A playlist for the sequester
We asked people for songs that reflected their feelings about the sequester -- and we got everything from "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley to The Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House." Listen to the full playlist now.
Well, we kind of knew things were headed this way, didn’t we? The sequester is here, and it's hard to tell how long it’ll last. So we thought we’d create a playlist to tide you over -- and all the picks were sent to us by Marketplace listeners. Enjoy!
*Note: Older songs suggested -- including "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin, "On the Border" by The Eagles and "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" by The Beatles -- were unavailable on Spotify.

"It's Money That Matters". Lyrics by Randy Newman. I especially thought the lyrics in the beginning were appropriate for an American Public Media program:
"Of all of the people that I used to know
Most never adjusted to the great big world
I see them lurking in book stores
Working for the Public Radio
Carrying their babies around in a sack on their back
Moving careful and slow
(Chorus)
It's money that matters
Hear what I say
It's money that matters
In the USA"
