Fool's Gold honcho and Fader editor leave you No Alternative but to download their new '90s mix

03:10 PM PT, Sep 3 2008

Bring back animal suits in music, plz How fitting that on the day after another bit of blatant '90s pandering hit the airwaves, Fool's Gold honcho Nick Catchdubs and Fader magazine editor Eric Ducker put together this nifty megamix of hits from that magical time when some label head thought MC 900 Foot Jesus would be a lasting investment. It veers from the unavoidable (Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana) to the still-hipster-beloved (Pavement, Björk, Dinosaur Jr.) to expert used-bin trolling (Soul Coughing, Harvey Danger) and a childrens' treasury of era-appropriate novelty hits -- King Missle's "Detachable Penis," for starters!

It's all interspersed with a good bit of "Sweater Song"-inspired background chatter and movie quotes, so if you ever want to make your Gen X friends quietly weep for their lost youth in a corner at an upcoming house party, press play and wait for Courtney Love to show up and down the punch bowl.
