After watching three days of inspired and rousing speeches at the Democratic National Convention, many are now fired up and ready to go in pursuit of re-electing President Obama. So this weekend’s music thread is about the music that fires you up, songs you play that drive you when you’ve got a job to do, songs that energize you and light your fuse.
