description:
this mix is dedicated to the pirates, conquistadores, and explorers of love, youthful and bloodthirsty. not the love of a happily married couple, but the love of bouys and gulls, naive and seasick, with a lot to learn but never to understand.
just for fun, i'm gonna let the girls and guys tell it separately, ladies first. and for the sake of balance, i'll throw the duets in the middle.
i picked each of these songs like a preschooler picks a pumpkin. and with mudded palms and fingers i'd like to hand it off to the community for smashing on my porch, depending on what kind of neighborhood this is.

this song awesomely expresses how frustrating a guy can be when he doesn't show or express himself, beit from fear, nervousness, or confusion. in any case, it's discouraging to the girl in this song.

lotte was married to kurt weill, and he wrote a lot of pieces specially for her voice. this is an older version of the song performed before smoking made her voice raspier. she's scornfully detesting her ass of a man.

i'm not a huge fan of the postal service, but this song is actually quite pretty, and it's sung very sincerely by whoever is guest appearing on the track. it details how sometimes it just can't work, and you're forced to part ways. additionally, i couldn't make a love-related mix without just two duets.

word. the food pyramid is hideously miseducational. for instance, the emphasis on dairy intake is only partially relevant as lactase production continues into adulthood primarily for western european descendants. be healthy is probably my favorite song on that album, but this is a love mix.
dead prez do preach a lot, and i disagree with a lot of it, but they have depth, power, and delivery, and they derive a lot from their musical environment without reservation...qualities i respect in an rap duo.

I hate Dead Prez, but I do love that Be Healthy song. They should start playing that song in schools round the country when explaining how important the food pyramid really is.

Polar bears are a potentially threatened species rather than an endangered one. A threatened species is one that could easily become endangered...
So it's good to see some love for these magnificent creatures.

I am sick of saying, "Great mix," so I decided to change it up a bit.
