Swing Your Rowley: Guilty Pleasures 2007
December was my
month to send musical contributions through a mix tape club. So I
pulled an all- nighter on December 29th and delivered some of
the mix tapes to friends at brunch the next day.
Since my New Year's resolution is to post at least once a week, I will post a song a week for you Voxers, beginning with the mix tape's concept and the first song.
Guilty Pleasures is a BBC radio show highlighting all those songs you secretly adore. Its host is U.K radio and T.V. personality Sean Rowley he’s the guy on the cover of Oasis’ “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory” and the show has sparked a whole “Guilty Pleasures” movement in Britain. I found out about the radio program/movement when I Googled “Rowley” (my surname) and was brought to a mix tape club page with a guilty pleasure compilation called "Swing Your Rowley" by DJ Frankie Pigeon.
Now here's the first of my musical indulgences:
1). “Mix Tape” – Katie Monster and Princeton-
Avenue Q
I’ve wanted to use this song as a Mix Tape first track FOR-EV-AR! One of my guilty pleasures is musicals; LOVE them! Little Pirate and I dance around the house to “Into the Woods” and “Wicked”. The N.Y. cast recording of Avenue Q is one my faves – and one my son will not listen to until he’s a teenager.
