As promised last week, here are a few songs my wife used to lure me in. I think there are less instances of mixtapes going from lady to dude as much as from dude to lady. Is this true?

Ladies, I promised to give you a mix to win dudes with this week, and I’m totally going to do to you what I’ve done to so many ladies in the past: let you down. Sorry, but K and I have been living in a hotel this week and I don’t have access to the mixes of yesteryear. For this mix, I’m gonna have to stay somewhat up-to-date.

And why not keep it topical – hotel living. With all the re-arrangement of schedules over the past week or so, I’m feeling all kinds of mixed up and turned around. So for today’s mix I’m gonna throw out some mash-ups and sample-ganzas that never fail me. read more »

Inspired by Shawn Harwell’s awesome new site, Holepuncher, I’ve thrown together a muxtape for any readers/music listeners on the site today…

This week’s tape – songs that got me my wife. So if you’re looking for a wife, try these songs on the girl you fancy. They will pretty much totally work.

Ladies, they probably won’t work on a dude. That’ll be the next mux.

1. Tex Ritter – Do Not Forsake Me (High Noon)
2. Stephen Malkmus – Troubbble
3. They Might Be Giants – AKA Driver
4. Will Oldham – New Partner
5. Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players – Let’s Not Have the Same Weight in 1978
6. Ryan Adams – Shakedown on 9th Street
7. The Decemberists – Los Angeles, I’m Yours
8. Hot Hot Heat – 5 Times Out of 100
9. Rufus Wainwright – Go or Go Ahead
10. Frank Black – Hostess with the Mostest
11. The Deadly Snake – Closed Casket
12. Tom Waits – Picture in a Frame

Rock on.
