This fornight Brian has mourned the loss of Whitney Houston and celebrated Valentine's Day with a Marks & Spencer meal-for-two for one. The combination of perfect pop music and a full tummy has made him come over all soppy, so here's his playlist all about love. Sick.

Our resident playlist-putting-together owl Brian has always been a big fan of 70s singer-songwriter Dory Previn, and was very sad to hear about her death this week. In case you're not already a Dory fan, he has collected his favourite of her songs to show you what you've been missing.
