This Boy's in Love - a Moz compilation for a victim of love

[Bearnextdoor]

hi everyone -- cupid was most unkind and sent an arrow straight through my heart... as such I wanted to make the other victim a 2 CD compilation of Moz tracks since I want to drag him to the Swords tour... I just want to hear suggestions about the track listing. I don't want to bombard him with super rare b-sides though I do have some of my faves in there. I just want him to get an overall taste of what Moz sounds like and hopefully make him a fan. Because the other boy is much older than I, I decided to play Moz's cover of Moon River for him in case he would make a connection but.. that was a complete mistake because he hated it. I don't think it's so bad.. Anyway, here's my comp; I welcome any suggestions for additions/changes. Oh and I tried to make it in chronological order, for no reason.. I am already thinking of deleting Our Frank, btw..

If he's not a Morrissey fan, don't you think 2 cds is a bit too much ? Just a thought. Me I'd run away.
If you want to seduce or keep him just maybe try the seductive tracks? ("Oh yes and which one would those be?" ask people in the background, suddenly interested... )
He might not be swayed by "such a lil thing" or stories about hot hot hairdressers (I like to think not all gay boys are !).

Hmmm. Ah but well. Who knows. Good luck anyway.

what kind of music does he normally like: does he like more faster rocky stuff or is he into slower songs?
come back to camden
now my heart is full


i would def throw in a few b sides as they can outshine the singles(so its about showing him the best songs actually: i can have both, nobody loves us,i`d love to et etc
i also would def include smiths songs beside his solo stuff:
there are so many songs i really cant choose from
there is a light that never goes out , how soon is now are one for the songs most known...but i would include more smiths songs
bu there are so many more..just go through the lyrics

Thanks both of you for your comments. You both have very valid points... This guy isn't very musical.. that is, he doesn't have a passion for any specific artist like you or I do, so it's really irrelevant.. He mentioned that he wanted to see Santana (!!!) ugh.. anyway, I wanted him to get a taste of what Morrissey is like so that's why I went for his most accessible stuff... Thinking back, I do agree that two CDs may be a bit too much.. as far as including Smiths, I really thought about this and I decided against it because I want that to be another chapter for us, I hope, I wish. Also, Morrissey is the artist we will be going to see so, I thought his solo works is what I wanted to focus on...

I wouldn't delete Our Frank. In my opinion, that song is incredibly catchy but add I Changed My Plea To Guilty.
