What's better than plotting out your own personal soundtrack? Sharing it!
I've been building a playlist called "Go Girl" (just 'cause the phrase amuses me) for about a month now. It started out with three or four songs that make me want to go out and take on the world, which I've gotten into the habit of playing on the way to auditions. Since that generally involves longer than three or four songs in Chicago traffic, I started collecting recommendations from my friends, and, after lots of tweaking and twiddling, finalized a 71-minute, 19-track playlist of grade-A go-get-'em-ness. (My friends being made entirely of awesome, I have discovered WAY more fantastic music in the past month or so than I needed. Yay, lots of fresh tunes on the Zen!)
Eighteen of those tracks are now set up on this public MySpace playlist. The missing song is Emilie Autumn's "How Strange," which is unfortunately not one of the handful of tracks on her MySpace Music page. (It should be between "One Step Ahead" and "Rock What You Got.") My advice is to hie yourself to your purveyor of choice and pick up or download her album Enchant. (Also featuring "Rose Red," a spooky riff on the folk song, which I dare you to get out of your head once you hear it.)
My musical tastes are crazy-eclectic, so there's everything from early Madonna (my first-choice song for inspiration in high school -- I wore out my cassette playing it, well, over and over) to the latest release from Superchick. With, yes, Debbie Gibson and even a couple country tracks along the way. They might not all be up your alley, but there's plenty to choose from. Enjoy!
