It's April 9th, music news today starts now, AI powered and ready to play. I'm Cory with the story. NASA just dropped a full wake-up playlist for the Artemis II crew, blasting tunes from artists like Chapeau, ROHN, Queen, David Bowie, Glass, Animals, and Denzel Curry during their 10-day trip around the moon. This marks the first human mission, looping the moon in over 50 years, kicking off on April 1st with four astronauts checking out Fresh Lunar. Views never seen up close before. The playlist kicks off with Sleepyhead by Young and Sick, then hits Greenlight by John Legend and Andre 3000 in a daydream by Freddie Jones. Band, ping-pony club, by Chapeau L-O-H-A-M-L, plus tracks like Working Class Heroes by Sealo Green, Good Morning by Mondisa Tokyo. And Denzel Curry, an under-pressure by Queen and Bowie, all picked by the crew to keep that 50-year-old space tradition alive.

Artists are losing it online, with Young and Sick saying their life changed forever, Glass Animals calling it the coolest thing ever, and Denzel Curry. Dubbing himself the first rapper played in space. The Chapeau Roe intrac cut out early, right before the chorus, leaving Commander Reed Wiseman joking, they were all hyped for more, but with just one. Day left on the mission, expect a few extra songs to wrap up this lunar soundtrack strong.
