A Culturally Appropriated Soundtrack for a Further Culturally Appropriated Experience

In other words, when I become a shaman, heaven forbid, this is the soundtrack for my ceremony:

1.  In the Dark--Billy Squier.  Are you kidding me?  If this isn't the most apropris song ever for an Ayahuasca Ceremony, I'll be totally fucked and bent over puking.  Check out the lyrics, yo!:

2.  Hide in Your Shell--Supertramp.  A little more uplifting, but hell, isn't that why you are in this space to begin with?

3.  Double Life--The Cars.  Ok, a little different, but when you idle at the stop light you better have the signal right.  This goes out to all you crazy fucks that do this on a Saturday night and then go into work on Monday morning without missing a beat.  And you my friend, know exactly who we are talking about.

4.  Saved by Zero--The Fixx.  This call was a little bit controversial because maybe its a tad too obvious.  Still, for all of you trying to remember you buddha nature while everything else is going to hell in a hand-basket, we offer this paradoxical koan for your enjoyment.

5.  Reap the Wild Wind--UltraVox.  Take my hand, and take it all my friend.  I'll pull you right the fuck out of those dark places.

6.  My Secret Garden--Depeche Mode.  Its not so secret anymore.  Now you get to share it with everyone around you.  Whether you want to or not.

7.  Unsatisfied--The Replacements.  Thankfully this is a short one.  This will remind you why you did this in the first place.

8.  Gates of Steel--Devo.  Twist away, now twist and show.  If you dare that is....

9.  Magic--Olivia Newton John.  Destiny begins to arise as you begin to exit medicine space. 

10.  Naive Melody--Talking Heads.  You made it.  Don't you just love everybody and everything around you right now?
