My workout mix

[stoney321]

I've had a couple of people ask for this, and I'm sorry it's taken so long to get up. It's uh... big. Currently I'm walking about 2 1/2 hours 6 days a week with that bumping up to 3 1/2 hours five times a week, so I need a lot of music. This is the newest mix I've made. I replace it every two weeks, or sooner, depending. (If you're wondering why I walk so much, it's because I'm raising money for women with breast cancer - I'm walking 60 miles in one weekend. Feel free to make a donation, should you feel so inspired. It's an amazing organization with every single penny going directly to someone's care, not an administrator.)



I had to break this down into groups, because uploading individual songs would have been redonk. Here's my theory on what I listen to: I like to either rock out, feel like a badass or sexy, or shake my butt. If I can laugh while doing that, it's like Christmas and Halloween made into a cake shaped like ponies. Which is why I've got some Flight of the Conchords and Monty Python here. And South Park. :) I don't want emo music, or classical, or anything that makes me slow down/stop working out. Pick out what you want, toss what you don't. (And let me know if you're taking so I can keep track, por favor.)

Fett's Vette! WIIIIN.

And you have VELVET CHAIN! No one knows Velvet Chain! Yay!!!

Ok, I'll need to DL these. Just as soon as I have internet on a computer of my own. *facepalm*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

MC Chris makes me so happy. I loved him from the Aqua Teen hunger Force days. Nerdcore represent!

I dig Velvet Chain, but I only have a handful of their things. I need more!!

[tricksterquinn.livejournal.com]

Him and MC Lars, who I love like mad.

I should have at least two VC albums around somewhere. I'll see if I can find them to send your way. Definitely have the Buffy EP and Moody Groove Music (or at least had, once upon a time).

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Sweeeeet!

[wicked-charie.livejournal.com]

Great lists - but I have a great suggestion. My fave workout kick it song is Rob Zombie's version of Brick House from the House of 1000 Corpses Soundtrack. Cheryl Burke - eat your heart out!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know that one! And you're right - that's a butt kicking song.

[wicked-charie.livejournal.com]

My 22 year old has banned me from listening to that because I embarrass him (right - like I don't do that anyway!) He says his mother can simply not go around the house pretending she is a brick house. TOUGH. He wants the electricity to stay on, right? Well that song has this psychological effect on me. When you work out to Brick House, you can almost visualize yourself in the black crushed velvet mini with the thigh high boots. You know, you get that same feeling Bella Swan got that first day of school at Sporks High when every guy in the school was drooling over her plain little ass. It's power!

[abusing-sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Big Audio Dynamite is the balls... You also get mad props over here for reppin' MC 900 ft. Jesus, which is quite possibly the best rap name EVAR.

Looking at your music selection, I realize you might get a kick out of Party Fun Action Committee (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=27807827), which is a parody group that makes fun of pretty much every hip hop and R&B style that there is, plus whatever else strikes their fancy. It's not on their MySpace page, but if you're ever DL-ing stuff, you should see if you can find Mental Storm, which is a nerdcore parody (but in good humor as the guys behind it are nerdcore-adjacent) or Back N Da Daiz, which is a parody of every single one of those "Remember back in the hood how we did this and hung out with so-and-so" songs. Only weird.

Anyway, AWESOME mix. :D

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

BAD makes me so happy. MC 900 Ft. Jesus was from my neck of the woods - that song came out in 1990, or close to it. It's smoooooooth.

Oooh, thanks for the link! I'll be sure to check them out.

[abusing-sarcasm.livejournal.com]

It is a good song... We have a MC9fJ album on vinyl. We is hardcore. :D

And just a word of warning, I have the PFAC album, and I hadn't been to their MySpace page before just now. They have a song on there that I realize is supposed to be a parody (natch), but it seems kind of homophobic. I'm not sure if I should be offended or not... Just letting you know. :p

But "I Shoulda Known" is hilarious...

