Girl Groups Mixtape by Mike Powell for Stylus Magazine
“This is a completely non-definitive selection of 15 of my favorite songs from the girl group era, sucker cuts included, with some history and a little reflection. In the interest of being concise, I didn’t repeat artists, but suffice it to say that a lot of these groups have at least 3 or 4 absolute classics.”
I don’t know. It seems pretty definitive to me. Originally compiled by Mike Powell for the long defunct (but still online!) Stylus Magazine. The accompanying article is an excellent and necessary read that includes a short description and brief history of each track. Huge kudos to So Tough So Cute for digging this up!
Tracklist:
01 Jackie DeShannon - “When You Walk in the Room”
02 The Chiffons - “Nobody Knows WHat’s Goin’ On (In My Mind But Me)”
03 The Jaynettes - “Sally Go Round the Roses”
04 The Shangri-Las - “Out in the Streets”
05 The Chantels - “Maybe”
06 The Cookies - “I Never Dreamed”
07 Lesley Gore - “You Don’t Own Me”
08 The Crystals - “Uptown”
09 Mary Wells - “I Don’t Want to Take a Chance”
10 Ellie Gaye - “Cha Cha Charming”
11 Diane Renay - “Watch Out, Sally”
12 The Marvelettes - “Please Mr. Postman”

Killer girl-themed mixtape from music maven britticisms. There couldn’t be a more perfect reason to reblog.
via britticisms:
I noticed a couple of things recently. First, many of the songs that I’ve been posting recently have ‘girl’ in the title. Second, I own a lot of songs that have ‘girl’ in the title. Third, I haven’t made a mix outside of Brooklyn Radio in a while. Therefore, I present the latest “mixtape” for BRITTICISMS titled Songs About Girls. Most of the songs have ‘girl’ in the title, though I stretched a bit with the Os Mutantes song. Either way, the music is straight-forward, simple, and good listening.
“A Pretty Girl is Like…” by The Magnetic Fields
“A Minha Menina (My Girl)” by Os Mutantes
“Sunday Girl” by Blondie
“Velocity Girl” by Primal Scream
“Silly Girl” by Television Personalities
“Nowhere Girl” by B-Movie (1981 version)
“Girl Afraid” by The Smiths
“Girl on the Wing” by The Shins
“Graveyard Girl” by M83
“Girlfriend” by Phoenix
“Post-Modern Girls” by The Strokes and Regina Spektor
“Candy Girl (demo)” by Trailer Trash Tracys
“Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl” by Broken Social Scene
“Cherry Blossom Girl” by Air
