I’ve mentioned the New England pop act Miss Fairchild in these pages before, but somehow my particular influence hasn’t rocketed them into the fame stratosphere quite yet. In an effort to promote their just-out (and quite good) Won’t Be Your Kept Woman EP, the band has released a mixtape by occasional member Sammy Bananas. It mixes the band’s own music with a ton of thoroughly enjoyable tracks by other artists (Prince, George Michael, Janet Jackson), and it’s so far been successful at pushing back the invading forces of winter gloom. Plus, the mix features a snippet of JC Chasez’s lost classic “Blowin’ Me Up,” although I wonder if that was included just to woo Maura. [Official site]

Hmm. I’ve got the Miss Fairchild Mixtape (which is thoroughly enjoyable), but can’t seem to find the Won’t Be Your Kept Woman mixtape – there don’t seem to be any links from the website, even for fan club members.
@girlhappy: The website is a bit confusing in that regard, but there’s a link somewhere going here: [www.missfairchild.com]
I found the link, but unfortunately the website made my computer crash every time it loaded…
@Dan Gibson: @Thierry: Thanks, Dan – that worked! But yes, Thierry, the download was a bit wonky. My computer wasn’t very happy about it.
