Podcast: The Sex Episode
No track listings here, unless you abolutely really really need to know. (Another massive download too.)
But I can't resist coming up with some slightly mischevious liner notes of my own:
- Why not start with a breakup song? (I actually chose it because those beginning soulful chords just wrap around you.)
- She might have made a cottage industry out of making sex songs for Lite FM stations everywhere, but there's a reason for that, and when she's remixed by a great DJ the sound is even better.
- Sometimes my lady love and I sing this at each other, usually followed my smiles and winks.
- This was playing in the lobby of L'Hotel les Ateliers de L'Image, deep in the heart of Saint Remy de Provence (and those pictures do NOT do it justice). The music, however, did just fine.
- Double entendres never get old for us. For when you get giggly.
- I always saw his songs as goofy/cheesy/fun rather than actually sexy, except for this one song.
- She can give you shivers with her voice.
- For that first, long, wonderful kiss. The kiss where you're luxuriating in your love's touch and smell.
- There's the more obvious song on this same album, but his wistful, aching voice here is powerful.
- For when you're waiting at home, ready to pounce.
- This one was on one of two mixtapes that Mammamer made for me when we first started going out.
- Mammamer is always very direct, too.
- Tom Jones' version is cheesy and fun, but her version is actually pornographic and fun without being cornball.
- When the kisses get longer and more insistent.
- Holy crap.
- Naughtiness in the dark. This is also a song that fairly reliably gets me into striptease mode, not that you could've lived your whole life without hearing that.
- Again, holy crap.
- Ocean + rain = aphrodisiac. It reminds me of our final times in Thailand, where the warm rain came down outside as the sea lulled us to sleep. Or at least tried to lull us to sleep.
- The overall sensation of complete restfulness.
- Sexual obsession.
