Comment:

This mix is #3 in a series of mixes about food that are being compiled by my friends and family. I had a lot of fun making this, and although the mood is pretty uneven I think it's still listenable. I hope that others join in the fun to make more mixes about food, as long as you continue the trend of not repeating songs already used.

1. "So Like Candy" pushes the rules of the mix a little by not being about food or eating per se, but I think I can stretch it to include a metaphor like this.
2. Who the hell knows what "Sugar Hiccup" is about anyway? Besides, it's fun.
3. This whole mix is basically an excuse to have "Autumn Girl" on it. Such a delicious song, by one of my all-time favorite singers/songwriters.
4. "Cinnamon" is so damn wonderful. Again, we have metaphor instead of actual food, but I couldn't resist having it here. I've always thought of skin in terms of cinnamon...something spicy and smooth...it's a great song.
5. With "The Fox", we introduce non-human eating patterns for the first time in this series. I'm quite proud.
6 and 7. How often do we get back-to-back Doris Day and M.I.A.?
8. Back to our country roots...mmmm, bacon.
9. And, now we have Biblical eating. Hooray! All mixes should have Nina Simone on them.
10. I can't believe it took me until song 10 on this mix to have a song that mentions chocolate.
11. I laughed out loud when scrolling through my iTunes and found 112's "Peaches N' Cream". I'm doing a little happy dance that I get to put it on here. It's such a fun nasty dance song.
12. Of course, I have to follow "Peaches N' Cream" with Prince's "Peach". Two songs about sex and peaches. What could be better?
13. I hate "Lollipop" so much that I love it. There are two excuses for its existence: a) getting freaky on the dance floor, and b) this mix.
14. U2's "Lemon" is such an obvious choice to be on this mix that I almost left it off out of spite.
15. Rainer Maria is one of my new addictions. I'm pleased to be able to put them here, even though making the song fit with others was dam' hard.
16. I broke the rules of the mix here by having a song that only mentions food in the title and nowhere in the lyrics. Rules are made to be broken, eh? But I love this song, and the title is so fantastic.
17. I loved "Chocolate" before I even knew what the title was. It's such a perfect little gem of a song and would probably rate a mention of a soundtrack of my life if I made one.
18. Once I broke the seal with the Radiohead song, I justified putting "Cheeseballs in Cowtown" here, even though it's an instrumental. But Bela Fleck balances the Nickel Creek nicely.
19. Same breakage of rules with "Grits".
20. Even though "Too Much Food" is one of my least favorite Jason Mraz songs, it fits the theme of this mix perfectly, and allows me to give props to a local Richmond boy.
