Check the Cool Wax Vol 1

Ten year old compilation from an inactive blogger named  brainwerk . Re-listening as I type this. This is the reason I stopped making my own mixtapes. Others are so much BETTER at it. A nice blend of favorites, rarities and the unusual. And the fantastic custom artwork.  Just realized Michael Buble sounds almost like Mel Torme, the diction and the phrasing....

Brainwerk's  blog Check the Cool Wax is still up on Google's Blogger.  Leave him a comment at the original blog post.

So we reluctantly removed the Whipped Cream Girl from the masthead of our Facebook Group. We really needed to graphically coalesce our original mailing list, the FaceBook page and this website. Visit, play, post at whatever social media site you want.

This was a great way to  feature her again. Our Whipped Cream Girl really is our patron saint of crate digging. Because every time we dig, there she is, a Siren making us crash against the rocks, "keep flipping. the next one is the one your looking for".

From July 31, 2006: Here it is. Check The Cool Wax Volume 1. There are three parts. Artwork and Part 1 & 2 of music files. It is made up of the favorite songs released on this site up to now.
