The Great Gym Playlist

[f4f3]

Ok, I'm putting together a mix which will take my pulse rate from rest (about 80 bpm, apparently)into the weight loss zone (90-125) and leave me firmly in the cardio-vascular zone (125-150)before easing me back down to a soft landing.

I'm finding Tom Waits uniquely unqualified for this (except for "Going Out West" from Bone Machine, which has a great Drum and Bass solo. Well actually, it has a great Drum and Someone Kicking the Shit out of a Wardrobe solo, but let's not quibble).

So all suggestions greatfully received, and I promise to gym test every one...

The First Cut is the Deepest

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Well, off to the gym in about half an hour, and tonight's playlist (once I go and buy a new shirt) will be:

Warm up:

The Passenger, Iggy Pop (4.40)

Getting into it:

Born Slippy, Underworld 9.44
Firestarter, The Progidy: 4.41
Lust for Life, Iggy, 5.10
Jean Genie, Bowie, 4.09
Weapon of Choice, Fat Boy Slim, 5.36

Warm Down,

Wholly Humble Heart, Martin Stephenson and the Daintees, 5.20
If I had A Million Dollars, Barenaked Ladies, 4.26

I've been wanting to listen to Weapon of Choice for a while, and the last two always put me in a mellow mood (Humble) and then make me smile ($1,000,000)

So, as those other philosophers used to say,

"Hey-ho, let's go!"
