I have been told by several people that I have crappy taste in music. I happen to like music that can put me in a certain mood. I have songs for working out, songs for driving alone, songs that my daughter likes to dance to. etc. When I was in 3rd grade my parents got me a radio alarm clock. The only station that we could get was the oldies station. Back in the day they played actual oldies like the Big Bopper, Richie Valance, and the Beach Boys. That's probably where my trouble started. Most people I know seem to have a really strong connection to music. They follow their favorite bands, spend countless hours hidden behind their earphones, and take pride in discovering the newest, most obscure bands online.
I am not one of those people. I grew up in a house with five other people, I've never had my own room, and now I live with my husband, 2 rowdy dogs, and my 2-year old daughter. I very rarely find myself at a loss for background noise. When given the choice, I'd take TV to music any day, and lately my available selection of shows consists mainly of the Cat in the Hat and Curious George.
You can imagine my panic when I found out that we had to not only come up with 5 songs that had something to do with our topic but then *gasp* post them for everyone to listen to. Try finding a play list that relates to teaching creationism in public schools. I turned to my trusty friend google for ideas, but the search "music and fundamentalist Christianity" yields some scary results. "Music and science" isn't much better, unless you're a huge Weird Al fan. (although "I think I'm a clone now" was pretty awesome)
It is for these reasons that my play list is a little unconventional. (=sucks) Enjoy!
