.
I’ll have to check out the other songs, since you have such great taste with the two I do know.
Btw didn’t get a chance to comment on a previous post, but so glad you’re getting to spend your time on YOUR interests now. I know the feeling, as well as the feeling when you’re stuck spending time on something you really are not into. Unf. I’m in the latter stage right now, and can’t wait to be back to the former.
Anyway, good for you, it’s awesome you are pursuing so many interests. Happy VD!

I don’t like VU as much as I like Lou Reed’s solo stuff. I love Waiting for the man, Femme Fatale too.
