the spatial dynamics of the queen size bed.

Side A
Artist Song
the pixies  bone machine 
my bloody valentine  when you sleep 
the beatles  i'm only sleeping 
the eyes  when the night falls 
the shins  the celibate life 
class  we don't have to take our clothes off 
tiger trap  you're sleeping 
television personalities  magnificent dreams 
the strangeloves  night time 
the zombies  she's not there 
apples in stereo  time for bed 
the wedding present  dreamworld 
holiday flyer  wrap the covers up over my head 
field mice  when you sleep 
magnetic fields  lovers from the moon 
Side B
ArtistSongBuy
the softies  sleep your troubles away 
belle and sebastian  sleep the clock around 
buddy holly  midnight shift 
electric prunes  i had too much to dream (last night) 
big star  when my baby's beside me 
the lucksmiths  don't bring your work to bed 
tokidoki  dreamsongs 
rem  dream (all i have to do) 
the smiths  last night i dreamt somebody loved me 
belly  now they'll sleep 
the cure  let's go to bed 
stars  tonight 
tom waits  innocent when you dream (78) 
laura watling  early morning walk 
   

Comment:

this is digital (110). an examination of the the relationship between singleness and owning a large bed, issues of negative space and the inevitable choice to settle for second best or continue the search. this tape should answer the age old question, "if you are used to sleeping in a big bed alone, will you ever be able to sleep next to someone and get a decent night's sleep?" inspired by recent events.

When it's really the right person, the sleep comes like bliss. Great mix, by the way.

when it's the right person, who needs sleep anyways?

What!? No "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"? LOL "Asleep" was also another possibility from the Smiths, but I like your choice better.

Lovely mix. To answer your question - I think you *can* get used to it (sleeping next to someone and getting a decent night's sleep), but it may take you a while. However, at the start of a relationship, how much do you sleep, anyway?

Barenaked Ladies' Who Needs Sleep? would have been perfect! :)

This is one of the most interesting themes and best-executed theme tapes I've ever seen. This tape could be a classic someday.

i knew a guy who had two beds in his room, a double and a single.... which was a little bizarre, but hey whatever works for you. very very nice mix.
