August’s unemployment numbers are out — and everything is the same: no new jobs added, unemployment still at 9.1 percent. Commentator Betsey Stevenson said the problem isn’t a lack of “skills.” Meanwhile, the government is preparing to sue banks over faulty mortgage loans.

Here are the songs we played:

• Love Jones – J DillaBuy

• Will My Feet Still Carry Me Home – Elf PowerBuy

• Let’s Call It Off – Peter Bjorn & JohnBuy

• A Beat Never Forgets – MochipetBuy

• Delicious Tears – Antn HrkwkBuy
