Folks, it feels like today has been a whole month of Mondays dumped on me all at once. I don’t even wanna get into it. Here’s a playlist for y’all while I go sit in a corner and try not to plan murder.

1. The Florida Mass Choir, “Storm Cloud Rising”: The song featured on the last couple of episodes of Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, and I dug it. It’s very moody and atmospheric for a gospel song.
2. Rage Against the Machine, “Sleep Now In Fire”: For when you need to feel a bit of rage in your soul, there really is no one better.
3. Reel Big Fish, “Hungry Like the Wolf”: The best version of this song, hands down. It just needed those ska horns.
4. Alannah Myles, “Black Velvet”: Apparently she didn’t start seeing a dime from this song until rather recently. And that is just absolute bull honkey.
5. Roger McGuinn & Tom Petty, “King of the Hill”: I do love listening to the Tom Petty Sirius XM station, because his catalog is deep enough that I can still get surprised by a song I wasn’t really aware of like this one.
6. Them, “I Can Only Give You Everything”: I also get to hear songs like this one on the Tom Petty station. There are so many songs by Them that I just don’t know, because their stuff just wasn’t widely available when I was a kid, and now I’m purposefully seeking it out because why the hell not?
7. Wilco, “One Sunday Morning (Song for Jane Smiley’s Boyfriend)”: I love the little repeated guitar figure in this song so much, I don’t even mind that the song is damn-near 10 minutes long.
8. The Envy Corps, “Story Problem”: A friend I worked with back seventeen, eitghteen years ago introduced me to this song. I still love it.
9. Frank Turner, “Get Better”: For when I need to try to feel more optimistic, which is challenging today.
10. Soul Coughing, “Fully Retractable”: For when it is, in fact, fully retractable.
