Felix the Cat, America’s first cartoon superstar, and arguably still the world’s most iconic anthropmorphic cartoon cat, turns 100 this year, and like most cats his age he could stand a little pick-me-up every now and again. Hoping to dissuade him (as well as any listeners in need of stimulation) from ingesting dangerous drugs, we reached into our bag of tricks and pulled out this eclectic mix of 20 new indie-rock-punk-garage-pop-psych tunes selected especially for their stimulating properties. Featuring the cartoon cat-loving talents of Bad Sports, Telekinesis, Bob Mould, and 17 more bands who are definitely better for you than Adderall.
