Fruit Salad

Sorry I'm a bit late! This week's theme was what it says: a delicious melange of fruit-related tunes. Just in time for what ought to be picnic weather!


jesus & mary chain - just like honey
the boy least likely to - i'm glad i hitched my apple wagon to your star
final fantasy - peach, plum, pear
miles better than the joanna newson version, btw
slowdive - melon yellow
jarvis cocker - fat children
too much fruit.
xiu xiu - the pineapple vs. the watermelon
elk city - cherries in the snow
serge gainsbourg & charlotte gainsbourg - lemon incest
macromantics - apple crumble
soft machine - orange skin food
family fodder - banana
marnie stern - grapefruit
the beatles - strawberry fields forever
little richard - tutti frutti
drop the lime - butterscotch
cat power - red apples
beat happening - bad seeds
clinic visitations - harvest (within you)
neutral milk hotel - three peaches
yoko ono f. peaches - kiss kiss kiss
air - cherry blossom girl
prince - raspberry beret
el perro del mar - candy
almost always fruit flavored
the books - lemon of pink
patrick wolf - bluebells
beach house - apple orchard
eagles of death metal - cherry cola


This week also featured our in-house Prince expert, Chris Robinson! Chris knows everything even mildly interesting about Prince Rogers Nelson, which we think is pretty rad. We may be bringing him back on Ultra Honey sometime soon, especially if we are able to realize our fondly held dream of structuring each week's theme around a different Prince song. If only we had remembered to play When Doves Cry during bird week! Alas.

prince sez: ultra honey rules!

but i really do think joanna newsom's version of "peach, plum, pear" is better. final fantasy does too many covers. and andy beers does too many covers of final fantasy (on a side note).

excellent fulfillment of the theme, though! i look forward to next week's episode...
