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 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.
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!
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.
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)…
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!
I saw that tour in San Diego…
Such amazing music and voice…
I saw them at Coachella and they played a lot of old stuff… when was the last time you heard this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMfh3lKZ7sI this video is from Coachella…
