Comment:

The title comes from an "inside joke" with a friend of mine. This mix turns on the incredible Tom Waits tune. Why "I hope I don't fall in love with you, I hope you don't fall in love with me, I think I just fell in love with you"? So I made up the story. Guy's looking for love, Guy finds girl, the flirting begings. All of a sudden the Waits tune hits, Whats going on here-it was going good. The Marshall Crenshaw tune explains. "lets forget about your boyfriend...". Still its looking good for a while but then trouble in paradise. It becomes one sided. The Glass Bead Game represents how fragile (glass) love is and indeed love is a game. How does this end? Is it Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan boy gets the girl (vote for The Cure's High) or is it Humphrey Bogart walking away from Ingrid Bergman ala Cassablanca even though they love each other ( vote for Ten CC's I'm Not In Love. The picture is of my "SAD EYED LADY".

My vote goes towards Ten CC's I'm Not In Love ... But then again, I'm a cynic... ;)

i am afraid i can't vote on this one, i am apolitical and besides a can't get past the waits tune.
1-6 is incredible.
i will try to absorb the rest.

stay tuned!

This is a really good mix. Love Count Me In.
I vote I'm Not In Love (both Crissy Hynde, and Fun Loving Criminals do exceptional covers of this song).
