Music that makes me high

So when Elizabeth went away for her Survivor weekend, she came back with a copy of a CD to which all of the contestants were dancing around the fire after the group dinner. It's a collection of Brazilian club music. Most of it is based on dance hall hits from the mid-to-late 80's and nineties as well as some classic stuff from the 70's (can we say Planet Rock? Yum!)

What amazes me about the music is the sheer amount of energy that the performers bring to their work. There is a euphoria that results in this for me, having spent some time in college and after going out dancing with a group of friends every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. This music reminds me of those days (however long ago they might be).

Pretty much, I think the endorphin production begins almost immediately when one of these works comes on the old iTunes. I've never been a user of mind-altering substances, and when I have music like this, I don't need it.
