Pretty self explanatory! I've got some songs I'm thinking of but I could always use more. Some things I've got in the old noodle are:
Baths - In Ruins
The XX - Shelter
Beach House - Lover of Mine
Animal Collective - Winters Love
Pulp - This is Hardcore
Air France - Collapsing at Your Doorstep
I'm also considering the person I want to make out with....suggest away!
-
Just play the chorus of "Serpentine" by dEUS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc9x6S-lPoY) on repeat.
-
what are you going for? slow and sappy? bumpin' and dirty? marvin gaye?
-
Every Day of My Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5f9HTCREYk)
Darling Nikki (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XmxijQfMow)

-

As a Belgian I should probably listen to more dEUS. Should I?
-
Nah, just listen to In a Bar, Under the Sea a lot.
-
The-Dream
All of it, but mostly Falsetto and Turnt Out
-
Tom Waits - "Closing Time", the album.
-
Put a GG Allin song on there
-
Something by Air? Maybe some Bonobo ('Stay The Same'?).
Rabbit In Your Headlights by Thom Yorke?
I think my make-out mix might be the same as my rainy day mix. I'm not sure what this says about me?
-
I'm pretty sure the last time I put on music specifically for making out it was just the Wut EP by Girl Unit and that went pretty well.
-
The last time music was involved and I got some serious makeouts, it was the back end of Boris' Akuma no Uta.
Just sayin', Julia. Ditch the Animal Collective and go for a little rock.
-
"Chainsaw Gutsfuck" - Mayhem
-
slow and sappy?
Anything by Belle & Sebastian, anything off The Last Romance by Arab Strap, anything off Armchair Apocrypha by Andrew Bird, anything off Strange and Beautiful by Aqualung.
bumpin' and dirty?
Buena by Morphine, Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One) by Alabama 3 (use with caution around Sopranos fans), a lot of stuff by Morcheeba, Hate To Say I Told You So by The Hives
marvin gaye?
This one answers itself.
-
okay making a real post here
Barry Motherfucking White
I can't tell you how many times I've boned a chick while this fool was on the iTunes box

everyone's debating the contents of the mix so im going to step in and do the other half of julia's post which is me. make out with me. it's the best decision you can possibly make.
-
rejected drafts of that post:
- screenshot of bus ticket purchase from toronto to regina, w/ embedded link to expedia's hotel listings

Am I alone in finding Fleet Foxes's music to be incredibly sexually charged?

Kanye West - Devil In a New Dress
I seriously think this song is perfect for this.

Need to add this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K03wHXh-wmI
-

it's no "pregnant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPXokTCcPww)"
-
im pretty sure a makeout mix really depends on who yr trying to make out with. for example, a make out mix for a girl trying to make out with me should consist of things like on the might of princes and the promise ring and mineral.
or godspeed.
-
I'm trying to make out with a hipstery grad student who's super into The Walkmen and Animal Collective, so you know.

Sean, if I were a lady I'm pretty sure I'd make out with you.

In that case (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfmAk_KUsqI)

I just played the new Lights Out Asia record during a makeout session and it was pretty much perfect

Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks

dude's obviously already super privileged, don't bolster his sense of entitlement
-
in seriousness though you should add some music by the devastations to your mix
-
Am I alone in finding Fleet Foxes's music to be incredibly sexually charged?
Probably, I always thought it was super cutesy and that they had the same producer Camera Obscura hired in '06
-
these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7iao7RCMvs) two (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW1hv37imjw) come to mind, mostly becuase of the grinding rhythm, especially in the choruses.
-
I was forced to listen to Metallica last time I made out with anyone. It was older Metallica and therefore didn't completely suck, but.. it was Metallica and I was trying to get some booty and yeah. So, uh, don't do that?
I actually find instrumental music (of whatever genre) to be best for making out.
-
I haven't had make out music for a while. Pretty sure if I was to have some it would probably be Opeth (either Damnation or Ghost Reveries), Rob Zombie (American Made Music to Strip By) or possibly My Dying Bride (As the Flower Withers?).
Yeah. Music is great.
-
Yeah Julia I was serious with the Boris rec. Naki Kyoku is a hellishly groovy song.
It makes for good makeouts. Trust me.
-
I have a playlist, tastefully entitled "Songs to fuck to." devoted solely to this purpose. Naturally, a giant chunk is triphop.
Massive Attack - Paradise Circus, Dissolved Girl, Mezzanine
Zero 7 - Destiny
Doves - Firesuite
Portishead - Wandering Star, Pedestal, Glory Box
Thrice - Digital Sea
Handsome Boy Modelling School - The Truth
Morcheeba - Crimson
Feist - Lovertits
Broken Social Scene - Sweetest Kill, Hotel
Goldfrapp - Strict Machine
The Kills - Getting Down
Jeff Buckley - Grace
-
Ending it with Jeff Buckley, classy move.

