It’s almost time for Thanksgiving break, and we all know what that means: time to gather around a table with extended family members you don’t really know while sitting through conversations that make you angry. It also means that, as finals week approaches, we’re all stupid busy and stressed to the point of pulling our hair out in big cartoony clumps. It’s just what I need when I also have to listen to my uncle talk about why the US faked the moon landing. Yes, what a relaxing holiday.

So, to help you blow off some rage this Thanksgiving season (and also because I don’t have time to write a full column this week), enjoy this playlist of music I’ve written about in this column, as well as other stuff I like that sounds similar. It’s all fast, loud, and angry enough to get you through to dessert.

Give thanks, eat way too much, and survive. Gobble gobble.
