Highlights:

• "Dancing with Myself" by The Donnas. This song is a classic and so much fun to listen to and sing along with. Note to self: play more of The Donnas because they are such riot grrrls and you can definitely hear some attitude in this song.
• "Bhang Bhang I'm a Burnout" by the Dum Dum Girls. Even though I feel like I play them so much on my show, they are totally worth it because each song is a gem. This is no exception. I also encourage to check to super cool low-fi video.
• "Lonely Daze" by Kate Tempest has some of the best lyrics I've heard lately. Tempest has some amazing spoken word poetry and it translates beautifully in her music. I also enjoy watching her live stuff because she's so cool.
• "Mess Around" by Super Wild Horses. The band name is just so fantastic that I can't not play it. The band mates met in an all girls catholic school and the rest is history.
