Happy Friday, and thanks for all your songs about the weekend. A handful of the near misses were great too. Nice to be introduced to a King Crimson song I actually Like (The Book of Saturday) and to discover Jack's terrific album The Jazz Age.
As most songwriters know, casual sex is an oxymoron. I'm looking for those not-quite-love songs that deal with one-night stands, from lascivious boasting to conflicted musings to expressions of morning-after regret. I'll keep it broad; if a song deals with a purely sexual relationship then it doesn't have to be one night.
