This compilation was a great idea – pay tribute to Blonde Vinyl Records by putting out a compilation of some of the most popular songs on the label. Some of the songs were label as “Critic’s Choice,” even though no reason is given for that label. It would have also been nice to see a two-disc collection with one song from each BV release, or even of unreleased songs by each artist.One song on here, “Beg and Kick,” is only available on this album.
According to Knott, “Beg and Kick” is “not about begging, it’s not about kicking, it’s about living. There’s no hope in begging and kicking. What about the flow, the flow of humanity, the flow of love and the flow of life. You know, there’s faith, hope and love… there’s no faith, hope and love in begging and kicking, that’s the opposite of Christ, so I’m blaming myself there. I beg, I kick and I’m sloppy sick when I beg and kick.”
