Music to Do It To: The Dresden Dolls

filed under: Music To Do It To by Melissa Gira

It’s no secret that the right music can set the tone for the perfect night of getting it on… and that the wrong music can destroy even the best chemistry. But how to find the right music?

Enter “Music To Do It To,” Sexerati’s latest feature. We scour the airwaves (or at least Last.fm Radio) in search of all the hottest make out tracks. Know a band we should feature? Send us a tip.

Sounds Like: A piano and a drumkit were abandoned at the Kit Kat Klub, removed to CBGB’s, and set upon by the likes of Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione. This ain’t no goth disco: this is pure, debauched, world-weary and wet-making punk cabaret.

Perfect For: Driving (like her hands on the keys), pounding (crashing cymbals), throat-pulsing (she’s got range), breathless… as you like. And if his hard-on wilts at lyrics on bad girl sex with older men (”if you kiss me mister you must think im pretty/if you think so mister you must want to fuck me/if you fuck me mister it must mean you love me“) or on the virtues of coin-operated boys (”made of plastic and elastic/he is rugged and long-lasting/who could ever ever ask for more“) then why is he in your bed in the first place?

Where to Find It: On the Dresden Dolls site.

    I like some of their stuff. A radio station here in AZ plays some of their songs.

    Tres indie, but y’know, I still go for the classics. Gimmie some Mozart.
