Doing Girls - The Soundtrack
The other month I had the opportunity to take an amazing girl to bed. And not one of those get her drunk, toss game at her and see how far she will let you go. This girl was cool and chill and confident, and was not subtle in her approach to going to my room.
So we get to my room, and theres none of the "So you wanna watch a movie?" crap. She hops into my bed laughs that the lights are still on and invites me in. But before she does she asks me:
"Hey, I know you love music, why dont you put something on?"
Wham. Frozen in my tracks. Now dont get me wrong, I've hooked up to music before, but never with a direct request to DJ. Totally caught off guard.
So my mind starts running through my music collection (over 20,000 songs and 40gigs). I start freaking out. I try not to hide my panic as she is in my bed waiting in anticipation for my music choice (and hopefully something else too...)
Anyways, I blew it. I mean, she didnt say anything and the rest of the night went great, but my choice was wrong. So this got me to thinking. Theres a time and a place for all music, but there are special times for some music, for some girls and some situations. So I decided I would collect my thoughts here and share them with you in case you ever (hopefully) find yourself in the same situation. Im now prooud to give you:
The Official VivaManchVegas Guide to HookUp Music
The Rules:
1. All music must be by album - There is nothing tackier than having a HookUp mix, especially if it progresses to some fevered pitch or other fruity crap like that. I havent read about it in cosmo (come on you read it too), but if you do have some mix you think she'll think is random, I gaurantee girls are making fun of you behind your back.
2. Nothing Cliche - Barry White, while acceptable with your long term GF as you act out your "Shaft" fantasy (keep dreaming bro), is not acceptable for a girl whos name you are trying to remember.
3. No Dave Matthews - You arent in college anymore. If you havent seen 30 sets of boobs while listening to "Under the Table and Dreaming" you missed your chance. Sorry. (exception: if you are hooking up with dumb college chicks).
4. Nothing Uber Popular - The LAST thing you want to do is put on her exboyfriends favorite CD. Youve probably already spent all night hearing about what a ____ he is. DONT share your bedtime.
Now on to the tunes!
Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlantisicm - While I really really really hate the name of this band (I actually boycotted them for 2 years I hate it so much), either she wont know what band it is, or if she knows she probably wont hold it against you. This is perfect for going back to your place after the party. Great for its ups and downs and overall mood of romance but not love.
Interpol - Antics - If she's got a touch of crazy, the slow droning of the opening song will def set up your game well. Once the rest of the CD kicks in, the steady hammering of the band coupled with Paul Banks' deep voice creates a dark picture perfect for the self-conscious imperfect girl.
Thievery Corportation - Richest Man in Babylon - Definetly the most blatantly porn music on my list, but if you have a decent stereo, the hokieness will be lost in hotness. Any mix from these guys is good, but this one is great. This is perfect for semi-cultured girls.
The Notwist - Neon Golden - For girls that wear black, have black glasses, black hair and light skin. Melencholly and beautiful this is another disk that takes its time and gives you added sensitive cred with enough of a beat to get freaky.
John Scofield - A Go Go - Im not sure if I just really like this album for its simple production and straightforward approach, or because it is subtly sexual. Regardless, if she is still around in the morning and you are gonna make another run at it, show some class with this funky jazz.
Radiohead - Kid A - If its 5 in the morning and you havent realized the sun is coming up and you are still going strong. Take these this to bed with you. Nothing good happens after 3AM, except for sex to radiohead... Thats great.
Dangermouse/JayZ/The Beatles - The Gray Album - If you've been out at the club all night and want some hip hop, but feel awkward about bedding someone to "BITCHES!" "HOES!" "TRICKS!" (cross somehow has no problem with this...) but dont want to lose the progress you made grinding all night, this classy tale of struggle laced with classic grooves is untouchable.
Well there you have it. This list by no mean tries to cover all possible good choices, but will hopefully get you thinking so if you are ever in this situation you at least have some idea of where to or what road to go down. Good game to you and yours!