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, no worries. I mean, I love gangsta rap and that is as hateful as it gets. But I just hate the game, not the playa. ;)

[siapom.livejournal.com]

Ya know every time I think I've been doing a good job of expanding my musical knowledge - which is a bit more eclectic than most in general - someone posts a list of music. lol Which is awesome, since I get to hear something new! Thanks. :D

Oh, as for "don't you judge me...". Yeah. I'm a Josh Groban and NKOTB fan. You won't hear a peep from me. :P

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I love LJ for the hints on new music - it's such a great way to find stuff you normally wouldn't know about, at least it is for me. I'm just a humble suburban haus frau that hates the radio so I depend on the hipness of others. :D

[siapom.livejournal.com]

Fully agreed! Well, that and finding out that the library loans cd's. (Yes, I'm the last person to know.) :D

[chantal87.livejournal.com]

You are awesome my friend!
I'm downloading like a mofo.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

The missing link goes up in two minutes!

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

OMG, so much walking! *rubs your feet*

I will download and try to flail about the songs here later!

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

After a brief skim of the titles (and now off to make dinner), hahahahahahahahaha to PeeWee's theme song! *starts off Rube Goldberg breakfast machine*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

OooooOoooooh, purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

And hahaha, don't you want a Rube Goldberg contraption to make your meal and fold your clothes and feed your Speck? :D

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

YES! Especially if it means I get to eat Mr. T. cereal!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I pity the fool that don't let you eat Mr. T cereal!

[pernickety.livejournal.com]

Wheeeeeee musics! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Shake a tailfeather! It's been ages since I heard that song and I just remember why I love it so. :D

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Man, i love that Motown sound. The missing link up there for the third group is being added to my post right now...

[bitchygrrl.livejournal.com]

*sings* It's a shaaaaaaame the way you mess around with my heart. Thinks for sharing this. I need a new workout mix.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It's a shay-ya-yame the way you... hurt me!

Monie Love!! Man, I love her and Queen Latifah like whoa.

[angelofmir.livejournal.com]

Thanks for these, always great to have new music and anything that will motivate me to get moving is especially appreciated. Good Luck, that's one hell of a walk.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

You bet, and thank YOU!

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

kick ass!

will return later with more substantial commentary.

quick note: I was hoping for some beastie boys. ::draws hearts::

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I have every album of theirs, except this Jazz one that just came out. If you want anything else, say the word.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

thanks a ton. for realz

[knotted-rose.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the music! I need new workout music so much. And I will donate as well. Go you for doing it again! It'll be a few years before I do.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

[bu-doodlebug.livejournal.com]

DUDE. I've been meaning to ask you for workout songs for awhile now. KUDOS to those who beat me to it. THIS ROCKS! \o/

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[stephanierb.livejournal.com]

Wow, thanks so much for all of the music. I love B.A.D.!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

No prob!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Thanx for the music! :-D

[la-dissonance.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, what an excellent mix of music. I'll definitely be snagging some!

Totally agree on 'Oops (Oh My)'. It's like sex all folded up and poured into your ears like melted butter and honey. Not to mix metaphors. Anyway, your description immediately made me think of another song - have you ever heard 'Don't Be Shy' (http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=fbJkfxr4vvA) by Rouge? It's got a nice beat and Dr. Zeus is on it or produced it or something, so who knows, you might like it :)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, I know who Rouge is!! "Ay Papi" is freaking hoooot. I've not heard the song you linked, and I looove it, thank you! (That flute loop!)

[la-dissonance.livejournal.com]

I know!! I had this song for a dance show I was in, and it was teh smexeh. rrrrrr...

[juno.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the links! Always looking for new stuff to work out to,

[essene.livejournal.com]

Hi sweeterpea! I'ma take all your downloads.

And as per your say so I will sort through them and use them as I see fit.

Ummm....Q: do you use these all at once???

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Yay - take what you want fo sho!

Um.... yeah. Mostly. This new mix is almost 4 hours, which is where I'll be by this Saturday - 18 mile walk.
