5 Songs That Old Boyfriends Have Put on Mix Tapes For Me
Under the Bridge – Red Hot Chili Peppers
American Jesus – Bad Religion
Temptation Waits – Garbage
The Brews – NOFX
I Only Wanna Be With You – Hootie & the Blowfish (ugh, I know! This guy didn’t get me at all. One side of the tape was all pussy rock like Collective Soul and the Spin Doctors, and the other side was oldies. Who sends a tape of fucking Happy Days oldies to an eighteen year old girl? I cringed with embarrassment for him when I attempted to listen to it. Moreover, the tape was accompanied by a multi-page manifesto on the significance and meaning behind each song. But he was hot, and the only person I’ve had handcuff sex with, which is another survey entirely.)

The Bad Touch – Bloodhound Gang
Tribute – Tenacious D
Into the Night – Benny Mardones (This song is just gross. Even Kip Winger had enough restraint to leave sixteen year olds alone.)

"Can you feel it baby? I can too." I had no idea you liked Waiting for Tonight so much. I love being armed with this new information.

Also, you'll appreciate this: I was Christmas shopping with my dad tonight and we came up to the La Mer section of Bloomingdales; I took a big glob from the sample container (klassy!) and he stood there, silently taking it all in, and then finally said, "Lamer?"