Gene that's not how you spell cliché
-
It's how you spell success.
There is no such thing as a sex mixtape cliche.
-
Really? Because I'm pretty sure Patrick suggested Barry White somewhere up there.
-
Cliche in this context implies that it's a mistake to use.
Barry White may or may not be appropriate depending on whether or not you and your partner were born c. 1950 but I doubt that the decision would ever come back to bite you in the ass.
-
making out to thrice is an alarming proposition
-
i've made out to anti-flag before. THAT's alarming...
-
I used to bone my then-girlfriend while listening to "40'" by Franz Ferdinand. She was the one who put it on. She must've been trying to boost my ego.
-
i've made out to anti-flag before. THAT's alarming...
lololol
Hip Hop people!?!?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMIs3WYLZbY
Norah Jones' new album has some pretty good songs on there, I Wouldnt Need You for example could be an awesome make out song.
-

Digital Sea is pretty goddamn tame. It's pretty much a direct rip-off of Mezzanine and KID A.
That being said, my other mix -- Songs to sod a bitch like a horny landscaping service to -- has plenty heavy fare on it. It's more 3rd date material, though -- apparently some women don't appreciate "making love" to Betrayal is a Symptom or Prison Sex.
Also, I challenge you to stay hard while shagging to Sleepyhead by Passion Pit on repeat. I haven't been able to ...ahem... pull it off yet.
-
weird, i haven't listened to thrice since 2005 but that sounds nuts. i might actually have to listen to a thrice song.
-
Wouldn't it be awkward to make out to Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley.
You'd be sitting their thinking she was going to suddenly just say, "Oh yeah, I'm a guy."

Barry White is always appropriate, imo. It's ecstasy when you lay down next to meee.

Why in all holy hell did nobody post this song yet
I mean it is perfect for this
Breakbot - "Baby I'm Yours" (feat. Irfane) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6okxuiiHx2w)
-
Over and over... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpGEeneO-t0&feature=related)
-
Madcon - "Beggin'" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h96Qo0tRBQ)
-
I like to listen to the following when I'm making out.
Incubus - Warning
Planet Funk - Lemonade
Kyuss - Writhe
-
Typically when I have girls over they turn out to have a defined musical preference, so I put on some Morphine or old Smashing Pumpkins or even some trance, just something textured and moody. But the other night this girl was an opera singer and so was always too busy listening to stuff she was going to perform to listen to contemporary music. She had no requests at all.
So I threw on From Here to Infirmary. It felt so juvenile but I loved it.

still one of my favorite album covers, ever

Look at This Fucking Album Cover
-

My first wife was an opera singer, and my second is 70% deaf and finds background noise a distraction (as I do anyway). So for me the idea of a make-out mix at all has the subtext that the occasion could not be serious.
-

