Carnival Natalie Merchant (by servandogt)

Aileen Carol Wuornos (February 29, 1956 – October 9, 2002) was a woman who killed seven men in Florida in 1989 and 1990. Wuornos claimed that her victims had either raped or attempted to rape her while she was working as a prostitute, and that all of the killings were committed in self-defense. She was convicted and sentenced to death for six of the murders and was executed by the State of Florida by lethal injection on October 9, 2002.

Wuornos’ body was cremated, and her ashes were spread beneath a tree in her native Michigan by Dawn Botkins. Wuornos requested that Natalie Merchant’s song “Carnival” be played at her funeral. Merchant commented on this when asked why she permitted “Carnival” to be played during the credits of the documentary Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer:

When director Nick Broomfield sent a working edit of the film, I was so disturbed by the subject matter that I couldn’t even watch it. Aileen Wuornos led a tortured, torturing life that is beyond my worst nightmares. It wasn’t until I was told that Aileen spent many hours listening to my album Tigerlily while on death row and requested “Carnival” be played at her funeral that I gave permission for the use of the song. It’s very odd to think of the places my music can go once it leaves my hands. If it gave her some solace, I have to be grateful

A few weeks ago, Robert was riding around town, blasting 88.3 WBGO smooth jazz out his car stereo in Brooklyn. To his surprise, there was a track that came across the airwaves that was so hot… so smooth… so SEXY smooth, that he spent the next 24 hours trying to find out what it was… (this track is so vintage, not even Shazam or Soundhound could find it!)

Well he found it, and it was none other than Old San Juan by MFSB (composers of the Soul Train theme song!)

Robert showed David, and he thought it would sound nice with Will Smith rapping on top. This is what that sounds like. This will be apart of our upcoming Next Jack Swing Mixtape. Watch out!
