Cheerful tunes to head into the weekend

You kids going to the Andrew Jackson Jihad show at the Echo Curio on Sunday? You probably have Monday off (unless you work for the KKK). $5!

And, in case you were wondering what the best books AJJ read in 2009 were, some fine website asked them that VERY QUESTION.
