Debris Dreams Blog Tour – More Music Fun (Plus GIVEAWAY!)

Okay, remember yesterday how I said I had something fun related to Debris Dreams for you guys?  I was originally thinking I’d work with David on a playlist for you, but instead we’ve managed to intercept some messages between Dru (our main character) and Sarah (her girlfriend back on Earth).

Sarah’s dad is a salvage worker dismantling Delta City (also known as New Detroit) for spare parts (heh), so Sarah’s been subjected to a lot of “classic” rock and other stuff from the late 20th/early 21st century.

  1. Reblogged this on Karen Gadient and commented:
    Ooh hey… it’s a giveaway to get a free ebook from Candlemark & Gleam! Your odds are good and the rules are easy, so give it a go. What song(s) do you think will be considered a classic in 50 years?

  2. I’m sure it will be Skrillex, even though I am the only person on the planet who cannot stand them.

    I’m thinking “I’m Coming Up” by Pink would be a good going-to-space song.

  3. Something by New Kids on the Block.

  4. My love for you is ticking clock BERSERKER. That song.

    Bonus entries: twitter, g+

  5. Hmmm… how recent? Is “Fight The Power” too old? “Smells LIke Teen Spirit”? I know, I’m going with easy ones there.

    More recently, maybe “7 Nation Army” by White Stripes? “Sabotage” by Beastie Boys?

    • Any of these would count.

      You know, when Elephant first came out, I had a job that was 35 miles away on SoCal freeways. So, in order to get there by 9 I had to leave at 6:45. 7 Nation Army was my song to get me ready in the morning.

      And also, their cover of Jolene.
