A few words from Olof
Thanks for the opportunity to contribute to your project and to give me another excuse to tool around some more with my music collection. Putting together a mix of my favorite music is an interesting challenge and isn’t necessarily as easy as it seems, considering the wealth of music and variety available. I chose to make this a fairly upbeat and fun affair, kicking things off with Kid Creole and The Coconut’s ‘Annie, I’m Not Your Daddy’ for the simple reason that I love everything about Kid Creole and the Coconuts and think August Darnell is a genius providing a carnival of sound and a sight for sore eyes with the Coconuts and August himself in his zoot suit. Honestly, when I was fist awarded the offer to make this mix tape, I knew I had to kick off with Kid Creole and The Coconuts. From there I tried to keep the fun going in the hopes of getting the listener of their seat and wiggling their hips. Lastly I close with Louis Armstrong’s rendition of ‘What A Wonderful World’. A song that may not seem to fit with the rest of the tracks, but one that fits in the theme of some of my favorite music. His rendition, including the spoken intro on this version from 1970, just drips of sweetness but also has a dark undertone creating an incredibly powerful song that truly is a classic for the ages.
One more thing I’d like to say, though, is that there should be no guilt. Only pleasure.
