Loads of love songs for Valentine’s Day. In the past I’ve always dropped in a ton of ironic songs about love that are hardly love songs. One year, to be ironic, I even played Love For Sale. This year, this month, this week, I didn’t think the world needed my irony – or maybe I didn’t need it right now. So, for the most part, I played a couple hours of un-ironic, unapologetic love songs.
