Ladies can rock out too! Compiling this mix I guess I had a subconscious thought to show ladies not only covering other songs but those made famous by a man or group of men. I was only picking tracks that I was especially interested in that moment ...

| 1 | St. Vincent : Actor Out of Work |
|
A co-worker who knows exactly how bizarre my music tastes are recommended this artist to me. He showed me the music video first and I was so transfixed that I went home and got the song for myself. It sounds a bit robotic and 80s and I love it.

| 2 | She & Him : Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want |

Zooey's voice is doing a weird lilting thing in this track. Aping Morrissey to almost perfection.

| 4 | The Kills : Crazy (Live) |
|
Not really my particular favorite of this group, but Allison's stripped-down vocals really reel me in. I think she's a singer that harkens back to the 1950s.

| 5 | Katy Perry : Black and Gold |
|
I swear this is the only Katy Perry song I have. I swear! I got this on a compilation of covers and I heard some really great songs on said CD but I kept going back to this mysterious song. I had never heard the original. It was written by Australian singer Sam Sparro whose version is lovely.

| 8 | Jenny Lewis : Trying My Best to Love You |

Featuring Zooey Deschanel. Jenny and Zooey together. Now if I could only be best friends with them. I love the girl group vibe of this song. It kind of drags and the beginning but the last 70 seconds make up for it.

Say what you will about the movie. I kind of liked it. This is what drew me to the movie I think in the first place (and then Jim Sturgess). I just thought this unknown girl could sing. One of the greatest pop songs.

This is great stuff! I especially like Duke Spirit, Kills, Detroit Cobras, and (pauses to make sure noone is listening) Katy Perry. Rock on, ladies.

Having heard this mix by way of the FTOTZ club, I can say that this mix does indeed rock. Thanks again. I am really digging the Duke Spirit and I must say that the mix wraps up so nicely with the last few songs.
