By which I mean songs with "kiss" in the title, not songs to play while you're kissing. I'm pretty sure this would be one of the strangest make-out soundtracks ever... so if you do give it a test run, let us know how it goes. (Sorry, morbid curiosity.)

Add this to the list of playlists so obscure that nobody else would ever actually want to listen to them. I limited myself to one song per artist.

This time, we're looking for songs founded on mistruths. This can be as simple as claiming not to care when you really do or as complicated as tying a statement to an obviously false or impossible condition (when they grow cantaloupes on Mars, when you see me walk on water, when pigs fly) as a means of establishing its untruth.

I was toying with the idea of doing a crying songs playlist, but it turns out that such a list would include about half of all the country songs ever written. So, instead I elected to compile a list of songs about not crying. It includes songs about people who don't cry, people who won't admit to crying, people who tell other people not to cry, people who comment on how other people aren't crying, and on and on. The parameters are pretty loose, so feel free to make your own additions in the … [Read more...]

Silver daggers. Unrequited love. Senseless murder. Graveyards. Encounters with Death. Crazy women wandering the hills. People frozen in various stages of grief. Gothic elements have long been an important part of bluegrass music, but they also show up from time to time in the country mainstream. With Halloween fast approaching, here's a playlist of spooky country to put you on edge.I'm only including one song per artist (some performers have lots more) and one artist per song (some songs … [Read more...]

That's songs about jukeboxes, not songs that might be played on them (which could be just about anything).

Friday would be a good day for a list of drinking songs, but I don't want to be responsible for any of your debauchery, so instead I'll do a cautionary playlist about people struggling with addiction. I tried to avoid songs that treat the subject too lightly ("Stay Away from the Cocaine Train") or too obliquely ("The Bottle Let Me Down") in favor of songs that look specifically at the psychology of addiction and its destructive impact on addicts and their loved ones. As always, you're welcome … [Read more...]
