11-14-13: Now It's All Done, But We Put Some Memories In Our Minds

"What's A Girl Supposed To Do" was written by famed songwriters Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry. It was first recorded by Leslie Gore, but a more suggestive version was later recorded by The Shangri-Las. This mix includes both versions as well as the original song demo by Ellie Greenwich.

"Too Young" is a standard from 1951, with the most famous version by Nat King Cole recorded that year. A previous mix included Marvin Gaye's rare version. This mix includes Cole's hit version as well as a rare Peggy Lee version and a take by an early-teenaged Michael Jackson.

"Loosen Up" by E.T. White & His Great Potential Band is an obscure funk rip off of Archie Bell & The Drells' "Tighten Up".

The rest: the album version of Talking Heads' "Mind", Kool Keith aggressive "Return Of The B. Girl" with British lady rapper T Love, Gang Starr's jazzy "What You Want This Time?", the melodic Stevie Wonder collaboration "Bring Your Sweet Stuff Home To Me" by the Pointer Sisters, the Barry White-sampling "Verbal Papp" by X Clan, the atmospheric "the Nigh Is Blue" by zibraphonist Red Norvo, the suggestive "Queen Of The South Sea Isles" by Hawaiian Beach Combers, the Indonesian dirge "Tjimpolengan (Sunda-Java)" by Nji R, Hadji Djoeaehn, the winsome "Get Along Home, Miss Cindy" by Corn Dodgers & Hoss Hair Pullers, the forlorn "The Spirit Of The Golden Juice" by F.J. McMahon, the 80s-inspired "You're Not Good Enough" by Blood Orange, the bouncy "Please Don't Break My Heart" by The Affair featuring Alyson, Oran "Juice" Jones' 80s hit "The Rain", Twilight's slow jam "Love From You" and the defiant "Trouble Is My Name" by Dum Dum Girls.
