I’m so happy that Unwoman is on Spotify now, I’ve only been able to listen to like three of her free songs on Last.FM radio before! I’ve been listening to more music in the last week than in months, don’t know why I’ve not listened to music. It’s weird not to listen to music… Anyway, Unwoman is as great in all the new music that I now have gotten to listen to today as she were in those few I heard before.

1. Not a Pretty Girl – Ani Difranco
2. Power - Unwoman
3. If it doesn’t kill you – Siouxsie & the Banshees
4. The ballad of Lucy Jordan - Marianne Faithfull
5. Lasagna - the Knife

There was a chord in you I could not find to strike

I guess valentines day is an appropriate day to post this playlist… Haven’t celebrated or anything, Frej went home early and I was going to go to him later in the evening but then I realised I have to stay in Kortedala so that I can get up early and go to the dentist tomorrow. When I fell in love with Frej almost 2 years ago now (!) & stalked him up convinced destiny was in the works I also had a playlist made on the site muxtape that I thought described my emotions properly. I just tried to recreate it from my memory with quite a lot of success…

Click for playlist.

Though Stella Maris is not supposed to be the mixed version, it was this one:

And then there was this song which was the only one I couldn’t find on Spotify.

Frank the Baptist – Beg, steal & borrow
