Comment:
How to underhandedly introduce your parents to new music: keep a close eye on the ratio of familiar::unfamiliar.(Beware Eartha Kitt's tendency to equate volume with flinch-worthy nasal vocals.)
Feedback:
I think I'd black out if my parents listened to the Detroit Cobras.
#13 is the besssst
I'd fall for it. Is #17 a cover of Cat Stevens?
Heyyyyy, this is your first mix. Fantastic, friend. And WWJD for a good tequila shot anyway?
Funny premise, and good picks. So what is the right ratio? If you have a moment, check out The Parents' Guide To Hip-Hop.
Sweet!
You got a cool login name. You also got a keen sense to the proper marketing of toons. This is one of those keepers is the way I look at it.
A cunning plan and a groovy mix -- nicely done. Parents eh? -- without their offspring, would they cease to exist? Hmmm...
