Who? (sample)

Theme: Bands that many people have never heard of. This is the last sample playlist that I currently have. If you've never heard the music of these bands, may I suggest you sample them? I will be adding to this one soon as I purchase more music by little-known bands.

"All the New Sounds" - The Swimmers Fighting Trees
"Apparitions" - Seabird 'Til We See the Shore
"The Artist" - The Hush Sound So Sudden

Here in Colorado, you never know what kind of weather you will encounter in any given day, so best be prepared. Although, hurricanes are pretty rare here.

Transitions

These songs are great for transitions in the classroom. I say things like, "When this song is over, you should have ____ done and ____ out on your desk. This gives them time to finish up their work and prepare for the next activity in a fun way. I have sorted these by length with the shortest song (0:46) in the pole position and the longest running song (5:51) in the end. The majority of the songs are between 2 and 4 minutes in length.

Planets

Theme: Planets. Inspiration: "Drops of Jupiter" by Train and Holst's Planets. I purposefully placed the songs in this order; Classical piece, then one by a modern artist (if available). Earth wasn't included because The Planets has a loose basis in astrology, and in the practice of astrology, the reference point is Earth, so it is not included in the mapping. Pluto is also not included because it was not discovered until 1930, which is after Gustov Holst wrote the seven-movement orchestral suite.

"Planet Earth" - Duran Duran Decade: Greatest Hits
"Mars, The Bringer of War" - James Levine: Chicago Symphony Orchestra Holst: The Planets
"Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars" - Bon Jovi Crush

"Venus" - Bananarama '80s Dance Gold
"Mercury, The Winged Messenger" - James Levine: Chicago Symphony Orchestra Holst: The Planets
"Mercury" - Counting Crows Recovering the Satellites
"Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity" - James Levine: Chicago Symphony Orchestra Holst: The Planets
"Drops of Jupiter" - Train Drops of Jupiter
"Saturn, The Bringer of Old Age" - James Levine: Chicago Symphony Orchestra Holst: The Planets
"Saturn" - Skillet Skillet
"Uranus, The Magician" - James Levine: Chicago Symphony Orchestra Holst: The Planets
"Neptune, The Mystic" - James Levine: Chicago Symphony Orchestra Holst: The Planets

Plane Trip

Theme: Songs about flying/airplanes. Inspiration: travel. I made the "Road Trippin'" playlist early on, which I will post soon. Then I took an Amtrak trip last Spring and made the "Train Trippin'" playlist and while flying this past holiday, I decided to make one about air travel.

"Airplanes, Part II (ft. Eminem & Hayley Williams)" - B.o.B. B.o.B. Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray
"Counting Airplanes" - Train My Private Nation
"Leaving On a Jet Plane" - Chantal Kreviazuk Armageddon [Soundtrack]
