Things are chugging along fine right now. Nothing too crazy or too exciting to report, so I thought I'd talk about my iPod. Ever since I got an iPod Nano for my birthday, I've been using it a lot. And because I have been making music mixes since my friends and I started trading mix tapes in high school, I have several playlists on my iPod. Two playlists, however, have been getting the most use, so I figured I'd share them with you right now.
The first is cleverly called "Jon's New Workout Mix". As you can see, there are a lot of high energy stuff on there:
- New Order, "Fine Time"
- Phoenix, "1901"
- Madonna feat. Justin Timberlake, "4 Minutes"
- Kelis, "Milkshake"
- Nelly Furtado & Timbaland, "Promiscuous"
- The Killers, "Somebody Told Me"
- Muse, "Uprising"
- The Postal Service, "Brand New Colony"
- Pet Shop Boys, "Sexy Northerner"
- Jesus Jones, "The Devil You Know"
- Garbage, "Shut Your Mouth"
- Eiffel 65, "Blue (Da Ba Dee)"
- from South Park, "Kyle's Mom's A B**ch"
- Franz Ferdinand, "Michael"
- Lady Gaga, "Poker Face"
- Kinky, "Mirando De Lado"
I usually won't make it the whole way through the mix during my workout. My maximum time for a workout, counting a ten minute cooling off period of walking on a relatively steep incline, is usually an hour. And during the cooling off period, I'll usually just shift over to listening to Lady Gaga's "The Fame."
I also made up a mix for me to listen to while I'm doing chores. It has the highly creative name of "Cleaning The House":
- Bjork, "Army of Me"
- Editors, "An End Has A Start"
- Bloodhound Gang, "The Bad Touch"
- Dead or Alive, "You Spin Me 'Round (Like A Record)
- Lady Gaga, "Poker Face" [Oh sue me, I love the song -- ed.]
- Lily Allen, "Smile (Version Revisited)"
- Aaliyah, "Try Again"
- Erasure, "Chorus"
- Amy Winehouse, "Rehab"
- Erykah Badu, "Tyrone (Live)"
- Depeche Mode, "Everything Counts (Live)"
- Gnarls Barkley, "Crazy"
- The Killers, "Somebody Told Me" [again, love love love the Killers and the song]
- Kim Wilde, "You Keep Me Hangin' On"
- Matisyahu, "King Without A Crown (Live)"
- Muse, "Undisclosed Desires"
- Pet Shop Boys w/ Dusty Springfield, "What Have I Done To Deserve This?
Yes, there are some crossovers. As someone who loves both the Killers and Lady Gaga, how could I not have songs from both of them on some mixes? Maybe I'll mix things up and listen to the chores mix as I do cardio tomorrow morning. I dunno.
One final note, as a lover of the Pet Shop Boys, Lady Gaga & the Killers, I'd be remiss in not including the following clip of PSB at the Brits earlier this year, doing a medley of their songs. Helping them out during this? Brandon Flowers of the Killers and of course, Lady Gaga.
Enjoy!
