Live Ledge #89: Black Friday Sucks!

Anybody who knows me has heard my anti-Black Friday rant by now. Thanks to KRRO, thousands of people who DON'T know me are aware of this bitchfest, as I go off on it every year. It just makes no sense. There is no sale great enough to make me get out of bed and deal with these idiotic cretins who clog up the aisles and camp out to save fifty bucks on a shitty non-label TV.
This year, though, I attempted to create a new trend...to a few laughs but little success. Instead of #BlackFriday, I propose #OccupyYourBedroom. Go ahead and set your alarm clocks for Black Friday time, but instead you all should use that time to roll over and spend some quality time with the one you love...or sort of like enough to live together. Have yourself a real Thanksgiving treat.
Tonight's show is all about tunes that are anti-Black Friday. Now most of these songs were not written or produced with this event in mind, but their anti-consumerism, anti-pop culture attitude is close enough to fit in my mind...and that's all that matters to me. :)
If you're giggling after reading these paragraphs, then go to iTunes and either subscribe to The Ledge or download The Ledge app. Or head to Stitcher and stream the show. Or if you have OCD and need to hear it right this very second...
