GUEST POST: Now That’s What I Call Krista and the Whale: Volume 1
Today’s guest post is brought to you by Krista of the fine tumblr Krista and the Whale. I really can’t think of a better way to end this month long journey of beautiful Chick Bloggers sharing their passion and love for music. This mix of exclusive 90s covers by some of our favorite buzz bands is just FANTASTIC. Now, where do I start when talking about Krista… she’s a lovely lady who resides in the fine city of San Marcos, Texas: takin’ photos. If you’ve ever had any interaction with Krista the first thing you’ll notice is ability to love on anything and everything lovely. Her lust for music shines through her like a death ray which she focuses on the artist themselves to make them feel like they’re the best in the world. Make sure to follow her up on ze tumblr and check out her photoz on ze flickr.
Today is Thursday. Meaning, today is a special day. Why? Well, because today, my whale and I get to invade Head Underwater. No longer is there a head underwater, but a head WITH my whale and I underwater. Right? Right.
I decided to compile a 90’s mix. I was a kid in the 90’s. I listened to all the cool 90’s jams. I decided to bring my past back to life. In doing do, I asked some of my favorite favorite favorite musicians and friends to cover a 90’s tune. Will I ever be able to thank them enough for being apart of this? No. That’s why they all need to move to Texas and live with me. Yes? Yes. Duh.
