blast off to bowie

so
this here article says that passengers on the new virgin galactic spaceships (launching in 2007) will be listening to "space oddity" by david bowie as they float about in zero-g.

now, i don't know about you, dear reader, but when i'm floating above the earth, the last thing i want to hear is "ground control to major tom / your circuit's dead, there's something wrong / can you hear me major tom? / can you hear me major tom?"

hm. now i'm in a mood to put together an itunes playlist with music i would like to hear while floating in space. if i can do it before "the daily show" ends, because then i'm going to bed.

edit:
okay, so the daily show ended a half hour ago. but i was distracted by the moving pictures on the teevee. and then family guy came on. but now it's midnight, and i am going to bed. so here's my half-assed attempt at a playlist. maybe tomorrow i'll cut it down a bit. these are in no order, whatsoever.

• destination moon - they might be giants. obvious.
  
• learning to fly - pink floyd. gotta have floyd.
  
• such great heights - the postal service. quality.
  
• sail to the moon - radiohead. again, obvious.
  
• big red rocket of love - reverend horton heat. oh yeah.
  
• magic carpet ride - steppenwolf. cliche? yes. do i care? no.
  
• destination venus - man or astro-man. a must have.
  
• satellite - bt. i started off not wanting any electronic music, but what the hell.
  
• ceres walk - the billy nayer show. because the list needed something from the movie "the american astronaut."
  
• enough space - foo fighters. i'm starting to get tired now.
  
• starship troopers - yes. so sue me.
  
• high roller - the crystal method. what? they sample transmissions from apollo 8.
  
• satellite of love - lou reed. absolutely.
  
• rocket man - me first and the gimme gimmes. because their cover is so much better than elton singing it.
  
• the guitar (remix) - they might be giants. samples from apollo transmissions + song about a lion flying a spaceship = goodness.
  
• the fucking moon - the evolution control committee. "i absofuckinglutely am standing on the surface of the fucking moon. am talking to you from the surface of the fucking moon. jesus h. christ in a chicken basket."
  

hell, i'm going to bed. enough of this.
