  • 5 Bands to Delete from Your “Latenight Lovin” iTunes Playlist


    Nicely done, bro.

    You’ve got her back to your place. That Chris Rock joke totally won her over. She thinks you’re hilarious. And it’s a good thing you put fresh sheets on the bed before the Power Hour pre-game.

    But now, it’s time for a little macbook magic. Let’s throw on some tunes that’ll put her at ease; let her know you’re a classy guy.

    None of that techno stuff, tonight. You put together an extra-special playlist earlier today, in anticipation of this precise moment. Unfortunately, your lady is quite familiar with all the bands on the mix, because every single boyfriend-to-be has wooed her with the exact same songs.

    Playing the following music is a surefire way to turn your intimate evening into a generic snogfest, so do yourself and your gal pal a favor, and banish these artists from your iTunes for good…

    Norah Jones

    Dude, she listens to this at work, in her cubicle. Or – if she’s in school – she plays this while studying. Do you really want to be associated with spreadsheets and Psych 101? 

    John Mayer

    If this guy’s songs come on, I promise you, your date will roll her eyes. She’ll think, “I bet you play ‘Your Body is a Wonderland’ for all the girls…” Know this: not even John Mayer himself uses his music on hook-up mixes.

    Michael Buble

    First of all, the guy’s last name is weird: BOOB-lay. Gross. Second, his lyrics are a bit much. “You’re my everything”? Save it for the second date. And finally, his latest music video takes place in the frozen foods aisle of a grocery store. Pro tip: Hot Pockets are the least sexy thing, ever.

    Jack Johnson

    You might win points for JJ’s “Curious George” soundtrack, but your date will quickly become confused. She’ll wonder, “Um, why does he have a kids movie soundtrack on his computer?” That said, one advantage to these songs is the opportunity to use the sweet line, “Is that a banana in my pocket, or…” She’ll totally be into that. You are SO hilarious, dude.

    The Garden State Soundtrack

    You think she doesn’t know? It’s obvious that you’re thinking about Natalie Portman when this music comes on. She will not be flattered.

    Do you have any iTunes no-no’s? Anything that’s been overplayed on your love-making mix?
