Let's bring this community into the new year! This is just a short mix to leave in my crush's car stereo tomorrow. I burnt it on one of those nifty lightscribe CDs...but it's got a picture of a cassette tape on it, at least.

So I'm trying to make up a jail/delinquncy/crime themed romance mix. I know it sounds a bit complicated, but here's what I have so far:
Jailbird(for your love)- The Exploding Hearts
Chaingang of love- The Raveonettes
Chains- the Beatles
You are the light (by which I travel into this and that)- Jens Lekman
Rebel, Rebel- David Bowie
They're all either retro or a bit retro sounding, but they don't have to be! I know I'm missing a ton of stuff, any suggestions at all?
