A Playlist for the Space Age
Eclectic Wonderland – March 9, 2022
Our fourth Eclectic Wonderland show was a cosmic adventure, marking the moment when we truly found our rhythm as a team. This was the first time we felt like we had cracked the code—balancing music, banter, and intergalactic fun with ease. And what better way to celebrate than with a playlist full of space-themed jams?
As self-proclaimed sci-fi geeks, we each brought our favorite space-inspired tracks, curating a journey through the stars that we were super stoked to share with you. This show was lovingly dedicated to Major Tom, the ultimate space traveler.
We also had a special moment in this broadcast—our very first premiere single from Beachfront Vinny, “We Found Love (in a Hopeless Place).”
Now, prepare for liftoff as we take you through our A Playlist for the Space Age setlist—complete with nerdy commentary!
🚀 This show is dedicated to Major Tom. ❤

Show Notes & The full playlist: {Links Are Pink!}
🚀 Setlist – A Playlist for the Space Age
✨ Intro
🎵 Peter Schilling – Major Tom
The ultimate sequel to “Space Oddity”—like if Hollywood made a reboot but kept it cool.
🎵 Spiritualized – Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space
The most relaxing space trip ever, until you realize you left the stove on.
🎵 Big Spaceship – Find a Place to Land
A gentle reminder that not every planet has WiFi.
🎵 Evan Blum & Michelle Raitzin – Endless Sky
Looking up at the stars like a philosophical raccoon contemplating life.
🌙 Second Set
🚲 The Dukes of Stratosphear – Bike Ride to the Moon
Just don’t forget your cosmic helmet.
👦 Beangrowers – Astroboy
A song about the real hero of space travel—adorable anime robots.
🪐 Frances Forever – Space Girl
A love song about an intergalactic crush. Hopefully, they’re not an alien overlord.
💫 Split Enz – Poor Boy
Love across galaxies is tough, especially with long-distance fees.
👽 The Brunettes – If You Were Alien
It’s all fun and games until you realize your date is from another planet.
🚀 Belly – Spaceman
Still waiting for my turn to be abducted by aliens. Anytime now, guys.
💃 Murray Gold & BBC National Orchestra of Wales – Cassandra’s Waltz
Proof that even in space, you can have a fancy ballroom dance.
🌎 Third Set
❓ World Party – Is It Like Today?
The eternal question: does every planet have Mondays?
🌍 The Church – Terra Nova Cain
What happens when you mix sci-fi with psychedelic poetry? This song.
⭐ Bauhaus – Ziggy Stardust
The reason space rock exists. Thank you, Bowie. {Bauhaus You Owned It!}
🛰️ XTC – Another Satellite
Because one orbiting stalker isn’t enough.
🎷 John Williams & London Symphony Orchestra – Cantina Band
The best space bar music—until you owe Jabba money.
🌟 Fourth Set
🎩 Men Without Hats – Pop Goes the World
What happens when a synth band takes over the galaxy.
🌌 Figures On a Beach – No Stars
When you thought you booked a tropical getaway, but you’re in a black hole.
🌠 Nina Gordon – Tonight and the Rest of My Life
Astronauts probably sing this while floating dramatically.
🪐 The Church – Field of Mars
Probably the theme song of intergalactic cartographers.
✨ David Bowie – Starman
A song about an alien with impeccable style.
🕶️ David Bowie – The Man Who Sold the World
When you wake up from a dream and realize you just traded Earth for a moon rock.
🚀 David Bowie – Space Oddity
The classic “Oops, I left my keys on Earth” anthem.
🌙 Lunar Dunes – Moon Bathing
Because SPF 1000 is totally a thing on the moon.
🛰️ Fifth Set
🌊 Beach House – Space Song
If space had an indie coffee shop, this would be playing.
🌠 Siouxsie & The Banshees – Stargazer
Siouxsie, looking fabulous in space since 1980.
🌍 Men Without Hats – 2000 Light Years From Home
That moment when your GPS says “Recalculating” for the 500th time.
🪐 StoryBots – We Are the Planets
Finally, a song that makes astronomy class fun.
🎶 Blam Blam Blam – Dr. Who
The only acceptable song to play while running from Daleks.
🎤 Beachfront Vinny – We Found Love (In a Hopeless Place) (Premiere!)
Confirmed: space is a hopeless place for dating.
We had an out-of-this-world time putting this one together and can’t wait to bring you more adventures through the musical cosmos!
Question…
If An Unidentified Flying Object Landed In Your Yard, And Little Space People Climbed Out, Would You Invite Them To Dinner?
What Would You Serve?
