Songs for Quitting Your Job

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
