Okay, so some of you may see this as some kind of list abuse being that there is no mention of a certain band (although the patient among you will find the Gentle Waves a bit further on) but if we expand our definition of the list to be "a community of music lovers" - not too much of a stretch - then I think this is somewhat appropriate. Especially since this is a day for lovers to celebrate their love. And since I not only love music, but I also love each and every one of you - no, really - I wanted to share something with you on this day, which is already over for many of you, I know. It's the special Valentine's Day edition of my favorite morning radio program, John in the Morning on KCMU. John has hand picked and taken requests for everyone's favorite songs about Luurve and they are all lovingly laid out for you below. You may find some of your favorites. And if you feel like you want to get some of this hot lovin' again, you can even listen to it live on the web at www.kcmu.org.
