eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - "Girls on Yachts Mix" (2011)

Yacht Rock is primarily a male dominated genre and it took me a minute and some homework to create, in my opinion, "the first" all female (Sir Elton John doesn't count) Yacht Rock Mix. If you don't understand what Yacht Rock is, in a nutshell, it's the soft, funky and smoothly produced rock/pop of the seventies. Steely Dan is a textbook example but fuck those guys right now. It's all about the ladies in 2012.

VA - Girls In The Garage Vol. 1 (1987)

Here's one out of eight-something volumes of all girl, all underground garage groups from way back when. A little twang, a little fuzz and a whole lot of female attitude. Dare I say it, adorable.

Girl on girl action

Meet The Ronettes - Compiled by eL Stinkeyes (2010)

Throughout the decades there have been many adaptations on the "Girl Group." The Go-Go's, The Bangles, En Vogue, The Spice Girls, onto the flashes in the pan of "lo-fi" bands today and you get the picture. None of these come close to the original idea. There are many factors involved here besides the ladies. There were A-list songwriters, arrangers, musicians, singers, and producers all behind them working on "the" hit. Out of all these pioneering femmes, my favorite would have to be The Ronettes.
Ronnie Spector's uncanny vibrato. Beehives. Tight-ass skirts. Attitude. Sex Appeal. All these elements added up to revolutionizing the role of woman in song and on stage. One of the first rain drops of the women's rights storm brewing in the sixties.



You go girls.

eXCLUSIVE - eL Stinkeyes - "Euro '60 Mix" (2010)

This mix started out with a Italian girl pop theme then I got bored and broadened it to European girl pop then the ADD kicked in and I settled on a blend of weird shit and pop gems all from the swingin European 60's. Add one part pop idol, one part flower power, one part ye-ye and one part soundtrack and mix well. Serve immediately.
