Substitutions

You may have heard that I love the Flock web browser. You may not have heard that Flock has changed the browser their product is based on from Mozilla's (for 2.x) to Google's (for 3.x).
I'm trying to adapt.
In the process of moving from one version of Flock to the other, I have to find Chrome extensions to match those that I used with the 2.x version of Flock, along with the features no longer built into Flock 3.x.
One of the features that keeps me on the Firefox side is the offline blog editor that integrates that version's drag-and-drop clipboard, which does wonders for quickly adding photos to a new post. I just found this new Chrome extension called Scribefire, which is a blog editor of sorts. I'm still looking for some sort of clipboard, but may be completely out of luck.
Onward and upward, if not a slight bit to the left!

I need your help

I'm making some playlists to keep handy on my phone, and I would like your help in making some suggestions. As I receive suggestions, I'll add the songs to my playlists. I'm looking for three categories of music, all of which I would like to make me want to move in some rhythmic fashion, however strange and clumsy that may be.



Our first category is the classic Cowbell. Why Cowbell? I want to be prepared in case I happen to run across Bruce Dickinson and I need some way to break the ice.



Secondly, we have the Harmonica. It is a simple instrument, but one nearly as versatile as a piano. I can't get enough Harmonica, fast or slow.



Last, we have Brass. I've always had an affinity for brass instruments, and still regret not staying with the Cornet longer. I love the rumbling bravado of the Tuba and Baritone, the blaring screams of the Trumpet and Cornet, and everything in between.

If you have any favorites that fit in these categories, I'll gladly add them to the playlists, so we can all benefit.

Thanks for your help!!
