This week's song is about going out and having a good time. You can watch the video here or see a much cleaner version on YouTube.
Buy I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas on iTunesThe song of the week is brought to you by Michael Zampelli, former owner of Southern California punk rock icon, Zed Records. For almost 30 years, this mecca of punk and alternative music kept Southern California enthusiasts adequately supplied with unique, original and innovative music.
Currently, Zampelli manages a hockey fan message boards at www.letsgokings.com with thousands of subscribers. He takes photos for the LAist and the LA Derby Dolls. Each week he will contribute a song with a theme, a message and a beat. Enjoy and stay tuned.
I belong to this really cool, positive network of people called Change Your Chi. It's basically a place for people who want to create postive change in their own lives and the world at large. Tonight I was over there chatting and having a good ol' time.
The founder of the site, Stephanie McWilliams recommended that we all post the music that pumps us up so we could share with others. Hmmmm. Something tells me this isn't what she had in mind. Rather than risk getting banned over there, I'll post my 'pump me up' music videos here. Listeners beware this is unlike any inspirational music you've ever heard.

Galvanize the Empire (a Party Ben remix of the song Galvanize by the Chemical Brothers and Empire Strikes Back Music). This video is new to me but very cool. According to the YouTube description it is: "Chemical Brothers, John Williams, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero, and House of Flying Daggers all mashed up." Listen to the lyrics. Words of wisdom if you ask me.

F**k You That's Why by the Smut Peddlers (Not on YouTube) but you can get it on iTunes. I personally enjoy jumping around my living room and lip-synching to this tune. It is a great stress reliever.
After listening to these songs you will either be motivated, stirred up, agitated or all of the above but if it acts as a catalyst for doing something out of the ordinary, that can't be such a bad thing now, can it? Have you taken a close look at what is "ordinary" these days? It's about as crazy as it gets.
