NaNo Space Soundtrack
x-posted to nanowrimo
My NaNo project is the story of the first generation ship. I've been trying to put together a Space Soundtrack that I can play while I'm working on it.
I think I've got a pretty good, eclectic list of space-related songs here. Granted, in some places the relationship is thin, but I put in the song because I like it. I've also left out some songs just because I don't like them. Since I have 30 days worth of writing to do, I'd like a fairly big playlist. If anyone has any to suggest, I'd greatly appreciate it.
My list includes links to every song! I'm going to try to download them all for a proper play list (so I'm not bouncing around different sites when I should be working), but I wanted to include them here just because sharing new music is fun. :) Please feel free to leave a link if you have one.
This isn't the definitive order of the playlist, but I tried to set it up in a way that flows - for me, anyway. I'm sure they'll be reordered and everything, but this is a decent first draft.
Oh! Not every song or video is Work-Safe. Let me know if you have any to add!
