Prince's music is made of sex. Your first instinct might be to go with his classic '80s repertoire, and that wouldn't be wrong, but 2006's "Black Sweat" is nothing to balk at either. The song is pure lust: The ultra-minimal beat and understated delivery underscore desire without going overboard.

Maybe lesbian robots just aren't what you're into. Then again, maybe they are what you're into. In that case, Bjork's video for "All Is Full of Love" totally has you covered. The surreal song is slow, sensual, some of Bjork's best work, and ought to get the night moving in the right direction.

If there's any rock band in D.C. that is all about setting the mood just right, it's Poor But Sexy. With "Cut That Hair," singer David Brown reminds you to look sharp and get classy. If you want a lover to treat you right, you gotta look good. If you can find a ticket, be sure and catch them opening for The Dismemberment Plan at the 9:30 Club this Saturday. Otherwise, you can catch them tonight at The Galaxy Hut.

Jane's Addiction: "Ocean Size (Demo)"
Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell never had to resign himself to just one image—he was pasty-faced goth, stoner beach hippie, and Robert Plant all wrapped up in one emaciated package. On this demo for the song “Ocean Size,” taken from the forthcoming rarities set A Cabinet of Curiosities, he gets a chance to try on just about every one of those masks. Farrell sings, he hollers, and he yodels, and, even though it’s a pretty sloppy demo, if you close your eyes you’ll feel like you’re standing in a weird, boundless, Anton Corbijn landscape.

Chrisette Michele: "What You Do (ft. Ne-Yo)"
Judging by the sound of Chrisette Michele’s latest single, “What You Do”, the Def Jam-signed R&B singer might be the only person to ever actually buy and listen to a Macy Gray album. But it’s a good thing she did—the song’s smooth, neo-soul vibe makes for pretty good springtime listening.

Bjork: "Nattura (Switch Remix)"
Switch, producer of MIA masterpiece Kala, flips the knobs around on Bjork’s benefit single “Nattura,” wiping out Brian Chippendale’s gonzo drumming and Thom Yorke’s creepy moans in favor of grimy synths. But this is a Bjork song, so there’s a good chance that the tapes were brought to his door by an Icelandic pixie riding on the back of a whale-human hybrid. Try as he might, he just can’t get the weird out of it.
