Title: The Mixtape Conundrum
Post by: Maybe Partying Will Help on 06 Jul 2007, 15:38
Like Gryff, I am also making a mixtape.  And yes, it is also for a lady.  Here's the problem.  I want at least one song that incorporates her name into the title.  Anyone know any good tracks with "Marie" in 'em?

Oh, and as a guideline, she likes the alternative/indie scene.  Stuff like New Pornographers and whatnot.  But if there's a song outside that genre that rocks, tell me anyway.

Thanks a ton!

Edit: Once I end up giving it to her, I'll tell y'all how it went!

Sweet Marie - The Anniversary. Only thing that came to mind immediately. Good song, too.

Holy shit dude! Don't tell anyone you don't own 'Blonde on Blonde' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_Sweet_Marie).

*hugs*

It's gonna be okay.

Dude, Absolutely Sweet Marie?  That's a killer song!  I TOTALLY forgot about it.  So now I have two to consider, so far.  Or, I could just have both, as bookends for the mix.

Apparently that was my first post. This astounds me. No more lurking.

Also, that is one sweet mix-tape, my friend.

Man I am glad you sorted this out because I was just going to suggest that 10 minute Tool song about Maynards mother dying.

the pillows (whom I haven't listened to in a long time, wow) have a song called "Marie of Paris" (it rhymes if you say it with a French accent!).  The lyrics are in Japanese, though.

Uhh, are you dating a half Japanese girl who plays the cello?? Otherwise this will really confuse a girl.
