Songs We Wish We Heard at 16

from Play Record Podcast · host Play Record Podcast with Jess and Tyler

What song do you wish you could go back in time and give to your 16-year-old self?🟢 Listen to the Spotify playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6yfsIeyiKMZP9HUOQXzube?si=8c39fed4dc5e45a8This week, we're building a playlist for the teenagers we used to be: songs we somehow missed when we were young, along with newer music we think our teenage selves needed to hear.We talk about discovering The Replacements years too late, whether Jess's teenage self would have actually appreciated Neko Case, the strange pressure of high school romance, sitting alone in your bedroom with headphones on, and the music that might have made growing up feel a little less confusing. And we confront an important question: would our teenage selves really have loved these songs, or are we just projecting our current tastes backward?Our picks include Cat Power, Jets to Brazil, 10,000 Maniacs, The Replacements, Neko Case and Burial, plus a bonus round where we choose a song to give to each other's 16-year-old selves.What song or band would you go back and give to your teenage self? And do you think they would actually listen to you?Songs on the playlist:🎧 Liquid Swords - GZA🎧 Walkabout - The Slits🎧 Answering Machine - The Replacements🎧 Like the Weather - 10,000 Maniacs🎧 Sea Anemone - Jets to Brazil🎧 An Ice Age - Neko Case🎧 Naked if I want to - Cat Power🎧 Imitation of Christ - The Pschedelic Furs🎧1952 Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Thompson🎧 Come Down to Us - Burial🎧 Listen to Play Record▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PlayRecordPodcast🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033DtFWQBaLPMiNYgykjdD?si=9c33ee347d174619🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/play-record-podcast/id6783468122🎙️ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/63224d90-334e-4339-a7f8-bdcc7ddabe9f/play-record-podcast📱 Follow Play Record📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/playrecordpod/🎤 About Play RecordPlay Record is a music podcast hosted by Jess and Tyler, where every episode starts with a theme and turns into stories, debates, nostalgia, and the songs that shaped our lives.Whether we're talking about mixtapes, guilty pleasures, forgotten albums, heartbreak songs, or the perfect soundtrack for a night swim, every episode celebrates the memories behind the music.❤️ If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and leave a comment.
