I have a lotta musician friends and I listen to their stuff. I'm a huge supporter of local music. I think the only thing on my ipod that isn't is a Queen of the Stone Age song, a Soundgarden song, and some Lacuna Coil. Oh and the Offspring.

Everything else is SNFU, Bif Naked, the Flairs, Scatterheart, Static in Stereo, Age of Electric, the Smears.

A lotta punk stuff.

I lifted without music today for the first time in a long time. It was strange.

 

I didn't get to lift with music I liked for ages, then finally splurged and bought a portable sound dock for my Ipod to take to my 24 hour gym for those nights I train alone there (late enough that everyone is done for the night). I found that, while I like to have my music playing, I don't concentrate as well. I think that I lift better with the oldies XM station playing as I tune out everything other than my lifting, because otherwise I spend too much time listening to the songs, timing my sets to the right spots etc. that it doesn't do well for me. Weird, but I must be one of those people that just does better with quiet or music that's soft that I can tune out.

I second that! ZZTop's La Grange gets me into running mood too!!!

 

I actually like this kind of music:

I was in that concert and that music reaaally gets me moving if I ever need an extra. I don't like reggaeton though
