Workout jams

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Since I seem to be in a musical mood tonight currently rockin’ out to some nice Sublime, I thought I would share one of my playlists from Itunes. My ‘workout’ playlist is probably my most listened to selection on my Ipod or Ipod Nano or Iphone. Geez I sound like an Apple spokesman. I hit the gym, go for a run, ride my new board or hit the mountain bike every day. Usually my workout mix is what keeps my feet moving and blood pumping. During a good workout I want music that gets my heart going, pushes me, motivates me and makes me want to break goals. The music you see below is even selected in an order that plays just the right song during certain parts of my workout. For example, when I am running a 5K I have some really good music come in around 1 mile left to go pushing me to the end. Same goes for when I am on the bike and getting to a tough point during one of my favorite trail rides. Took some time to get all that worked out but it really helps me along. I dig classical music just not during a 10 mile run. I was going to list all the songs for you here but then I got to thinking a screen grab sure is much easier.

What’s your workout mix like? Share it in a comment!

Blast the boombox

Monday, December 17th, 2007

I would if I could. Speaking of old school boombox’s or ghetto blaster’s, why in the world can’t you find a decent one to buy? I really have been wanting one for some time now. It would be great to have for certain photographic projects I am working on but it seems every time I track one down someone wants $10,000 for it! Sillyness! If you know where I can find one of these please let me know. I mean who doesn’t want to be as cool as LL right?

On a happier note while going back in time to take that picture of LL looking ‘fly‘ I came across a company called Lasonic. They are about to release to the public what they are calling a High Performance Portable Music System. Guess who is going to have one of these? Their new system takes on the old school characteristics that we all miss from the ghetto blaster days combining today’s technology with a Ipod mount dead center in the box. Apparently they are going to release the info on it at the upcoming CES 2008 Show in Las Vegas which I just may have to attend now that I know this is going to be there! That would look good on my shelf…
