A mix of mellow songs with (mostly) female vocals, that make me happy to be alive and happy to be a girl =)
tracklist
| 1 | No Doubt : Running |
|
I came up with this mix a long time ago... when I was about 12 I was in love with these first three songs. I still love them, and wanted to listen to more music like them. I just couldn't find much. This was before I discovered music downloading :P

| 4 | The Concretes : You Can't Hurry Love |

I love the Concretes chick's voice. I was gonna pick another song but I figured this one would go nicely with the "love" theme I've already got going here.

| 5 | The Flatmates : Shimmer` |
|
It took me forever to even find anything by the Flatmates... I love that whole English 80s indie pop thing though. The sound is so jangly and kind of impish. I love it.

| 7 | The Cranberries : Linger |
|
I didn't even know this was the Cranberries when I first heard it (*d'oh* go me lol). But, as I was on a long road trip at the time, I wrote down some of the lyrics and resolved to look it up when I got home. I was pretty in love with it for a good 2 weeks.

| 8 | Sambassadeur : Between the Lines |
|
I first heard this in like, 2005 when it was on the internet... I was pretty obsessed with it for a little while. I don't know what it is about a female indie-pop type song that really catches my attention.

| 11 | Helen Love : (The Continuing Adventures Of) The Girl About Town |
|
This song makes me want to spend all my money on a cocktail dress with matching silver shoes, and a purple souped-up Chavalleir that David Bowie used to use; then buy some drugs and hit the road on the hottest summer day.
But I wouldn't much fancy being left for a singer in a disco band in a nightclub in LA. SHOW MORE

| 12 | Tegan and Sara : Speak Slow |

Tegan and Sara... I really love their songs. I also love their singing, not because I think they have the prettiest voices, but because I think the style in which they sing is really... I dunno... neato?

I love this song... it's dramatic, it's British 80s indie pop, the singer's got a great voice... and I love the lyrics and the jangliness! It's a thumbs up. And a great ending. Just look at the title!

Aye, I'm glad to see some Sambassadeur love. When I was in Sweden, they recommended some cool bars to go to. The Sundays and The Cardigans are also among the winners here. Cool mix.
Beat Happening, Washington state's finest!

Really nice mix! I like many of these bands. Maybe I should have a listen to the others which I don't know.

Yay, great song choices for a girly mood! I like that most of your artists are strong women who do indeed make me proud to be a lady. The only song I don't dig is "Kiss Me" - I guess it's a sweet song but I can't hear it without thinking of "Never Been Kissed," unfortunately.
