Makin' It With a Lady

A few months ago I was inspired - after stumbling upon Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach" video on youtube - to put together a new mix with only women artists. And so, I've slowly been collecting a big fat folder of music, old and new, to make that, um, dream a reality.

But it was only today that I *finally* finished it!

While I've been known to put a mix CD or two together each year for a random selection of friends for no-particular-reason (besides that I like you guys), I recently was recruited into an, um, trading-mix-CDs-by-mail club. Hmm.. that sounds a little dorky when I write it out like that. haha. No matter; the March 1st deadline for the club's Spring cycle was fast approaching and it provided me with the impetus to go and organize the mass amounts of music that I've got saved up for just this purpose.

So, without further ado, may I present:

Makin' It With a Lady

01. Say It Right - Nelly Furtado (video)
02. Papa Don't Preach - Madonna (video)
03. Glamorous Life - Sheila E (video)
04. I Wanna Dance with Somebody - Whitney Houston (video)
05. How Will I Know - Whitney Houston (video)
06. Tell It to My Heart - Taylor Dayne (video)
07. Let The Music Play - Shannon (video)
08. Let's Make Love (Rappinhood Remix) - Cansei de Ser Sexy (blog)
09. Silent Night - Karin Strom (video)
10. 1234 (VanShe Technologic Remix) - Feist (blog)
11. Embrace - PNAU featuring Ladyhawke (blog)
12. Bossy (Braxe & Falke Remix) - Kelis ft Too Short (blog)
13. Love & War (LA Riots Remix) - Photek (blog)
14. Do It Well - Jennifer Lopez (video)
15. Emotions - Mariah Carey (video)
16. Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper (video)
17. Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper (video)
18. Gatekeeper (Pocketknife's Faded Beach Towel Remix) - Feist (blog)

While I wish I could have linked to music videos for all of the tracks above, real ones don't exist for most of the remixes right now (goofball-created photo montages on YouTube with the remix playing in the background don't count in my book).. so for those entries, I linked to blog posts where you can download the songs on mp3. But if you're really interested in 100% visuals, go to YouTube and you'll be able to find most of the original versions, keeping in mind that the remixes are a lot more "dancey".

You know I wouldn't have it any other way. ;)

That said, some of the original songs are pretty cool too.

UPDATE 030208: Long story, but I had to remake the CD; in the process, Shannon left and Sophie Ellis Bextor took her place - but at track #5 (shifting a few tracks down). Murder, I say!
