Vampire Weekend ~ Cousins

I have almost hit the point of Obsession with Vampire Weekend! I think I'm still safe. I find them enjoyable, I will listen to them whenever possible, and I only know 3/4 of the lyrics to my fav songs of theirs...but I find I'm getting close to the point where I will be sick of their songs. And so, I MUST post this song today. I hope they don't fade in my favour as Razorlight did, because I miss how much I used to enjoy Razorlight - I just overplayed them. As a preventative measure, I think I'll take 48 hours now to not listen to Vampire Weekend (after spending the past 48 hours listening to their cd on repeat...). But you should enjoy them in that time!

Last Instalment of Workout Tunes, I Promise!

Vampire Weekend ~ Campus

I have yet to give this band enough credit for their GREAT workout tunes! This one, in particular, is a great warmup one.



Amy Winehouse ~ You Know I'm No Good

This is one of those songs that I listen to every workout. Yet, somehow, at Karaoke on Saturday, I still screwed up the words. Well, I suppose that, in preparation for the next karaoke times, I will just have to bite the bullet and start singing along at the gym!



Metric ~ Wet Blanket

This is a fun tune, I like the lyrics in the beginning, and the beat is good for keeping you all pumped during a thorough bout of activity!



Culture Club ~ Karma Chameleon

I think the 80s have been overlooked as fabulous workout music. This is just ONE example...



Vapor Kings ~ Turning Japanese

And here is another! I love the 80s!

Some New Workout Songs I'm Testing Out...

I heard this song, not even on purpose, three times today. It was the first on my way to work...it shuffled onto my workout list...and then it randomly appeared on the 90s on 9 channel in my mom's truck. It's definitely a sign that I need to have just ONE more day of anger. However, of all the versions I heard today, none of them were as peaceful as this elegant performance by Alanis here.

That being said, feel free to crank it up, belt it out and sing along to EVERY word - even the ones the bleep out!



And then...well, who can't resist at least a little bopping to what will.i.am puts down, even as Moto Moto. I feel bad for the man watching me get off the lrt this morning, 'cause he couldn't hear the beat I was grooving so much to...Then, later that morning, it made an EXCELLENT warm-up song on the treadmill - I can get a good rhythm going with this at 4.6. Nice warm-up speed for me right now - highest it's been all month!



On the same album, who couldn't resist being "physically, physically, physically round..." and then "shake up the ground.... ants in my pants"
As goes my saying for the week, GEEZ, I can't sit still with a little will.i.am in my ear....even the chair-dancing while I write this is contagious.... Day-um, as my BFF would say...



And then, you're a bit tired...so you need a rest? Okay. Take the first thirty seconds of this song to do that...maybe walk at an incline at a lower speed (that's how I roll the treadmill, these days, anyways). Suddenly, though, you'll be unstoppable. You'll catch the beat. You'll need to let it out. Maybe you need to get up RIGHT NOW and have an amazing dance party in front of your computer...just you, me, and a little Vampire Weekend...wouldn't be the first time...



And, then, just because you haven't gotten all that ANGER out of your system - here's some heavy metal. That's right, folks...mayhaps the first and ONLY time you find some heavyness on this blog...and only 'cause it was recommended by a dear friend of mine, and I do find the beat good for a nice pace to keep. Thanks, DeeDee!

There you go - five new songs added to my iPod for the most bestest workout tunes EVER!
