Music Mo'nday: Dec. 19 Shopping Edition

Hey, last minute consumers! Here are some of our favorite songs about money and the horror of shopping!

The obvious choices, "Material Girl," "Lost in the Supermarket," or anything by Gang of Four are fine, but let's dig deeper into music's pockets.

"Spend, Spend, Spend" - The Slits
Ari Up joyfully denounces shopping as therapy.

"Nothing (But Flowers)" - Talking Heads
In Byrne's future fantasia, nature engulfs the material world. One can only dream.

"Broken Household Appliance National Forest"- Grandaddy
In Byrne's post-ecopolypse world there is a magical forest where all the shit you buy has outlived you.

"Foldin' Money" - Tommy Blake
Rockabilly Blake laments the bill that never ends, love. I would not know of this great song without hearing a rollicking cover by my favorite punk band The Fall.

"Gimme Some Money" - Spinal Tap
Is there even room for dollar bills with that cucumber in your underwear?

"Fairytale in the Supermarket" – The Raincoats
Just because.

"Automatic Door" - The Bell Riots
These quirky local rockers know the carnage of retail firsthand, from experience working at Circuit City.
