The Musical Marriage of Love and Hate: The Feb 13, 2010 Venus Sings Radio Playlist

by Reza Corinne Clifton
aka Venus Sings / Reza Rites / DJ Reza Wreckage

KINGSTON, RI - Earlier this month, on Saturday, February 13, I had the pleasure of hosting what amounted to my 2nd annual Venus Sings Radio for "The Lovers and Haters" of Valentine's Day. If the title didn't clue you in, the idea was to respect and pay homage to both those with significant others and lovely, perfect plans and to those without significant others and magical occasions.

Thanks to the calls and correspondences via Facebook and Twitter, I heard from listeners as close as Wakefield and Providence, and as far away as Spain (thanks, Will!), who guided me and helped me land both sides of the coin. Check out the selections arranged by me - and the peppy and jilted callers and friends who helped shape this very special Venus Sings Radio.
