Just In Time For Valentine's Day: Slug from Atmosphere Dishes Romantic Advice For The Onion A.V. Club

Download: Atmosphere - "Don't Stop"

Today is Valentine's Day, and MFR can't think of a better way to celebrate V-Day than heading on over to the AV Club and reading Slug's advice to 14 questions submitted by readers themselves. As he does on his records, Slug waxes philosophical on matters romantic.

This is the Minneapolis-based rapper's response to the first question picked by the AV Club editors.

Every couple of years, some girl I'm dating will just spontaneously burst into tears after sex. I've talked to guy friends of mine, and they've had it happen, too. What the hell is the deal? Just some female thing I'm not getting? Or do I have an effect on women that reduces them to tears?

Slug: Crying is a common defense mechanism for the women who sleep with you. Don't get neurotic about it, though. They are not defending themselves from you. They are defending themselves from themselves and their overwhelming desire to burst into laughter.

Classic. Read more of Slug's wit and wisdom here.

Atmosphere's forthcoming album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, is due on April 22nd.
