Be Mine - Hipster Love Songs 2012

Since our hipster love song post is the number one post on this blog of all time (thanks Google!), we thought it best to have a second annual edition.  Sure, some of the songs that make it to our list are old, some are popular, but we think it evokes the general mood of most hipsters--confusion.  Is it happy?  Is it sad?  It's both!

There are some artists who make creating this playlist easier than others.  The Magnetic Fields, for one, are quintessential, a true hipster love song band (I Don't Wanna Get Over You? Dire).  On the other end of the spectrum is Belle and Sebastian, a more plucky, upbeat version of the same.  Both are represented on our Hipster Love Songs Playlist in the sidebar (see way below for a track list).

But if we could write a love letter to any band this year, it'd be Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jr., whose covers of countless timeless love song covers, performed live, have made us dance like fools on more than one occasion. Unfortunately we couldn't get the best of their sets on the playlist, so enjoy a little YouTube action--and have a happy Valentine's Day.
