Escape Movie Soundtrack
I wanted a mix of songs that were loud and hard and that sounded like they’d be in the soundtrack of an action movie.
Cheesy Hits of the Seventies
This is a creation of my friend Doug, who has thrown a 70s party every year for eleven years that is always a huge hit.

Merry Xmas Everyone (5 Disc Set)
My friend Doug and I put this music set together because we both wanted a compilation of Christmas standards, but we wanted the most well-known versions of most of the songs, as well as some interesting or unusal versions. We also tried to get a diverse roster of songs, so that you don’t have to hear the same ten songs over and over again.

Ohio Lesbian Festival Recap

Songs That Turn Me On
This started out to be a CD of songs about sex, but I realized some of the songs that I find arousing aren’t necessarily about sex at all… Like number 7 through 11, which are all songs that have a sort of hypnotic gypsy sound that I find erotic.

Songs To Stalk Someone By (love series vol. 3)
This CD wasn’t originally part of the “Love” series; originally it was supposed to be “kissing”, “love”, and “sex”. But somehow the kissing CD never got off the ground. This CD came about after a dinner-time discussion of Sting’s “Behind the Music” episode on VH-1. He mentioned that couples came up to him and told him they got married to “Every Breath You Take” and it freaked him out because it was a stalker song. From there we started talking about “Stalker” songs in general, and off the top of our heads listed all the songs here.
Apparently there’s a Sarah Maclachlan song we overlooked, but oh well. The first four songs all seem slow and dreamy and romantic, but if you listen closely to the lyrics, they’re pretty creepy. I originally had five Melissa Etheridge songs picked out, but I thought it might go to her head, so I only took three.
