I haven't rocked this since highschool and am revisiting it now. It hits harder after being in love a couple times. Itās sentimental and corny but also vulgar and cruel. Itās much sadder than I remembered. I used to think āWhy didnt you just write 33 really good songsā but now I understand that there will never be enough love songs. āI Don't Wanna Get Over Youā is a beautiful song about agonizing yourself. āLet's Pretend Weāre Bunny Rabbitsā is a wonderful tune about having a relentless erection.Ā

Ok maybe donāt over-do it today, throw it on shuffle (dare I say it) until you read a better rec. and do something else with your Valentineās Day. But at some point, this album is a monster worth spending time with. When youāre in its sprawl, its laser focus doesnāt seem so singular at all. Stephin Merritt keeps finding new variations on his theme, and new sounds to express it with (lo-fi indie rock, chamber pop, folk, country, new wave, synth reggae). Most songs are simple, and sweet, and not that deep, but to call some of it filler would be like calling uneventful mornings with someone you love dispensable. The format isnāt a gimmick, itās the whole beautiful point. 69 Love SongsĀ is almost impossible to digest in one goā like standing at the foot of a mountain, unable to see the whole thing at once. Its scope lies outside our vision.

listened to it 48 times in three or four days (and I'm not even brokenhearted).
songs that are short and straight to the point always get me

šTo me, this is the greatest breakup song.
Honorable mentions:
When You Were Mine - Prince (not to snub Nothing Compares which I also love)
I Get Along Without You Very Well - Chet Baker

Refreshing, crisp, nice to share, what more could you want? Bonus points cos it has a little witch on the bottle that reminds me of the Dead Moon logo.
