Comment:
Musical matchmaking - each pair are clearly a perfect match. Patti needs Catherine Wheel to tell her to just 'lay down' and relax. Aimee has had trouble committing but Magnet is clearly still in love with her. Tom's been jilted, the freewheeling Joni could make him forget. Polly's very bitter but is trying to move forward, and luckily Josh has fallen in love with her at first sight (though he keeps calling her Kathleen for some reason). Fiona is just the kind of playful, egotistical woman Richmond Fontaine need to break their cycle of falling for the wrong women. Bic could be nudged into the arms of Lou; she needs the assurance that she will always be loved. Jolie is dating a loser and Adem's relationship is faltering - they need to be introduced. As for Devendra and Vashti, well, they've found each other.This mix was made with tongue firmly in cheek. Hope you like it. :)

Feedback:
really cool idea fitting the song personalities together, and its well done
alas, i know far too few of these songs, but what a brilliant concept!
