For the Girls: April 2022

This is the April 2022 playlist for the girls. The Songs "Monday" - The Regrettes (Further Joy, 2022) Bright, punchy indie pop with a restless edge and a singalong chorus. "Need You Tonight" - INXS (Kick (Special Edition), 1989) A sleek, guitar-driven new wave track with a standout bassline. "Better" - Regina Spektor (Begin to Hope [Special Edition], 2006) Piano-led indie folk with sharp lyrics and an offbeat emotional turn. "On Your Own (August)" - Rainmarket (September, 2005) A breezy pop song built around a simple, affectionate hook. "Hurt Feelings" - Flight Of The Conchords (Amazon Sampler, 2009) A dry, funny indie rock number that plays like a mock ballad. "It's Getting Boring By the Sea" - Blood Red Shoes (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Deluxe Version], 2007) Fast, noisy punk-leaning rock tied to the film’s soundtrack. "Can't Even Tell" - Soul Asylum (Black Gold: The Best of Soul Asylum, 1994) Lean alt-rock with a tense, melodic drive. "Hip Hop" - Mos Def (Black On Both Sides, 1999) A laid-back hip-hop track that helped define the sound of late-1990s backpack rap. "Jockey Full Of Bourbon" - Tom Waits (Rain Dogs, 1990) Dusty, percussion-heavy rock with a shuffling, cinematic feel. "Little Bribes" - Death Cab for Cutie (The Open Door - EP, 2009) Melodic indie rock with a wistful, understated mood. "Gravity" - Eddie From Ohio (Big Noise, 1997) A long, moving folk-rock tune that builds slowly and keeps unfolding. "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" - Billy Joel (Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 (1973-1977), 1977) A classic piano-rock suite with vivid storytelling and a strong sense of place.
