Yes Homo Pop Princess Mix 6
Kiersten Holine has excellent taste in music. Her cover of the Beach Boy's, "God Only Knows" is the second track on this new mix. Above she covers another one of Stereofat's favorites, The Morning Benders. What? You also like Andrew Bird and Fleet Foxes??!! *Fumbles for ring pop to propose.* Check out her website here.
Blondie makes some appearances on the mix and I am partuclarly fond of her French version of, "Sunday Girl." Some comments from the youtube page by native French speakers said that they could not understand one word of the song. I am not a French speaker so it all just sounds like pretty noises to me, but what's your prognosis Dr. Tres Quais? Can you pick up what she is putting down?
Blondie- Sunday Girl (French version)
Sharon Van Etten is all kinds of awesome. She has a heavy presence on the blogs I frequent and rightfully so. She crafts such pretty alluring music it's hard to not be drawn in by her voice.
NPR Music said, "Her songs are heartfelt without being overly earnest; her poetry is plainspoken but not overt, and her elegant voice is wrapped in enough rasp and sorrow to keep from sounding too pure or confident."
Word. Sample her song, "Love More" below. Yellow Ostrich does a bad ass cover of this that will be on an upcoming Indie mix as well.

Josie Cotton found her way onto the mix with her 1982 hit, "Johnny Are You Queer?" I had never heard this song and I was surprised when I found out it was from 1982. I thought it was a retro sounding modern release. Either way it's a pretty funny song, especially to have on a mix called, Yes Homo Pop Princesses.
Karen O. is kind of weird. She doesn't scare me like Gaga though, I think Karen could probably wear a dead hamster dress and pull it off as opposed to the Gaga monster. That's lovely Karen, the blood of the hamsters really brings out your eyes. If it was Gaga I would burn it with fire. I take joy in watching Gaga fall off her piano; if it was Karen I would hold my laughter and help her to her feet. This acoustic version of, "Little Shadow" is on the mix and it's good.
