I'm in need of assistance here. See, it's Friday, and I've got fun waiting for me, but I have un-fun things to do first. And, perhaps because I'm not very grown-up yet, or because I'm merely human, or for whatever reason, I'm lacking motivation to get the stuff done I have to do, so that I can move on to the things I want to do.
I want to skip to the end, like eating ice cream for breakfast.
Not that I've ever done that. And, hypothetically speaking, if I had done that, it's really not like music would have helped. Hypothetically, of course.
But today, it feels like music would help. The problem: ever since music started costing money (i.e.- napster became illegal and disappeared/went legit), I haven't really added any songs to my music collection. And, curiously enough, the music I found inspiring back then (uhm, at... 14?) is not really doing it for me any more.
Enter you. What music really gets you inspired, gets you moving? I'm talking fast-paced, exciting, non-explicit music that I can rock out to on my headphones whilst getting crap done. I recently got a gift card in the mail from the Blood Donation Center or Red Cross or somewhere for 5 free songs, to thank me for giving blood. Hi, have we met? I'm an American Hero.

| Yes I have a Zune. No, I don't wish it was an iPod. |
Crazy Train (Black Sabbath)
Foreplay/Long Time (Boston)
Eye of the Tiger (Journey)
I Got a Feeling & Pump It (Black-Eyed Peas)
Rock You Like a Hurricane (Scorpions)
We Built This City (Starship)
Centerfold (The J. Geils Band)
So this should give you an idea of where I'm starting from. Yes, I know only two of those songs were actually recorded while I was alive. I can't help that I'm ahead of my time. I'm not opposed to new music, I just never really know what to look for. I only know about the 'Peas because of Sunday/Monday night football.
Grateful for your assistance,
TFW
Maroon 5, Peas are a definite! 80s hair bands are also great for my let's get our butts moving music! I wish I had my i-Pod here to look at cleaning music.
ReplyDelete@Trina,
ReplyDeleteCleaning music, exactly! If you ever get to your iPod, I'd love to hear more suggestions! Going to add Maroon 5 now, thanks!

I hate to split hairs, but shouldn't it be GETTIN' Crap Done music?
ReplyDeleteI have some music that helps me get stuff done that is more mellow but still motivates me. Can I suggest: anything by Ingrid Michaelson, Coldplay, and Sara Groves. Sara and Ingrid are my feel good music choices and when I feel good, I want to get work done. I would Suggest Sara Groves, Add to the Beauty and Fireflies and Songs.
