Music selection is a deal-breaker when you're trying to get a girl in the mood. Chuck nailed it by using Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings' sexy "You're Gonna Get It" during Alba's seduction scene. The band's latest effort, 100 Days, 100 Nights, is another batch of soulful-with-a-capital-S gems that sound simultaneously retro and fresh. Try "Let Them Knock," where Jones sings over a cool two-chord boogie, "I ain't answering the door for no one until my man and I are through." For a retro sound that's, you know, technically retro, check out last year's Love Is the Song We Sing: San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970, a four-disc retrospective celebrating music from the city that defined free love in the '60s. The staples are there -- Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe & the Fish -- but the real treat is hearing how the city's scene covered sunny pop (We Five), garage freak outs (the Oxford Circle) and pre-power pop (Flamin' Groovies) in such a short span of time.
Get techy
iPod nano
List: $199
Chumby
List: $179.95
In Chuck, Cook gives Alba the ultimate sign of affection (in her mind, anyway): a pebble. But if you're looking to give something from this century, try Apple's brand-new pink iPod nano; it also includes a free engraving option, so you can tell her how you feel
. With the touch-screen, portable Chumby, she can keep up to date on traffic, news, weather, her Netflix queue, whatever. Like a Reuters feed to her favorite sites, it works wherever there's a wi-fi connection, and is light and small enough to carry around in her purse.
