Paige Maguire over at NPR put together a 5-song playlist for anyone suffering from economic woes and job insecurity.
“For some, it’s years of cubicles and monkey suits and unbearable workloads, while others have lost their marbles and wound up getting walked to their car. Whatever happens, we’re guessing it’s going to be epic and terrible, which means you’re going to need consolation and encouragement in the form of five great rock tunes.”
Among her picks are The Animals’ “We Gotta Get Out of This Place,” and The Dead Kennedys’ “Bedtime for Democracy.” She had some good tracks, but her playlist doesn’t satisfy my economy-induced misery.
Here are my picks:
Woody Guthrie – Better World A-Comin’
Deerhoof – Scream Team
Rush – Big Money
Walkmen – The Rat
Black Flag – Rise Above
