Green Day (lots of Nirvana and Hole)
Bikini Kill (lots of Sleater-Kinney, occasionally the Gossip)
The Smiths
Florence + The Machine (plays a lot of Modest Mouse and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Taylor Swift (I require sappy country every few days)
Artist Seeds:
*Heart
*Hole
*Janis Joplin
Song Seeds:
“Fancy” by Reba
“Lip Gloss” by Lil’ Mama
“Short Skirt, Long Jacket” by Cake
One of our favorite regulars, Mimi, who is a fabulous, stylish woman in her 60s, just complimented my Dolly Parton selection. “Finally, music I like playing here!” Hopefully the Beastie Boys stay off until she goes. Mimi wore a coat she bought at Re/Dress to a retirement party for a friend and it was “the talk of the party.” She also always goes around the corner to this Chinese place on Smith St. to buy one egg roll. She claims they are the “best in Brooklyn.”

— Deb, my boss, calling to check on The Re/Dress. I told her about Leslie going to get Chipotle for lunch, putting out the sundress stash, the lack of change in the registers, but I forgot to mention we’re experimenting with only one Pandora seed today. Adam Lambert. Hour three is getting a little wild, the live version of “Enter Sandman” just played.
Today a woman came into the store for a black formal gown to wear in an opera performance. Bunny located the perfect one that fit her exactly in about 2 minutes. 10 minutes in and out of the door. Incredible.

Actually we listened to the exact same station yesterday, too. The love continues on. This station is basically perfect 80s/90s goodness with the occasional great contemporary song.
