connection!

allow me to be the first to express my excitement at our ability to finally congregate! go team mix tape! well accept for angie, who is busy getting married and stuff--- next time though. basically you know my mix, but i wanted to publish anyway:

1990 wind beneath my wings by bette midler (well it won the grammy in 1990)
1991 under the bridge by red hot chili peppers
1992 friday i'm in love by the cure
1993 heart shaped box by nirvana
1994 lightening crashes by live
1995 who will save your soul by jewel
1996 untouchable face by ani difranco
1997 bachelorrete by bjork
1998 only you by portishead
1999 wicked games by chris isaak 

i'm gonna be honest. i wasn't super pumped for this mix. i was like, 90s music- blah, i'm over it but then when i started looking at my music collection i realized (duh!) these were obviously my formative musical days and there were a lot of people i left off. pearl jam, weezer, lisa loeb, alanis morrisette, shawn colvin, radiohead and one special lady- i loved this song. in fact, i went and saw her perform twice and guess what? she rocked.

and where have all the cowboys gone? [READ: cowgirls] good question paula cole. good one. prolly my favorite song on my mix is untouchable face by ani- it's such a classic. and i've seen her perform like 6 times. but pretty much i love every song on my mix. every single one.

and now for critique time!!
Christine:
your mix is my favorite for sure. i loved so many of your songs that it was difficult for me to pick my very most favorite, so i had to give myself some guidelines. i decided to go with linger by the cranberries. i really wanted to put them on my mix too, but to my dismay i no longer have any of their music in my collection. also this band is like the quintessential band for 90s music in my white, suburban world, you know? alanis morisette was a close, close second. and also fiona apple and no doubt. oh man christine, you just nailed this one.

now my least favorite is a no brainer, given our conversation at the paradise bakery. N Sync. anything N Sync is not gonna fly for me. you get it.


Allison:
i really appreciated your spice girls on this mix. if you can get em on there, you should. but my favorite was obviously sinead o'connor nothing compares. i mean come on. that song is a classic and it always slays me. i do think you need to see an updated picture of her though. although, to be fair i think it's not the best picture she can take.

 whatevs.
anyway my least favorite song, as you now know is the 311. i recently was working the ER and they had some sort of 311 reunion concert. basically, the ER was full of people that were so inebriated at that concert they were sent to the ER. jerks. i think that tells us all a little something about that band. and kearns. which is where the concert was.

excited for next month!!!
