You may know Babe Walker from her highly popular and introspective memoir White Girl Problems. She recently curated a “Black Friday” playlist, which we thought was definitely worth a share. Says Babe, “For all you psychos who are venturing into the void known as Black Friday, here are some songs to aid you on what will no doubt be a troubling shopping journey.”
The playlist is embedded below, complete with hilarious commentary from Walker. Happy shopping!

Flim – Aphex Twin – “Get in a place of zen and focus on the mission ahead. Feel thin/modely because you only had a glass of white wine, a Marlboro Light and one serving of broccolini for Thanksgiving dinner.”
-
Free Your Mind – Cut Copy – “Center yourself, breathe, repeat your mantra. Walk into a Nordstrom. Trust that the universe will deliver a Helmut Lang angora sweater for 70% off.”
-
Do My Thang – Miley Cyrus – “Realize that trolling the sales rack isn’t for you and go to Barneys instead.“
-
Obsession – Animotion – “See the hiking boot-esque platforms from Prada F/W 2013 and realize your life has been incomplete up to this point.”

Raped And Freezin’ – “Alice Cooper – Buy the Prada platforms. Feel triumphant. Move to the ready-to-wear floor.”

Nobody Asked Me (If I Was Okay) – Sky Ferreira – “Find a quiet dressing room in which you can curl up and silent scream.”
