I’ve been meaning to put this together for a while, and this evening, I took a break from my database development work and finally did it. I put together a “soundtrack” for science fiction writers. This is a CD-length playlist of 21 songs that have something to do with writing or science fiction. I tried not to pick obvious or overused songs, but in some cases, I couldn’t resist. Those interested in the contents of the soundtrack, please proceed through the link.

The total playtime is 1:18. Yes, there are a lot of songs that I could have included and chose not to. I was going for songs that are a little more obscure and depending on who you are, I may or may not have been successful. Regardless, there you have it. My Soundtrack for Science Fiction Writers!
