Trainer Music: Mama Mia
Quote | Reply
I figure it is more acceptable to post this on the women's forum. Since my ankle is broken and the only thing I can do is ride my rollers, is it acceptable to do intervals listening to the Mama Mia soundtrack? Do I run the risk of being banished by the aero tech geeks from the main forum on account of this admission.

I figure if Pierce Bronsan can admit to liking this music (and actually singing) and him being James Bond and all, I have a green light to admitting that his music rocks on the rollers. I am sure that Jonas would invite me to his camps in Sweden on account of this admission, and that alone is likely a good enough reason.

Aside from that, I am trapped in an 80's time warp. Why do New Order and Depeche Mode keep coming up on my play selection and an array of British Gold New wave one hit wonders. At least I have no big 80's hair (well, I wish I could grow hair on my head).

Please suggest some music options so that I can come out of the time warp, and if you can't tell me that I did not lose my marbles when my fibula snapped and it is OK to train to this stuff!!!

I am a total 80s girl. My favorite music decade.

I have downloaded Kings of Leon and am really enjoying that. (I almost wrote "album").

I tend to download single songs that I really love. My To Go list on my iPod has:

Eminem - The Real Slim Shady
Beyonce - Single Ladies
Elvis - A little Less Conversation
Oakenfold - Starry Eyed Surprise
Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive
Hole - Celebrity Skin
Jackson 5 - A B C

Yeah, a little eclectic.

I can always count on Pink!, Cake, Fountains of Wayne, Green Day, The Killers, Mary J Blige, The Offspring, The Ramones, The White Stripes and Psychedelic Furs to generate a good playlist.

Don't call what Pierce Bronson did singing.

I like ABBA, but my person favorite workout sound track is Josie & The Pussycats, from one of the most underrated movies ever.

I know you can't run, but the best son to run to is Scott Joplin's "the Entertainer"

Hahaha Dev, that's pretty funny as can tell you my fav trainer cd's are Abba Gold and Kylies Greatest Hits.

ABBA RULES!!!

To Torres.
I watched Josie and the Pussycats the other night and it was great but not as great as the all time classic, Bring It On. ;-)

Because they make/made timeless music that is still good today.

Dev, have you heard the new Depeche Mode song? New CD out this year.

Celebrity Skin! that is a fantastic album! esp when you listen to the whole album in order, not random on the ipod. I heard her in an interview once with Howard Stern...he was chastizing her as she was smoking and drinking during the interview....he said-arent you worried about your voice? and she said=shit, Howard, have you heard what I do? I wouldnt call that singing....but it is such a great album. Also Depeche Mode is still fantastic. They are touring again this year and I am planning on it for sure. Rage Against the Machine and NIN are newer, still 90s I think, they are great to ride to....but why not stick with what you like?
also, and I am not saying this as you are Indian, but after I saw Slumdog Millionaire I downloaded the soundtrack....Jai Ho gets me really going. Love love it!

Those guys would make a great Ultraman relay team.Imagine the movie...

"Priscilla Queen of the Okanagan"

Most of inner Sydney looks like these guys this weekend as it the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras week.Hell if I went down there for the weekend at least someone might buy me a drink or two.That would be a change! ;-)

Okay JenHS you knew this was coming.

Back in '82 I used to work for the Sydney Hilton tending bar in the nightclub.The only places we could go for a drink after work were the private gay clubs or Les Girls(drag show) at Kings Cross.I would rock on down with the waitresses from our club "Julianas" and an assortment of gay dudes from work and party 'til the sun came up every night.Bloody hilarious fun!!!
The Mama Mia clip from "Priscilla" reminds me of some of those clubs.

I watch that movie every time it comes on TV. I absolutely love it and I've had the soundtrack since it came out.

Great music to run to.

Agreed. I request that some of the men lurking over here make fun of dev :-)

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.

I would rather poke my eyes out with a fork then listen to Mamma Mia voluntarily.

Depeche was one of the best bands of the 80's.

