It might be a little soon to start singing “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” again, but times are tough. Gas is as at an all-time high (when you can find it), foreclosures are rampant, banks are falling like dominoes, the federal government is handing out emergency bailouts like candy at Halloween. Maybe we need a new hard-times soundtrack. “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” (1932) is a classic, but it’s so last Depression. And that dime won’t get you very far these days, anyway. Check out our playlist of songs for the modern economic malaise here, and tell us some of your picks.
