The Playlist Challenge: Girls Who Love Boys / Boys Who Love Girls

Evan's Challenge: a playlist comprised of songs from artists you haven't used on a mix yet.

At first, I thought this would be really difficult. Once I compiled the artists I'd already used, I started looking at the other bands' songs and tried to find a key element - something easy enough to see without having to listen to a billion songs and find a common link. After going through artists A-G, I saw a pattern I could use to eke out a playlist: Girls and Boys. Here I present Girls Who Love Boys / Boys Who Love Girls. Enjoy!

1. Blur - Girls & Boys
Perfect opening track for this list!

2. Phoenix - Girlfriend
I was surprised to find I hadn't used a Phoenix song on a mix yet!

3. Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy
Also very surprised at the lack of Friendly Fires tracks. I love this album. And I especially love how this lead boy moves. This is one of my favorite music videos of the year.

4. Cut Off Your Hands - Girl
Nothing too special about this. I'm not as fond of this track as I am of another song from this group.

5. Discovery - I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
This Discovery album was kind of "eh." The best track was the reworked "Can You Tell" from Ra Ra Riot called "Can You Discover."

6. Headlights - Market Girl
A pretty little tune.

7. the bird and the bee - Fucking Boyfriend
Fucking boyfriends…

8. Beck - Girl

9. The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
It's okay to cry, boys!

10. The Presets - Girl (You Chew My Mind Up)
This is incredibly fun live!

11. Aloha - Boys in the Bathtub
This is one of my favorite Aloha songs! I love Aloha. Some of the nicest dudes on the planet.

12. Death Cab for Cutie - Technicolor Girls

13. Placebo - 20th Century Boy
ROCK. This song always makes me want to dance and take up destructive bad habits. Velvet Goldmine is one of my favorite movies.
