If you need a pick me up for the day Twitler is installed, or for the next weeks or years worth of mood enhancement and motivation, your Local lionesses have come up with some suggestions. These hopefully represent a range of tastes. We certainly welcome additional suggestions via comments, as many of us will need to dig out of some deep holes from time to time, no doubt.

• Do You Hear the People Sing? from Les Mis (which incidentally…there’s a bit of historically ominous if parallel kind of stuff). Pssst. Also. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. (hopefully.)
• Los Bastardos by Primus
• The Revolution Will Not Be Televised by Gil Scott-Heron (props to whoever did the slideshow that goes with this music, because it is excellent)
• erupt and matter by Moby
• Defying Gravity from Wicked
• Which Side Are You On by Dropkick Murphys
• If the Kids Are United by Sham 69
• Youth Against Facism by Sonic Youth
• American Idiot by Green Day
• Going Underground by The Jam
• Fight the Power by Public Enemy
• It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) by R.E.M.
