This is the first collaboration with sammyg123 and natalyesaurus, and you can definitely believe it won't be the last. The idea behind it was simple: songs that feature both male and female vocals. A little girls and boys if you will (just like the Blur song).

The title is taken from a line in the Belle and Sebastian song, because Sam likes coming up with titles the least and Natalye likes taking them from song lyrics. Although it's taken out of context, it mentions both male and female, making it the most applicable to the mix's theme (OK, maybe that's stretching it a little, but bear with us).

Notes from Sam: I had a good time compiling [this] and can't believe we left it so long before doing one. And...I think it's great!!

Notes from Natalye: I'm so glad I finally took the initiative to do an alt-dj with Sam and I can't believe how easily it flowed. I'm definitely biased, but I echo Sam's sentiments in that this mix is excellent from start to finish!
