Listening to some tunes tonite after work and compiling a list of songs to burn (ex boyfriends ARE good for something) I realized how much music affects me and here is what I have to say about my own collection:
CD's NOT To Have Sex To ~
1. 'Aenima' from Tool. By the fifth track one of you will have killed and eaten the other. *Hint - surprise him during 'H'. He won't see it coming. Or, wait till after the next song, 'The Useful Idiot', just to be a sicko.
2. 'Amnesiac' from Radiohead. You'll have killed yourself before the foreplay is over, or at least by track 4. Pure despondence.
3. Anything by Tori Amos. Because if you happen to be with a man, you will instantly hate him.
4. 'Speakerboxx/The Love Below' from OutKast. Because you will jump outta bed and start groovin' around the house wondering WHY you were having sex in the first place - between Hey Ya and I Like The Way You Move, you'll forget about sex entirely.
5. 'Some Devil' from Dave Matthews. Because if F*CKING SUCKS. Period. Now, I worship Dave like the rest of the world and have everything he ever released, but THIS JUST SUCKS. Sorry Dave.
6. 'A New Day Has Come' By Celine Dion. NO ONE should be gettin' it on to Celine. NO ONE. If you do, you have issues.
7. 'Fever' By Kylie Minogue. See Number 4.
8. Anything by Sarah MacLachlan. She is my hero, but she is strictly chick music and you will be ransacking your cabinets looking for your extra medication and a bottle of wine, weeping and hissing at your boyfriend .
CD's You Should Screw To : (Hey that rhymed)
1. Anything by ambient techno god BT (his last two releases SMOKE)
2. Anything by A Perfect Circle (if you're a rocker). Except their latest CD, eMOTIVe. It's about war and is very sad/reflective. It's mostly cover by John Lennon, Marvin Gaye, Joni Mitchell...'When The Levee Breaks' (Joni) is incredible sung through this guy.
~ APC's first CD, 'Mer de Noms/Sea of Names' is intense, sexy and dark. The second CD, 'The Thirteenth Step' is hypnotic and creates a major bonding experience. A coworker borrowed my copy and I am burning his own copy because he became utterly obsessed with it.
* Maynard James Keenan, lead vocalist for both TOOL and APC has one of the most beautiful male voices I have ever heard - great range from sweet and lilting, to seductive and powerful, to make you want to gnaw through your own limb intense and insane. This is the guy who would have sex while listening to Celine, for the sheer perverseness of it. *I* would listen to Celine if it meant I could do Maynard.
3. 'The Smokin' Nephew' by Baby Bash. I will be the FIRST person to tell you NO RAP MUSIC while boinking. Baby is a Texican and is cute as a friggin' bug. 'Suga Suga' makes me melt and this is a nice hip hop to get your freak on to. Some songs are sexy/dirty which is a great combo.
4. Anything by guitar masters Steve Vai or Joe Satriani. Vai is a freak and he learned it from Satch, so take your pick.
My favorite way to break in a CD is listen at home while doing something else, so I passively absorb it. My Favorite CD's are one I had to listen to two or three times. Just like my closest friends, they are usually not someone I liked right off the bat.
