Valentine's Day Soundtrack

Seeing as it's Valentine's Day today, I figured that the music I listed to while working should be appropriate for the day. After listening to the playlist, I realised that I'm probably not much of a Valentine's Day traditionalist.

Playlist:

  • Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths
  • Your Ex-Lover Is Dead by Stars
  • Super Orgy Porno Party by the Planet Smashers
  • I Think I Love You by The Partridge Family
  • Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
  • Call in Sick by MxPx
  • I'll Grow Old With You by Adam Sandler
  • Read for Love by India Arie
  • For the Moment by Gob
  • Closer by NIN
  • What I Got by Sublime
  • I Want Love by Elton John
  • I Would Walk 500 Milies by Less Than Jake
  • Question by Old 97's
  • I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher
  • Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf
  • Let's Spend the Night Together by The Rolling Stones

    Ray Banks: Sucker Punch
    Donkey Punch (aka Sucker Punch) is funny, unpredictable and an impressive installment in the Cal Innes series.

  • Russel D. McLean: The Good Son

    Russel D. McLean: The Good Son
    Great character, strong plot that carried all the way through, and perfect balance of funny bits and emotional tugs at the heart. PI story with heart, but by no means soft.

  • David Gordon: The Serialist: A Novel

    David Gordon: The Serialist: A Novel
    Great mystery debut that actually touches on various literary genres via a compelling, sometimes dark and always funny story.

  • Johan Theorin: Echoes from the Dead

    Johan Theorin: Echoes from the Dead
    Strong sense of setting and an interesting story that alternates between the present and the past.

  • Sophie Littlefield: A Bad Day for Sorry

    Sophie Littlefield: A Bad Day for Sorry
    A fun read, but unfortunately I never became invested in the crime part of the story. Based on the character and the humour, I'll check out the upcoming 2nd book in this new series.

  • Tom Schreck: On the Ropes: A Duffy Dombrowski Mystery

    Tom Schreck: On the Ropes: A Duffy Dombrowski Mystery
    Interesting character (social worker and part-time boxer), good story flow, and very funny.

  • Ken Bruen & Reed Farrel Coleman: Tower

    Ken Bruen & Reed Farrel Coleman: Tower
    Brilliant conception and execution. Yes, it's really that good.

  • Ken Bruen & Jason Starr: Bust

    Ken Bruen & Jason Starr: Bust
    Noir at its best. When you have a group of flawed characters and bad things keep happening to them, it makes for a great read. Funny, dark, and very well-written.

  • Donna Moore: Go to Helena Handbasket

    Donna Moore: Go to Helena Handbasket
    Laugh-out-loud funny spoof the crime fiction/P.I. genre. Great characters, pace and dialogue. This should be required reading for any fan of the genre.

  • Robert Crais: The Two Minute Rule

    Robert Crais: The Two Minute Rule
    Great character, excellent pace, and interesting twists and turns in the story. I hope this is just the first in a new series.

  • Stuart MacBride: Cold Granite

    Stuart MacBride: Cold Granite
    Top-notch police procedural that is set in Aberdeen, Scotland. The dark subject matter (missing kids) doesn't overshadow the terrific writing style, strong plot, complex characters, and humour. A very compelling read.

  • Charlie Stella: Cheapskates

    Charlie Stella: Cheapskates
    The dialogue, colourful cast of characters, dark humour, and wonderful unpredictable plot make this a great read.

  • Duane Swierczynski: Secret Dead Men

    Duane Swierczynski: Secret Dead Men
    Check into the Brain Motel and you won't be disappointed. This is a unique, creative, funny, and compelling novel.

  • Rick Mofina: The Dying Hour

    Rick Mofina: The Dying Hour
    Suspense novel featuring rookie Seattle reporter, Jason Wade. Smart, scary, and interesting with fun twists and surprises. The first of what I hope will be a long-running series.

  • John Sandford: Broken Prey

    John Sandford: Broken Prey
    Run, don't walk to go out and get this book. It's part suspense, part thriller, and part police procedural, and all parts are done masterfully. The characters, storyline, pacing and writing style make this a must read.
