With this week’s discussion landing on Labor Day, I thought it might be fun to switch things up and make a worker/labor related playlist. There’s certainly plenty to choose from (“Take this Job & Shove It,” pretty much Billy Bragg’s entire catalog) but it all felt a little too on the nose.
So pour yourself a cup of ambition, and check out what I’ve been listening to instead. More importantly, make sure to share what’s been playing in your world. Have a great holiday!
Fifth Harmony did a song called Work From Home a few years ago, but the video clearly shows them on a building site. That's not working from home! So annoying.
This week, I have been listening to Copper Blue on a loop, because it's an absolute stunner.
Always been one of my favourite bands, and Conor Oberst is one of the featured 'musical mavericks' in my music themed novel, give it a try at challenge69.substack.com
I snuck a peek at your "EDIT" work list, and enjoyed that one! I must say, 'twas a bold move, with "Slack Motherfucker," to pluck a number from the much-heralded Barry Manilow canon! Didn't see THAT one comin'! Well curated (all kidding aside!), with a bunch I'd never heard before!
I AM surprised (kidding, now, back in play, 'cause it can't stay aside too long!) to discover Dolly's "9 to 5" is not so much about Vegas odds on a Pimlico horse race as it is about the drudgery of the work day! Who knew?🤔

It really is!
Things have been crazy so I've been pumping up my energy with this hypemax track from the OST of Forza Horizon 5

Nice playlist 👏 I especially like '9 to 5' by the one and only Dolly Parton 🔥
P.S. After binge-watching "A League Of Their Own" series on Amazon Prime I'm all about its soundtrack 🎶 it's so sooo good
Based on the movie? I had no idea! I have to get out more. Lol.

I gotta keep people on their toes. Lol.
Cmon, Kevin. You know that for the last two weeks the only song that everyone has listened to was the corn song lol. IT'S CORN!!
But seriously tho, I liked the new Gorillaz tune, and I also rediscovered the Judgment Night soundtrack. A blast from the past 🙌
Lol. that video-and all it's versions- is everywhere!
Haven't heard Judgement Night in a long time! I'll have to give it a spin.
Here's a crazy, modern take on quitting your job. From the Maids, of course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MOvCkCqz_U

A criminally underrated band.
And hey; even with writing being mostly online, you never know when you might need a case of White-Out.
I started listening to Riot by Paramore again. Amazing album.
