Love All Right, You’re About to Have Sexy Time—What Album Do You Put On?
posted by on January 31 at 14:35 PM
Last Friday at Havana, the staff of The Stranger started talking about good music to have sex to. The question went around the table: You’re about to have sex. What album do you put on? You were supposed to say the first thing you thought of. Some of the answers were strange. Some made perfect sense. See if you can match the Stranger staffer with the first album they think to reach for when they’re about to have sex.

(5) Loveless, My Bloody Valentine.
(6) Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd.

(8) Reject All American, Bikini Kill.
(9) I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, Yo La Tengo.
(10) The soundtrack to The Cook, the Thief, the Wife, and Her Lover.
(11) “I don’t play music during that time.”
the flaming lips always works for me.
who the hell listens to bikini kill while fucking?
Loveage: "Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady"
What, no Big Black, Songs About Fucking?
Lovage. I second that.
Lately - Beirut or Muse. Sometimes Bjork (stop laughing please.)
Bikini Kill has to be Megan Selig cuz she's got horrible taste in music, is fairly young and extremely unfuckable. all signs that point to some clueless, desperate person.
whoever said Yo La Tengo wins. out of those options, that's the best. it's long too, that's the sign of a great fucker. Loveless is very short, probably Grandy's.
the soundtrack has to be dan savage.
hey Iggnerent--did you read the options? Grandy and Seling aren't on this list.
i is what my name sez.
a couple of these seem more like "curl up into a ball and think about how sad and beautiful the world is time" than sexy time.
For the record, I would be happy with either Bikini Kill or My Bloody Valentine. And "Loveless" is like 50 minutes long!
I care about the dudes or gay dudes on the list, but let me take a shot at the chicks:
Erica B--My Bloody Valentine
Jen G--Yo La Tengo
Kim H--The soundtrack
Wrong!
I'VE DONE ERICA C. BARNETT BEFORE AND WE LISTENED TO YO LA TENGO.
What stinks is that I can't guess, since by doing so I will have given away my own preference. However- here's a hint-those of us who have roommates are probably more likely to reach for something loud, as to cover up our own noises and spare the roommate some grief. Obviously, who ever listens to Leonard Cohen lives alone and likes to cry.
man, no marvin gaye, no al green, no bobby womack, no curtis mayfield, no irma thomas? what the hell is wrong with you all?!
nipper, i expected a little color from you, friend.
the best blow-job song EVER, one of those "after-fight-make-up-songs... is ALWAYS this:
AND, CHECK: I hate indie rock.
but, this song is orgasmic.

Pavlov's Dog. Don't test me.
I say Nipper's is VU Live 69--because it's a double LP full of long-ass songs and he's always boasting about what a sex machine he is (even if he is a grumpy ol' man).
Kerri (at #16): Al Green is what gets played before/en route to the record I mentioned above....
no tricky - maxinquaye? surprising, since that's prime for sexy-time
I agree...where's the colored music??
Never mind that, where's the fucking Xiu Xiu? That makes for some truly surreal nooky.