How annoying are these people to me, a visual appraisal from left to right:
- His outfit is so ridiculous that I'm just going to assume he's on his way to or returning from a costume party. I'm being generous. He gets a pass, just.
- She's okay, but those shoes are really ugly. What's with clunky sneakers, people? They're like clogs made from more comfortable materials.
- Oh boy. The hat. The rolled up jeans. The fucking hair. It's a three-way race between this kid, the 80s revival doofus in the blue singlet, and that girl in the bear hat.
- I don't know what that thing is around his neck. If it's something important then he could just put it in his pocket like a normal person does. If it's some kind of pendant then it just looks stupid. But in general his appearance is too bland to be truly annoying.
- I'm going to assume she's just a kid. I don't wanna start ripping on kids, that's not cool. If she's not a kid then maybe she should stop dressing like one.
- For fuck's sake. 80s revival blue singlet doofus. Okay let's be generous again and assume he's getting in on the costume party action along with that guy in the skeleton outfit (though on reflection what the hell's with Skeletor's red bandana? What is he, an undead bikie? The skeleton of Jesse James?). This outfit sails much closer to the wind though because unlike Skeletor's it's conceivable that somebody might actually wear this kind of shit every day and think they're being cool or something. (Here's a secret: they're not.)
- The least annoying of the lot, though I think those shoes might actually be clogs. The oversize flower in the hair is a difficult look to pull off and it might be just the overexposure of the photo that's allowing her to get away with it.
- Okay bear hat wins the race to the prize. The prize is derision and scorn. Maybe she'd get away with it if she wasn't also throwing up the most half-hearted peace sign/V-for-victory sign imaginable. Maybe if she was wearing an entire bear costume I might be willing to lump her in with the costume party crowd. As it is she's a girl in a stupid hat for no good reason.
This cover is pretty much a summary of everything that perpetually shits me about hipster/indie culture. (Namely "irony", the mindless worship of trashy pop culture, and the perpetual tendency towards infantilisation.)
-
you mad?
-
You're going to have to specify what meaning of the word "mad" you're using.
-
The thing is that you are misinterpreting the album cover. I think it is supposed to be an homage to the sort of 'idiosyncratic' characters in John Hughes' films. It's not meant to be ironic.
-
I've seen all the John Hughes movies worth seeing several times and I can only recognise a Molly Ringwald and an Emilio Estevez in there so I think as a whole the photo can still be encapsulated as
the mindless worship of trashy pop culture
-
Anyway if you like it that's cool! Sometimes I'm just overcome by an irresistable desire to offer a personal corrective to the prevailing moods of popular culture.
-
An homage doesn't have to be a direct reference. I just think it was meant in the same spirit.
I don't have any particularly strong feelings for the album cover, but I don't think it is mindless worship so much as it is sincere appreciation, which is quite amply exemplified by the music on the actual album.
-
Yeah I don't think it's quite fair to call it mindless worship. While it may not be an iconic cover exactly it's directly inspired by a particular cultural artifact, unlike say decade-wide pop nostalgia (let's talk about how great the 80s were, guys!), the sensation of which is carefully sonically recreated.
-
Nah sorry guys it's just a picture of some idiot douchebags.
-
You're hilarious.
-
I wasn't trying to be funny
-
You misread me.
-
Do it, I dare you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxcLlQEkxxE)
-
Oh man I'm glad I didn't cop out of that when I first started dry-heaving at around the 20-second mark otherwise I would've missed the incredible line 37 seconds into the song where he sings "We made love and then you cried".
EDIT: okay now I've somehow listened to the whole thing and instead of reacting to it fully here I'll just be thankful that the crushing obviousness and utter blandness of the song's rendering of otherwise admirable sentiments is aptly summed up by the following comment on the video:
GREAT SONG!!!
REMEMBER WHEN!!
WE ALL
HAVE MEMORIES in our life, some good memories, some not so good, But they are all memories in our life!!
-
Let's not be ridiculous, that steel guitar solo in the middle before the key change into the final verses is pretty excellent. Almost makes it worth it.
Almost.
-
Yeah maybe but it doesn't make up for the fact that the song nearly put me off the mandolin forever. That's a crime I can't excuse.
Also that key change was the most half-arsed, half-hearted key change I've ever heard in a song. Only made worse by being telegraphed from a mile away.
-
Man I'm doing a lot of hatin' on this page.
If only there was some kind of music compilation that could put the spirit of love in my heart. If only there was a thread for that.
-
I think the automatic vocal harmonizer in the recording is pretty adorable. A friend of mine has one. When he uses it at gigs, sometimes he forgets to hit the footpedal to bypass the effect, so when he speaks he sounds hella Borg status. It gets your attention for sure.
-
Why would anyone cry after making love I mean that just doesn't...

Have you not heard of Kesha?
-

Correct answer.
Best make out/sex I ever had was to Brant Bjork though. When I was still young enough to just make out it was almost always to the first portished album. Emotional, but some fairly nice bass lines in there for grinding (I believe this is important.)
-
DJ fuckin' Frane, yo.
-
This is probably relevant. At the very least, it reminded me that listening to Kavinsky for makeouts is totally weird. (http://www.madatoms.com/site/blog/first-date-mood-music)
