EAR FARM's Valentine's Day Mix 3: Easily the Cheesiest

Ah Valentine's Day. That syrupy sweet, send flowers to your special someone, son of a gun of a shopping day holiday. If the lords of commerce didn't make off with all of your available credit over the Christmas/Chanukkah season then here comes good ol' February 14th to finish you off. But, but, you don't have to go spending money at the chocolatier, or Hallmark, to get the most out of this holiday. The way we here at EAR FARM see it, whether you've got a sweetheart or not, chances are you'll be listening to music today. And that's where EAR FARM comes in...

My own favorite gift to give (and receive) on this special day has always been the old reliable personalized mix. Not the most original idea, but there is a great deal of genius (and/or love, lust, longing, displeasure, disdain...) that can be relayed in the execution of a well put together mix. The past two years EAR FARM has posted a couple of very special (cheesy) mixes for your enjoyment (links below) and it's become a bit of a tradition. So, this year EAR FARM is back with another very special Cheesy Valentine's Day Mix. And this time it's all about SLOW JAMS.

Slow jams: "the term is most commonly reserved for soft-sounding songs with heavily emotional or romantic lyrical content". In other words, it's the cheesiest EF Valentine's Day mix yet. Irresistibly cheesy. We've highlighted some choice "emotional or romantic" lyrical content from each jam below.

Please enjoy this special gift from EAR FARM to all of you. Download it and give it to your sweetheart and tell him/her that you put the mix together yourself, or enjoy listening to it together and watch the sparks fly (remember, this is a mix meant to be listened to first song to last - it's better that way, trust me), OR (if you're without sweetheart) download this over-the-top get-in-your-pants cheesy slowjam fest and burn it to CD and smash it. One way or another, we hope you enjoy. Click below to view/download the mix.

On a card which could say it better"
