this reception has two brides (or she got ploughed at her wedding and all hell broke loose)

Artist Song
magnetic fields  the book of love  
tiger trap  words and smiles 
laura watling  my fondest wish 
mates of state  nber legitimate 
helen love  shifty disco girl 
belle and sebastian  the wrong girl 
ladytron  flicking your switch 
the pixies  subbacultcha 
the softies  an awful mess 
the velvet underground and nico  i'll be your mirror 
television personalities  la grande illusion 
laura cantrell  the whiskey makes you sweeter 
versus  jealousy 
television  friction 
14 iced bears  cut 
autocollants  we can't have it all 
bob dylan  one of us must know (sooner or later) 
trembling blue stars  less than love 
heavenly  and the birds aren't singing 
the crabs  bricks of gold 
faces  ooh la la 
shannon wright  i started a joke 

Comment:

loosely based on true events...i went to a wedding a few weeks back where the reception was held in a hall with three reception halls. the bride from the wedding next door was so wasted she ended up trying to get a drink from the bar at the wedding reception i was at! so, assuming that a girl who gets so blasted at her wedding that she gets lost may be harboring some doubts about her nuptials, the girl in this story fucks a guy from the reception next door and ruins everything. nice huh?

Great mix Brandt! (Art imitating life imitating art....) I'd like to add another possible scenario to this whole "affair d'amour": what if, just for grins, the bride who "wandered" was just feeling this "Strange Power"...., the kind you get from an event where you're the center of attention...., the feeling that nothing-and no one, can stop you; maybe she felt that surge, aided by strong drink as well....and decided: "what the hell, let's go see what these guys are doing...grab a drink here...make smiles and be on my merry way." Liberation within newfound confining legalities....to paraphrase Charlie Chan: "Strange things permit themselves the luxury of occurring." (Nice Television pick, and the trembling blue ones make their preordained appearance.)

VERY nice, Brandt. I got a kick out of this story when you mentioned it the other day.

Looks great Brandt! Based on the title, I was afraid that this could be the wedding mix you said you might make for me! ;) Love the Laura Waitling (her album is high on my want list), Tiger Trap, Helen Love and Heavenly.

Weddings always seem to reveal your friends & family for who they really are. Lots to love here, especially the TVP's & Television.
