Cleaning my room

So it's been a while, and, well there's no way to segway into this. I was cleaning my room, and I hate just listening to my music on shuffle. I love listening to music that motivates me to move, and thus, a play list is born.

I made it on youtube, I KNOW! But all of these videos are pretty cool. I suggest you follow this link.

My vacuum!
I know, she's bautiful.

Supersonic Blondes

The higher the hair, the closer to God.

Friends. One of the first albums I really remember listening to as a child was The B52's album "Cosmic Thing". I am happy to say that thanks to some colleague who brought the CD to work, I have rehashed my fascination with that crowd once again. This spawns now to Tom Tom Club, The Talking Heads, and so on. And what great timing! What with their new album "Funplex" and David Byrns making music again, Gosh I just don't feel like a dead beat anymore!

Anyway, I created a mix, duh, of songs that I found to be encapsulating this 80's fun fun fun music. Not really a mind-altering mix, most of it is obvious. But if you are ever in the mood to just let go and dance.... maybe you do need help.




Oh, and here's that toejam video, it's pretty awesome.

A Sexy Playlist

For the 36th Anniversary of Roe V. Wade!
In case you are lost living under a rock, Wikipedia says that "According to the Roe decision, most laws against abortion in the United States violated a constitutional right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision overturned all state and federal laws outlawing or restricting abortion that were inconsistent with its holdings. Roe v. Wade is one of the most controversial and politically significant cases in U.S. Supreme Court history."

As some of you may know, I belong to the VOX organization at UF: Voice for Planned Parenthood. I won't even begin to get into my personal beliefs on the subject, but I do think that this decision has done more good than bad.

So, what better way to celebrate this landmark than by making a playlist? I have carefully selected (with help from a sexy helper) songs that either are about sex, remind me of sex, or are downright sexy. It was harder than it seemed, pun intended.

But seriously, heres to alternatives.

Too Smart for My Own Survival Kit

A mix of "the essentials"



Let's see who catches the theme.

Galactic Captiva

To me, the only logical way to start a screenplay is with the soundtrack. I feel it is a form of organization, much like an outline. Different songs provoke different emotions and therefor have specific scenes they are allotted to.
I am making a sci-fi film. Inspired by the recent flux in "space" music, I have created a play list that tells the story of Glactic Captiva, a Planet in the M7 Galaxy teeming with bizarre creatures and water. A young cadet, Fletcher, has been sent on a mission to conduct tests and survey the area for future human civilizations. Fletcher finds more than anticipated and cancels the colonization of Galactic Captiva, as he falls for a native Captivan, IngBop.
Below the soundtrack widget, I have made notes of what scenes the songs are in.
