Inspirational Technology: A fun CD mix

A fun CD mix

Continuing my series of mix CD playlist posts, this mix was made for my sister. I came up with it with because she was playing some dreadful, lifeless classical music at a party. I absolutely love classical music, however the CD she had was one of those where they suck the life out of the music to make it "relaxing". The CD had the worst rendition of the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th Symphony that I've ever heard. The Ode to Joy is one of the most inspiring pieces of music ever written, they managed to suck every bit of life out of it.

Anyway, I wanted to make a mix that would be listen-able, fun and appealing to a broad audience. My collection is a little limited in truly mainstream music, but here' s what I came up with. Maybe not a great mix, but enjoyable.
