Schooners

This next mix is dedicated to my good friend Admiral Chuck Rettig. Chuck has been a good friend of mine for the past 25 years, and I figured I honor him with a mix. The mix has nothing to do with Chuck per se, but I used a picture of us as the album art. Chuck's birthday is February 28, so, we've always celebrated our birthday together. The fest continues!

Notes:

As usual, I have a bunch of scandahoovian artist on the mix, as well as some female vocalists. I also have a bunch of bears on this. Some of my friends got evaluation copies of this mix earlier this month. I had a little difficulty with the bear segment of the mix. I realized that the electric version of Little Brother by Grizzly Bear was a little too slow. So for as much as I liked it I had to swap it out for the original version. I had only recently gotten turned on to Minus the Bear, and wanted to have one of their tracks on the mix. There were a number of other songs either by Bear Bands or about bears that didn't make it in, but I feel I should mention them here in case the listener chooses to get more bears into their musical diet:

• Wax Fang - Bipolar Bear
• Bear Colony - Hospital Rooms Aren't For Lovers
• Bear Hands - Bad Blood
• The Bear Quartet - Carsick
• Grumpy Bear - World Full of Nothing
• Okkerville River - Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear
• Page France - Mr. Violin and Dancing Bear
• Kitty Hawk - Bear in the Morning
• Duke Ellington - Jack the Bear
• Elvis Presley - Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear
• John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers - The Bear
• Radiohead - Hunting Bears
• Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Honeybear
• and a very bizarre mashup of The Knife and Grizzy Bear - Hearbeats vs. Knife

Check back tomorrow for another mix.
