Comment:

I mixed this between September 10-12, 2004 for my friend Cassie's birthday.

Before working out the mix, I asked her what kind of music she would like to recieve. She replied with a list of musical interests so specific and varied, it subsequently turned into one of the most challenging mixes I've ever tackled.
Among other things, she asked for:
*Music from the 90's
*Female vocalists
*Quirky vocals
*Good beats
*Funny songs
*Techno

With that varied and disparate hodge-podge of sounds to go with, I tore through my cd collection and came up with a pretty cohesive mix. I didn't have much techno and unfortunately wound up cutting most of the female vocalists, but I'm happy with the final product.

The cover and inside art was lifted from the internet and features an old ad for a roller skating Barbie doll knock-off. The title comes from the Soul Coughing number and I burned about 6 copies total.
