Inspirational Music Playlist

Inspired by the first thoughts post summit that @elb put on Medium, and the request for a recovery kit at Town Hall…

What ideas do we have for music that one can put on as a pick-me-up when feeling a bit overwhelmed by the scope of the CfA endeavor? What gets you FIRED UP to go fight for a better tomorrow?

Just post your suggestions as lists of…
[artist] - [album] - [track name || #] - [curse words?] - [opt. comment]

I’m always on the lookout for more great music! I have one set of music that’s for firing up and another set for slowing down, depending on whether I’m trying to pump out work or to focus on self-healing.

On a tangential note… our LA County Arts Commission and City of LA Dept of Cultural Affairs held their 2nd annual joint Datathon earlier this year. They had a track - Music as Collections - invited participants to develop a metadata framework for music discovery.

Feeling Fired Up!
Daft Punk/Specimen A - Soundcloud - Aerodynamic (Specimen A & James D’ley Re-fix) - no
Yoko Kanno/Seatbelts - Cowboy Bebop - Tank! || 1 - no

@nFlourish Did I do that right? :laughing:
