A Mix for Angela Chase and Rayanne Graff

              As mentioned the other night on the show, I stayed up late one night last week battling insomnia by concocting a mix for Angela and Rayanne of ‘My So-Called Life.’
Why create something imaginary that will never be appreciated by its intended recipients, you ask?
Why, I don’t know! Though I often have more fun creating hypothetical mixes than real ones—in fact, I find it easier to create a good mix for someone semi-imaginary, since you can throw caution to the wind and go with your gut choices, without fear of repercussions or the recipient’s judgment.
            Anyway, I imagine that star-crossed BFF’s Angela and Rayanne would slip this baby into the tape deck after leaving a party (where Jordan Catelano was likely to be found acting nonchalant, until he said something enigmatic-yet-douchey—Rayanne would have then unleashed the sass, Angela would have gotten upset but remained infatuated, and the two would’ve left vowing to get back at him.) They would then hop into the car and listen to Mazzy Star while driving into the sunset, pleased to be friends amidst the emotional turmoil of mid-nineties teendom. SIGH!
           Though the following are not necessarily the coolest choices (pretty sure Rayanne would scoff at some of these- good thing she won’t really see them! Angela would probably be more open-minded)- I’d hope that they would still appreciate the spirit of these songs. Tracklist below.

A mix for Angela Chase and Rayanne Graff to listen to whilst driving into the Sunset:

1. Twin Sister- Lady Daydream
2. Fleetwood Mac- Dreams
3. Mazzy Star- Fade Into You
4. Des'Ree- You Gotta Be  (Remember when this song MADE 'The Next Karate Kid'? SWANK! We're not worthy!)
5. Smashing Pumpkins- 1979
6. The National- Lit Up
7. John Cale- All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem cover)
8. Wye Oak- Take It In
9. Kate Bush- Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)
10. The xx- Intro
11. Lookbook- Steal The Night

Lady you should know about: Rita Lee

A founding member of Brazilian psych-rock band Os Mutantes, Rita Lee left the band and struck out on her own in the early '70s. She partnered with Lucia Turnbull to form Cilibrinas do Éden, and eventually became a solo rock artist with Tutti Frutti as her backing band.

There is some debate as to whether Lee left Os Mutantes voluntarily or not, but either way - she's had a successful run on her own. With more than 20 solo releases, Lee is not only a gifted singer and actress, but she's made her career on her own terms, even refusing to join the most recent Os Mutantes reunion. Lee has also written children's books and hosted a radio comedy show and a TV talk show, and she's well known as an animal rights activist.

A superstar in Brazil, but barely known in the United States, she's collaborated with everyone from Marisa Monte to Caetano Veloso. And as of 2009, at age 62, Lee was still touring. Not too shabby!

Basses Wild: Kira Roessler of Black Flag

"Basses Wild" is an opportunity for Girl Germs to showcase a female bass player in a band that we might not normally play on the show - a "wild card," if you will (get it?).

Last week we featured Kira Roessler of Black Flag. This is a band that might immediately bring to mind a certain Mr. Henry Rollins, but Roessler was just as much a member as Rollins (oops, we mean Henry Garfield) was. She replaced founding member Chuck Dukowski after a stint in another punk band, DC3 and was the band's bass player for several years in the '80s. She appears on Slip it In, Loose Nut, the 1984 live album, The Process of Weeding Out, Family Man and In My Head.

Roessler was married to Mike Watt of fIREHOSE (a basses wild marriage!) until 1994. The couple formed the double-bass duo Dos (and were performing as of a couple years ago). And to top it all off, she's trained as an engineer and is an Emmy award-winning dialogue editor who works on tons of TV and film scripts.

Here she is performing with Watt in Dos


...and with Black Flag