Back to the original topic, did I say that Meryl Streep does an awesome "winner takes it all". She's an incredible actress. OK, I better go back to watching Bond movies and back to the main forum to talk aero tech talk, or I might lose my so called manliness and be entered by sportstats in the W40-44 at the next tri (by the way, my wife said, she wants legs like mine, so does this mean I have legs that look like a women's or is it my wife's way of saying my legs look acceptable)....

....today I got stuck in a Duran Duran hungry like the wolf time warp and had to elevate myself back to some Depeche....here is a big time 80's party in Germany: http://www.youtube.com/...&feature=related

Nothing like partying hard in Deutchland in the 80's....good times! I tried to spend some of every college summer in Germany and the Cote d'Azur (the way life is meant to be lived).

OK back to reality in the cube farm and the pathetic 40something existence (OK, its not that bad, I have it pretty good).

Tomorrow night I am going to an 80's party/fund raiser.

Although my husband thinks the Cure is the way to go, I am sticking to the basics of flash dance. At least that way I can still ride my bike in the my jelly shoes> (LOL) The question is whether I will be able to see my pedals with all that big hair in the way?

At least the music should be good...and maybe some forgotten songs to work out to!

You are always welcome over here, Dev. We have been known to give advice on shaving vs. waxing, anniversary gifts, finding the best bike for a smaller woman, comfortable saddles and even where to find the gf/wife cute cycling clothes.

Nick comes over regularly to share his love of chick flicks :-)

LOL!! How very true.

I was a big ABBA fan back in the day and still listen to them nowadays. The movie was OK also.

Forget it, found it. Ahh, the dangerous sport of XC....NOT! Ha! I did once see a guy break his femur on a fall in the Boulder Tour. That was nasty. Justin Wadsworth broke his back once "skiing", but he was doing backflips off a kicker (on skate skis). Do tell, how did you accomplish this feat? I sure hope it was an epic crash with trees, ice and maybe dodging a wolverine, or perhaps trying to outspint Alex Harvey or something.

Get well fast, my friend.

he he he. I was off a ship at the Auckland waterfront once with about 6 hours to kill on my own before re-boarding - I found my way to the theatre and had a choice between Mamma Mia and Hancock. I was absolutely shot after 2 weeks of 16 hour days and wandered into Mamma Mia without really realizing what I had done...

I actually kind of enjoyed some of it (!) but only because I was alone! I think if I was going to see anyone in the theatre again I would have left on principle. And you're right about Brosnan :D

I am completely stuck in the 80s on my trainer as far as music goes... I just finished up a session with the best of ABC followed by Duran Duran Decade.
I say go with it, I do.

My other preferred trainer tunes is high energy dance music.

If someone stole my ipod (which I still call a walkman) theyd think they went back in time to 1989. Today it was the Sisters of Mercy and The The. Soul Mining is one of my favourite albums on a long run.....

Sto, the worst part is that at the point I broke my ankle I was barely moving...to make a long story short, I caught an edge on some even grooming, gained my balance back during a curve in the trail and ended up in knee deep powder, but standing up....but since the powder was soft and not firm I started tipping to the left, but my right ski was trapped under my left ski so when I fell left, the right boot had nowhere to go....broken fibula...first broken bone in 20 years on skis and that included 70+ kph descents on skinny skis on blue ice.

....back to the 80's time warp, how the hell did Boy George appear on my roller ride this morning. I was feeling all studly doing my final interval at 300W (all of one minute just to say my ankle is better than it really is.....actually does not hurt while riding) and this atrocity from the 80's comes blaring off an 80's British Gold CD at which point I almost fell off my rollers...at which point I am hoping that Edge appears out of the 80's with a kick ass guitar solo ....go to 27 second into this link from U2 at Slane Castle:

OK back to the main forum where I can discuss whether my non aero flapping race belt will take 10 min off my IM split and put me out of contention for a Kona slot given that I am not using dimpled tubulars....
