insmallpackages 2013: dancing defiant
The Wishes: Playlist of upbeat, energetic music with a beat
5-7 kick-ass songs
Playlist, upbeat/inspirational songs for running
Playlist, 5 to 10 of your favourite songs to dance or work out to
Mix Notes: I'm cheating big-time with this one, but when I started to think about fills for these wishes there was a lot of overlap in the songs I was thinking about, so I'm hoping that's okay? To make up for it there is quite a bit of music :) The original version of this mix was actually a playlist I put together for a Pride float last summer, so it's pretty unabashedly campy. Also, well, gay. When I asked my group for input, they got as far as "fighting back, but, like, fun!" I took that away and came back with...this.
Content Notes: General overcoming of adversity? Also dancing. Lots of dancing.
