This is the June 2022 playlist for the girls.
The Songs
"Full Clip" - Gang Starr (Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr, 1992)
A hard-edged East Coast rap cut built on tight loops, sharp rhymes, and a classic boom-bap feel.
"Common People (Full Length Version)" - Pulp (Hits, 2003)
A big Britpop anthem that starts quiet and keeps building into a loud, emotional singalong.
"Heads Will Roll" - Yeah Yeah Yeahs (It's Blitz! (Deluxe Edition), 2009)
Bright indie rock with a driving beat and a soaring, dance-punk energy.
"This Forgotten Town" - The Jayhawks (Xoxo, 2020)
A newer rootsy rock song with warm harmonies and a reflective, small-town mood.
"Laid" - James (Laid / Wah Wah (Super Deluxe Edition), 1993)
Lean guitar rock with a dry wit and a catchy chorus that never overstays its welcome.
"Play Nice" - Skylar Gudasz (Cinema, 2020)
A short, polished indie rocker with an easy hook and a polished modern sound.
"Foundations (Full Explicit Version)" - Kate Nash (Made of Bricks (Bonus Track Version), 2007)
A sharp, confessional pop song built around conversational lyrics and a memorable refrain.
"Kyrie" - Mr. Mister (The Best of Mr. Mister, 1985)
An airy synth-pop hit with a bright keyboard line and a famously uplifting chorus.
"On Any Given Day" - Carbon Leaf (Echo Echo, 2002)
A steady mid-tempo rock song with an anthemic feel and an earnest, road-trip kind of momentum.
"Space Oddity (1999 Remaster)" - David Bowie (Best of Bowie, 1969)
A landmark space-themed ballad with a dramatic arrangement and a lasting sense of wonder.
"Major Tom (Coming Home) [Director's Cut]" - Peter Schilling (Major Tom (Coming Home) - Single, 1983)
A sleek new-wave pop song that keeps the astronaut story moving with a strong hook.
"Is That You Mo-Dean?" - The B-52's (Time Capsule, 1998)
A quirky art-rock track with offbeat humor, punchy rhythms, and plenty of personality.
