Angry Podcast and My Top Five End of Working Week Songs
GRRRR! Some fantastic angry suggestions for the podcast! Check it out here!
I also asked for some suggestions for some new Top Fives and Jenna! delivered the goods with a few classics. So since it’s almost Friday as I write this I thought we’d do My Top Five End of Working Week Songs. The songs can be about the weekend or getting paid or freedom or just make you feel good after a hard week of toil. No rules! Here’s my five what are yours?
5. Vampire Weekend, A-Punk
4. BSS, Major Label Debut (fast)
3. Art Brut, Good Weekend
2. Easybeats, Friday on My Mind
1. The Cure, Friday I’m in Love
UPDATE: I’ve got some free tickets for Little Wings, in Whelans next week. All you gotta do is head over to Dublin Metblogs!

My Top Five... 
Welcome To The Working Week – Elvis Costello

Friday Night At The Drive-In Bingo – Jens Lekman
Jacksonville – Sufjan Stevens
I’m Free – The Who
1. Living for the Weekend – Hard Fi
2. Friday I’m in Love – The Cure
As it’s Monday I’m too depressed to pick more than 2 songs, I may revert back later in the weekend with some snappy Sinbad-esque material
Woo! Thanks for this! Here goes it…my favorite tunes for after work actually don’t really involve names with “Friday” or “Weekend” in them…but they just make you want to dance about like crazy.
The Ramones – Let’s Dance.
The Cure – Friday, I’m in Love.
The Easybeats – Friday On My Mind.
Snap – Rhythm is a Dancer.
Billy Ocean – Caribbean Queen.
oh, my selections go from 5. Let’s Dance to 1. Caribbean Queen. Sorry I didn’t note it above.
and those should have been inserted under my Pulp blog and not Kraftworkin’… Dur! Sorry.
Something For The Weekend- The Divine Comedy
Living For The Weekend- Hard Fi
Weekend- Cold Crush Brothers
Time To Get Down- Timo Mass
I Feel Free- Cream
I think of end of the week as getting in my car, rolling down the windows and blaring the music… with a little need for relaxation and a little bit of anger all rolled together.
10.Original Prankster – The Offspring
9. Low Rider – War
8. School’s Out for Summer – Alice Cooper or Soul Asylum
7. Scotty Doesn’t Know – Eurotrip
6. Where It’s At – Beck
5. No Sleep Till Brooklyn – Beastie Boys
4. Feel Good Inc. – Gorillaz
3. Hot Stuff – Donna Summer
2. All These Things I’ve Done – The Killers
1. Take Me Out – Franz Ferdinand
Also, two ideas (if you haven’t heard them already) * Animal Songs * and * Best Tribute Songs *
(somme reggae after a hard working weeek to chill down!!!)
Stop That Train – Clint Eastwood & General Saint (Shit I really want to get back in the train !!!)
mala vida – Gogol Bordello
Pass the dutchie – Musical Youth
Take Me Out – Franz Ferdinand
alcohol – Gogol Bordello
OK the weekend is getting nearer so I’m caving in with 3 more:
Bachelorette by Bjork. Performed by the Maynooth Guitar Orchestra at the NCG last night, great show, great tune.
Need Your Lovin’ Tonight by Queen. From The Game album, this is the first album they abandoned their “No Syths” vow, although this tune has a great little kick to it.
All Revved Up with No Place to Go by Meat Loaf. A great tune about wanting to get some action on the weekend. Simple really!
Long Line of Cars – Cake
Blankest Year – Nada Surf
The song starts, “Oh fuck it, I’m gonna have a party”. How subtle.
Having an Average Weekend – Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet
For those Canadians out there, this is the theme song from Kids in the Hall.
I Got Drunk – Uncle Tupelo
More subtle still
Saturday – The Judybats
I Need Better Friends – Cracker
Friday night about 5 minutes before work ends:
Europe – The Final Countdown
