JOE’s Valentine’s Playlist: Now that’s what I call the ultimate-epic-mega mix for guaranteed romance

Cheese is good on a platter with crackers or a burger, but not in your music playlist

Hitting the right note (sorry) on Valentine's day with a playlist of romantic tunes can be a tricky business. You need to have some classics as well as a few more modern tunes, but you don't want to go all Barry White as that can come off a little too cheesy. Getting the right gift is not that much easier, but there's one place that you can go to make sure you don't end up in the doghouse come Friday, and that's Flowers.ie. We've even got a competition going to win yourself a beautiful dozen roses, which will make sure that you're in perfect harmony with that special someone. Don't fret though, that's why the music snobs of the JOE offices have been doing nothing but preparing draft after rigorous draft of Valentine's playlists for the past few weeks in anticipation of the big day thanks to our mates at Flowers.ie, and you can benefit from all that work without having to lift a finger. Sometimes we worry that we spoil you, y'know. Frank Ocean - Thinkin' Bout You (Ryan Hemsworth Bootleg) Set out your muso credentials early doors with a bootleg remix by Ryan Hemsworth of Frank Ocean's 'Thinkin Bout You', which is made even better by the Canadian DJ. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK28II_D5u0 Marvin Divine - Dreamers A slick beat and a brilliant choice of sample make this track from Marvin Divine a must have. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJOQwHqNcRg Yahtzel - Girls A tune with a good beat, this will set the mood to relaxed within a few seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pttNCIgLmlY Miguel - Do You His voice is smooth as eggs.

That includes your workout playlist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uoo2KioueCQ Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah Buckley's version of the Leonard Cohen classic is arguably better than the original, but don't let any Cohen fans hear you say that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4 Sufjan Stevens - For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti The title of the song is a mouthful, but it's an ear full of pure banjo goodness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59BRCOiQVKI Death Cab For Cutie - Title and Registration The first of two songs featuring Ben Gibbard, this is form one of our favourite albums ever, Transatlanticism. If you don't know it, then you should. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGEyqP0744c The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight Time to lift the tempo a bit with a bit of electro-pop-indie nonsense, once again featuring Ben Gibbard but in a different guise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FqmJy8HzQI Ulatrísta Gold Dayzz (Maribou State Remix) Finish off this work of art by once again showcasing that your musical knowledge is boundless, with another cracking remix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oliOckxM9XM
