Friday Random Ten: One

For the single and sexless – because those terms can often be mutually exclusive –  this weekend will probably be just like any other, mostly because you were smart enough to avoid being suckered into the Valentine’s Day industrial complex.

This deserves praise, not wilting roses or calorie-heavy chocolate kisses.

And this is your PostBourgie-approved soundtrack for the weekend:

1. U Don’t Have to Call by Usher (Alisa)

2. I Get so Lonely by Janet Jackson (slb)

3. Til it Happens to You’ by Corrine Bailey Rae (Brokey)

4. She’ll Come Back To Me by Cake (Shani-o)

5. Charlie, Last Name, Wilson by Charlie Wilson (R.A.B.)

6. Hey Ladies by The Beastie Boys (Jamelle)

7. All By Myself by Somedayzz from “Clueless” (Quadmoniker, who made it explicitly clear that she was NOT talking about the version by Celine Dion)

8. Tired of Being Alone by Al Green (Blackink)

9. When Will You Call by Bilal (slb)

10. Hate it Here by Wilco (Shani-o)

Because in the end, two can be as bad as one.

As always, if you’ve got any suggestions or additions or complaints about the list, get in where you fit in.

One. Love, I mean.

    No Prince?

    And for those in LDRs who can stuck in the snow, Marvin gaye’s “Distant Lover” will get many rotations this weekend.

  • Insane amounts of people propose on v-day.

    Tony, Toni, Tone Anniversary.

  • How about Rose Royce – Love Don’t Live Here Anymore?

    That’s what I’m talking ’bout!

  • No love for “Ice Cream”? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVs0AQ2tX6Q

    Just kidding. My real submission: Betty Davis, Anti-Love Song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxKBnR_8LIM She is the business.

  • And how could anyone forget Eddie Holman’s “Hey There Lonely Girl?”

    Oh? Everyone else? My bad.

  • I Want Love – Elton John
    Start A War – The National
    I’m Going Down – Mary J. or Rose Royce (either is fine)
