This is the July 2022 playlist for the girls.
The Songs
"When I Come Around" - Green Day (Dookie, 1994)
Driving punk-pop with a sharp, fast hook and a laid-back groove.
"99 Problems" - JAŸ-Z (The Black Album, 2003)
A blunt, sample-driven rap single built around a famous opening and a tough warning.
"Birdhouse In Your Soul" - They Might Be Giants (Flood, 1990)
Quirky indie-pop with a catchy bass line and playful wordplay.
"That's How Rumors Get Started" - Margo Price (That's How Rumors Get Started (Deluxe), 2020)
A twangy, self-aware country tune from a modern singer-songwriter.
"King of Pain" - The Police (Synchronicity, 1983)
Moody new wave rock with a restless, aching feel.
"Supernova" - Liz Phair (Whip-Smart, 1994)
Sharp-edged alt-rock with a punchy melody and dry wit.
"My Sister" - The Juliana Hatfield Three (Become What You Are, 1993)
Early-’90s college rock with jangly guitars and a sisterly perspective.
"Smooth Criminal" - Alien Ant Farm (ANThology, 2001)
A punchy nu-metal-era cover that turned a pop classic into a harder rock hit.
"Groove Is In the Heart" - Deee-Lite (The Very Best of Deee-Lite, 1990)
Bright dance-pop with a funky bass line and a clubby feel.
"Love the One You're With" - Crosby, Stills & Nash (Replay, 1980)
A harmony-rich folk-rock standard about choosing connection over regret.
"The Boys Of Summer" - Don Henley (Building The Perfect Beast, 1984)
A glossy summer-rock staple with a nostalgic, open-road mood.
"Same Old Lang Syne" - Dan Fogelberg (The Essential, 1974)
A quiet, reflective holiday-season story song about an unexpected reunion.
