The Ropes and The Fucking Most Pleasant Mix...Ever!

I was recently turned on to a pretty decent electronic-pop duo from New York called The Ropes. The first song of theirs I checked out was I Don’t Like to Get Dirty from their Cry to the Beat EP. "You can all go fuck yourselves/You can all go burn in hell" Sharon Shy gently croons in the song’s opening lines and I am immediately taken aback and sucked in at the same time. The song later picks up, "The only reason I haven't put myself in the ground already/Is I don't like to get dirty." –brilliant lyricism on what is maybe the most upbeat song about severe depression ever.

I don't know what it is about acoustic guitars or gentile balladry that makes the F word sound even more abrasive and yet somehow strangely amiable at the same time. It gave me the idea to make "The Fucking Most Pleasant Mix...Ever". Enjoy.
