The Ultimate Sap-fest
May 10th, 2008
For a while now I have wanted to make a mix CD of the sappiest, most heart-wrenching songs. Not so much cheesy, I want these to be for reals. I love wallowing in those old feelings, I know! I’m mental. I grew up on The Cure and The Smiths so cut me a break here. Anyhow, I’m taking suggestions, requests and the like. They don’t even have to be the best of all time, they can be, but they can also be stuff most people haven’t heard. Whatever does it for you.
What am I going to do with these songs? Probably make a CD, like I said. I’ll post the final playlist here and heck, if anyone is interested in a copy, well, misery does love company.

This is unrelated but the song “Painting By Chagall” by The Weepies reminds me of you. You should take a listen and let me know if I am on target.

I love alliteration
