Mixtape Monday: Swingin’ New Years Edition

This week’s mix: an hour-long tribute to one of my five yet-to-be-revealed favorite songs of the nineties! I bet you can’t figure out what it is! Sadly I didn’t have room for any John Barry on here… Added bonus, though: Throw this on at about 11:15 tonight and your new year’s party will be out of control before midnight–you’ll easily be frolicking with someone (or everyone) on a bearskin rug by the time the apple drops.

Relatedly, I’ve yet to actually combine champagne with Heering, but as the newest afficionado of the black cherry liqueur made for wealthy women who drink glamorously out of completely empty glasses, I’m going to suggest giving it a whirl tonight.
