A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS, PART 2
Day two of a few of my favorite things. Basically, it’s all about the music I’m currently listening to. One of these days, I’m going to throw the old iPod on random play, and list the first ten songs that pop up. But for today, this will have to do. I actually got the inspiration for the list from my work out today. It seems that somehow, my 44 year old body forgot that it’s supposed to shed the weight it put on in the winter. So, I find myself in the nice position of having to beat the hell out of it…unfortunately, it ain’t working too well.
So, I’m doing three things to try to loose the pounds. First, I’m running, 2 miles 4 times a week. I’m also lifting, much as I’ve always done. Third is that I’m doing a six week program that supposedly works you up to 100 push-ups at the end of the program. Plus, I’m out shooting baskets at night. All of it, I have the trust iPod playing….and this week is some of the stuff I’m jamming to. Enjoy!

Great choice on the Camper Van Beethoven song. That whole CVB album is top notch

@jek:
Ain’t that the truth! I absolutely Camper Van Beethoven music. They have such a wide range of musical style, all with that little twist to em.

Great choice on Complicated Shadows, too. I forgot Elvis could be that intense.

I remember seeing CVB in their late ’80’s heyday,they were brilliant. My favourite bit was when they started doing Led Zep’s ‘Dazed & Confused’ with all the portentious chords, then just when the vocals would have kicked in, they veered off into a hoe-down! Had the audience cackling with glee.
