I’ll second NIN – “Wish”

2. Minor Threat – “I Don’t Wanna Hear It”

3. Flogging Molly – “What’s Left of the Flag”

4. Superchunk – “Yeah, It’s Beautiful Here Too” (I didn’t think of this till I read someone had “Slack Motherfucker.” Here’s Where The Strings Come In used to go on a lot after/during bullshit days)

5. Radiohead – “Bulletproof…I Wish I Was”

@nick Yeah it’s one of my old standby songs for a crappy day. I used to work at an ISP and our network manager was the coolest old chick I had ever met. We shared a lot of the same lack of patience for stupidity and a love for Jack Kerouac. That song reminds me of the day I walked past her office to go knock some sense into a dev and she asked how I was doing. My response “I have a map of tall building, a .308, and a very powerful scope.” She, being the bad ass she was, said, without blinking: “Need a spotter?” Love me some Catch 22 but that one holds a very special place in my heart since I haven’t seen good old Val in nigh on half a decade.

I have a playlist called “I hate everyone” that I lock myself in my office and listen to when that phrase starts running through my head at work. The playlist starts out with angry songs, then transitions into hopeful stuff at the end. Anyway, here’s the angry part:

1. “Porcupine” by Mary’s Danish
(sing a little song about hating everyone you know!)

2. “Shitlist” by L7
(I write a list of all the people that won’t be missed…)

3. “Live & Let Die” by Guns N’ Roses

4. “Outta Me, Onto You” by Ani DiFranco
(Just remember, you were warned…)

5. “All You Fascists” by Billy Bragg & Wilco
(You’re bound to lose, you fascists are bound to lose.)

bahaha…Natural Born Killaz.. I rememeber listening to that song about 25 times before every football game I ever played back in the day. I actually walked out to coin toss and forgot I even had my damn headphones on till the ref told me to take them off the field. Good Times!! Also cant go wrong with any 2pac especially “picture me rollin” just to give your mind that slight FU attitude for the rest of the day. Cheers

Ministry – Stigmata (live)
Foetus – Anything (Viva!)
The Cure – The Kiss
Nine Inch Nails – Wish
Babyland – Fucked Equipment

This is such an incomplete list. The entire albums that those Ministry and NIN tracks are from are often put to use in these times. Some that also could have made the list are Cubanate, 16volt, Misfits, Godflesh, Chemlab, Sepultura….
