March may be the middle child of months, but that doesn’t mean it should get the middle child treatment. Here at KPH, we’re embracing March in all of its eclecticism and indistinctness with a mixed bag of a playlist. Looking for something mellow, but also unpredictable? Perhaps you want to give a little love to some underrated songs and discover something new? Call us indecisive, but this March is all about range—rainy but sunny, moody but hopeful, oldies but goodies.
“I Don’t Mind” by Psychic Ills
Mazzy Star-like vocals with twangy country guitar—a match made in New York City.
“Fallin’ Rain” by Link Wray
If you love this song as much as we do and are interested in a great cover (and a nine minute rendition), we highly recommend Karl Blau’s 2016 version!
“In Spite of Me” by Morphine
An aptly named album, this song is a certified cure for pain.
“Nobody Loves You More” by Kim Deal
If you like what you hear, she’ll be playing a show at Revolution Hall later this month!
“Tijuana Lady” by Gomez
Seven minutes in heaven.
“You’ve Got a Woman” by Lion
So good it’s the only song they ever released.
“Bra” by Cymande
Contrary to what the lyrics say, we think this song is much more than alright.
“Cattle and Cane” by The Go-Betweens
Sounds like a distant memory, hardly forgettable.
“Colour of Anyhow” by Beverly Glenn-Copeland
The better of the Copelands.
“The Times They Are A-Changin’” by Nina Simone
Watch out Bob Dylan, Nina’s version has an organ solo.
“Healing, Pt. 1” by Todd Rundgren
This one may be an acquired taste, but it’s a personal favorite to zone out and unwind to.
“Jack-Ass” by Beck
Would play in my hypothetical car.
“Sixteen Blue” by The Replacements
A song that bleeds teenage angst. Save for solemnly staring out the window, preferably on a rainy day.
“Trouble” by Lindsey Buckingham
If it walks like Fleetwood Mac, talks like Fleetwood Mac…
“A Bowl and A Pudding” by Wilco
An underrated tune from an underrated album—Wilco’s newest plays us out.
