90's alternative mix.

This mix is all about the nineties alternative, mostly in celebration of the days when radio was tolerable, nay, enjoyable to me. It's certainly been a while. This is such a fun mix, and though I think some of these songs probably came out in the late 80's, they're still what I remember listening to during the 90's, which ruled.

Also, I forgot to include "Feeling Good" by Muse, which is a delicious Nina Simone cover I heard in Seven Pounds (and with which I was slightly more impressed than the movie itself).

A mix of Smiths covers!

If you know me at all, you know I love cover songs, be they awesome or horrible. I recently realized that I had a few Smiths songs covered by various artists floating around in my music library and iPod, so I've done my best to compile what I had and then proceeded to scour the ends of the internet looking for. There are two compilation CD's of Smiths covers that I found on Amazon, but neither sounded very good from the sampling I did; all of these are good, however. The tracklist is staggered in a way that puts some more frequently recurring songs apart from each other. If you have a good Smiths cover, please don't hesitate to let me know or even email me with it at rhinestonez@gmail.com. Otherwise, enjoy!!
