> Here's a shortlist of candidate "extropian" tunes:
>> The "Blade Runner" soundtrack by Vangelis
>> Almost any other record by Vangelis. Try "Albedo 0.39" or "Direct."
>> The "2001" soundtrack.
>> Practically anything by David Bowie.
>> Brian Eno's "Ambient 1: Music for Airports."

>the hell that means" T-shirt and knowing all 258 verses of the Extropian
>anthem.

I _know_ that sounded banal! That was just a list of music that I,
personally, find (for lack of a better term) "mind expanding." I
disrecommend liking or pretending to like anything that's not "your bag."
Individualism is an integral part of extropian thought; this was simply my
personal take, not some warped plea for "party unity" or whatever.

And that's it.
