love-melove me not

Lady Lamb, Joyce Manor, Ladyhawke, Okkervil River’s Will Sheff, Lucero’s Ben Nichols, Xenia Rubinos, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Tacocat, Surfer Blood, Nikki Lane and many more have contributed to two new Valentine’s Day playlists for Amazon Music. A mix of originals and covers with 70 tracks in all, one playlist, Love Me, is on the positive side of love, while the Love Me Not playlist is for bitter and brokenhearted.

You need to be an Amazon Music subscriber (or Amazon Prime member) to listen to the whole thing, but you can stream Will Sheff’s cover of his onetime collaborator Roky Erikson’s “You Don’t Love Me Yet,” as well as Tacocat’s cover of Dolly Parton’s “Why’d You Come In Here Lookin’ Like That,” Joyce Manor’s take on Lemonheads’ “Into Your Arms” and Hurray for the Riff Raff’s cover of The Ronnettes’ “Be My Baby,” as well as the full tracklists for both playlists, below.
