This is the November 2022 playlist for the girls.
The Songs
"My Name Is Jonas" - Weezer (Weezer, 1994)
Bright, fast power pop with a sharp opening riff and a burst of early-90s alt-rock energy.
"Glenfern" - Kathleen Edwards (Total Freedom, 2020)
A thoughtful folk-rock song with a steady pace and clear, understated vocal delivery.
"Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" - The Offspring (Americana, 1998)
A big late-90s radio anthem that leans into satire and punchy punk-pop hooks.
"Keep Your Hands to Yourself" - The Georgia Satellites (Georgia Satellites, 1986)
Classic southern rock with a bar-band swing and a strong bluesy groove.
"St. Elmos Fire (Man In Motion)" - John Parr (St. Elmo's Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), 1985)
An urgent, synth-driven movie theme built for uplift and forward motion.
"Sundown" - Gordon Lightfoot (Sundown, 1974)
A country-folk standard from a songwriter known for vivid storytelling and an easy, melodic pull.
"Fast Car" - Tracy Chapman (Tracy Chapman, 1988)
A spare, emotionally direct ballad that helped define late-80s singer-songwriter radio.
"Sometimes I Rhyme Slow" - Nice And Smooth (Ain't A Damn Thing Changed, 1991)
Quick-tongued East Coast hip-hop with a playful, old-school bounce.
"Spiderwebs" - No Doubt (Tragic Kingdom, 1995)
Skittering pop-rock with nervous guitar lines and a restless feel.
"Better Than Nothing" - Jennifer Trynin (Cockamamie, 1994)
An overlooked mid-90s rock track with a strong melodic core and a clean, direct sound.
"Digging In the Dirt" - Peter Gabriel (Us (Remastered), 1992)
Brooding art-rock with layered production and a darker, more introspective edge.
"One Night In Bangkok (Original Single Version / From “Chess”)" - Murray Head (One Night In Bangkok (From “Chess”) - Single, 2016)
A theatrical pop number with a sly narrative and a cabaret-style sense of drama.
