• Songs to slow-dance to in an empty parking lot

• Songs for surviving that time of the month. Maybe music that makes it tolerable and keeps you from freaking at everyone you meet?

• Songs to drunkenly ride my bike to while the cops are chasing me

• My girlfriend’s into noise music. How the hell can I make her a romantic mixtape?

• Make me a five-song introduction to the music scene in your city. If I wanted to start going to shows in (blank), I would do well to start with these bands.
