THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE: 
... with VALENTINE'S DAY: I've never been a big Valentine's Day guy, but I have always liked The Replacements' "Valentine" and Elvis Costello's cover of "My Funny Valentine." Beyond that, my thoughts typically drift to the Velvet Underground's "I'll Be Your Mirror," The Beatles' "In My Life," and the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows." I think it's probably very difficult to write a straight-ahead, universal love song, and these three are great. PEEL DREAM MAGAZINE plays KEXP. 10CC's Kevin Godley and Graham Gouldman reteamed for an orchestral 50th anniversary version of “I’m Not In Love.” MJ LENDERMAN & THE WIND play "Joker Lips" on Kimmel.
