Disco Enlightenment and Beyond Playlist

I've previously documented the gaping hole in the Rhapsody database where "Born To Be Alive" by Patrick Hernandez belongs. When I first heard the song as a youth the very title just bent my mind like a zen koan and brought about some kind of elementary school state of enlightenment.

Well the original still isn't Rhapvailable, but this overblown remix was on the Just Added list this week. It'll do for now.

The list is rounded out by kindred tunes and thematically appropriate recent additions.
