For the Girls: August 2022

This is the August 2022 playlist for the girls. The Songs "Seether" - Veruca Salt (American Thighs, 1994) A snarling alt-rock opener with sharp dynamics and a big chorus. "Children's Story" - Slick Rick (The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, 1988) A classic story rap built around vivid narrative detail and a steady beat. "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" - Cake (Comfort Eagle, 2001) A dry, catchy slice of early-2000s alternative pop with a punchy hook. "Another Brick In the Wall, Pt. 2" - Pink Floyd (The Wall, 1979) One of Pink Floyd’s best-known songs, driven by a steady groove and a schoolroom protest feel. "With or Without You" - U2 (The Joshua Tree (30th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition), 1987) A spacious, emotional ballad with the band’s signature clean guitar tone. "Always On My Mind" - Willie Nelson (16 Biggest Hits, 1982) A country standard here in a plain, intimate performance that keeps the focus on the lyric. "No Diggity (feat. Dr. Dre & Queen Pen)" - Blackstreet (No Diggity' - The Very Best of Blackstreet, 1996) A sleek mid-90s R&B hit with a smooth bassline and a memorable guest verse. "What I Got" - Sublime (Sublime, 1996) A laid-back ska-punk crossover tune built on a relaxed, easygoing feel. "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" - Primus (Tales from the Punchbowl, 1995) A weird, heavy bass-driven track that leans into Primus’s off-kilter humor. "Sweet Jane" - Cowboy Junkies (Best Of Cowboy Junkies, 2001) A haunting cover that turns a classic rock song into something hushed and smoky. "Alive and Kicking" - Simple Minds (Once Upon a Time, 1985) A triumphant synth-rock anthem with a strong lift in the chorus. "Low" - Cracker (Kerosene Hat, 1993) A dark, slacker-rock tune with a muddy groove and a memorable radio-era chorus. Genres Rock Hip-Hop/Rap Pop Country R&B/Soul Hard Rock Alternative
