Comment:

My boyfriend made this mix for me before we started dating. We were at that "We say we're friends but we both hope there's something more" stage, and I was just beginning to explore indie music. This playlist fit the bill perfectly, sort of like a taste of his favorite hipster music and songs he knew I liked with just enough hints of "I like you, and I hope you notice" tossed in. It did the trick: we've been dating for almost a year and a half. The title, by the way, is an inside joke. He told me he had something to give me, and I, trying way too hard to be funny and quirky, asked if it was directions for hot-wiring a car.
