Oh by all means! Both your compositions and the mp3's of a certain Max
M. Corp that I saved a while back would have to be regular staples on
any extropian streaming music channel!

Also toying with finding celebs to record a very condensed version of
the extropian principles to be played every hour on the hour.... or at
least until we got sick of hearing them. :)

A random principle by a random celeb to be played between random
songs.... that sort of thing.

I think this evening I'll go through my sizable mp3 collection (all
legal music, honest :) and pull together a proposed playlist.

It'll also be excited to see how long it takes until the RIAA comes
a'knocking.

FYI, the songs that spurred my interest in this idea in the first place
were:

Goldfrapp - Utopia
"i'm wired to the world, that's how i know everything... i'm
superbrain, that's how they made me"

The Irresistible Force - It's Tomorrow Already
"our time is a time for crossing barriers, for erasing old categories,
for probing around... boundless, horizonless, in the dark of the
mind... time has ceased, space has vanished..."

The Herbaliser featuring Latryx - 8 Part Agenda
"we believe in achieving the summit as expected - detonate the
avalanche effect and launch a series of events connecting...
chain-reaction set off like a fusion experiment in which we can
calculate and document the elements and their effects - with patience -
put it all down in scientific notation - this is like a laboratory
report, of sorts - research, results - a layout of our findings and
methods that work..."

Stereolab - The Seeming and the Meaning
"we communicate more and more, in more defined ways than ever before"
