I've got a lot of alternative mixes coming soon. These are the only tracks I know from Best Kissers in the World and Whipped Cream, both from a Stoli Vodka promo CD which for early 90's has a solid tracklist. Our local independent radio station has been playing Mrs. Robinson quite often lately, reminded me what a great album that was from. Included this Frank Black track because of the new Scott Pilgrim Netflix show. Meat Puppets because I had recently finished "Corporate Rock Sucks" the SST records story. The Cure remixed by Keith LeBlanc? Yes please, I want more. Then I'll admit I've been on a Pretty Girls Make Graves kick after ready the Dharma Bums. Then several classics that don't need much introduction. True Body is hte newest track on here, and don't really recall how I came across this gem. The Editors are another group I should pay more attention to. The New Fast Automatic Daffodils came to my attention through this track on MTV's 120 Minutes. I loved the funky baggy sometimes dubby sound that made them stand out from so many other alternative bands. I keep meaning to do an overview mix of them, but haven't given it the attention I should. Zola Jesus is another recent track, and she is magnificent in all she does. Ending with perhaps a more rare cut of a favorite track.
The title of this mix comes from my daughter, I try to write down all the funny quips she comes up with and this one stood out. Hope you enjoy. YouTube playlist is pretty good as most of these have actual official videos.
