aSpIrM is about emulating the Iridium NEXT launches with SpaceX. So when Iridium introduced their playlist for Launch 7, we were totally thrilled because it was an awesome move. And we had no choice and couldn’t help …

… Introducing the aSpIrM-3 launch soundtrack!

For the aSpIrM-3 launch, music lovers of the OxidanSky team have curated a themed playlist featuring songs that reflect what you see in the aSpIrM-3 webcast. Or they relate in some way – via title, lyrics, topic or otherwise – to the aSpIrM story.

So how does it work? 

OxidanSky has created a launch soundtrack on Spotify. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you join the fun:

Step 1: Click this link to get to the playlist. If you’re not on Spotify, you can find our playlist below and look for the songs on Youtube. Listen and have fun!

Step 2: Watch the aSpIrM-3 Webcast and simply enjoy! Our webcast shows inserts to the songs that we are referencing. Listen to the songs on Spotify immediately or whenever you like, it’s totally up to you! Our webcast also shows the link to the playlist in case you get lost.

Step 3:  Enjoy, dance, hum, wiggle … Whatever you do, don’t sit still! 💃🏻 🏃🏻

How we picked the songs

Deciding on what songs to pick was NOT easy, but all the more fun. Of course we based the criteria for our song choices on Iridium’s – with a few modifications because, hey, we are parody. Songs should:

• Relate to either what is being viewed or said in our webcast or to the “aSpIrM story”
• Serve as a tribute to a relevant person, place or event
• Not be on Iridium’s playlist. One exception allowed
• Be picked by an OxidanSky staff member as a personal wish
• Celebrate clichés (We are parody and parody thrives on clichés)
• Rock like crazy
• Represent some level of irony
