Song #6 of the 2009 Galvanized Music Countdown

Saturday, December 26th, 2009
publicimageSong six on the countdown was released 30 years ago but thanks to YouTube, this year I experienced the song in a new way. I used to listen to PiL on my walkman and I always felt energized. Sometimes I even danced around when I heard it. But it never occurred to me that groups of young people would be going wild about it on American Banstand. John Lydon sure did know how to activate a crowd and watching him in action makes it worth bringing this song out of the vault. itunes_iconBuy Careering by Public Image Limited on iTunes. Watch on YouTube video Here are the results of the countdown so far: #6 - Careering by Public Image Ltd. #7 - One Tribe by Black Eyed Peas #8 - Fight Riff by Eula. Come back tomorrow to see what song #5 is. Between Christmas Eve and New Years Eve I will post my top eight favorite songs of the year. These tunes were selected from the 51 songs of the week that were submitted by Michael Zampelli during 2009. Stay tuned because very soon I will release Songs to Galvanize Your Mind - A List of Songs for Strong Minds with and a Strong Purpose. Apple iTunes

Warrior Woman Workout Playlist

Monday, January 5th, 2009
Sometimes it's hard to get motivated for your workout. Especially if you feel bad about your body or you're in boring surroundings. I have a cure for you: The Warrior Woman Workout Playlist. I'm warning you, this music is extremely high-energy and you will probably notice a difference in your body right away as you listen. Rather than drag your body unwillingly and lethargically through your 30 minute workout, why not glide like a gazelle or command your space like a warrior (or warrior princess). This playlist will help set the tone for just that type of workout. I was on the treadmill at 3.0-5.0 miles for about 42 minutes with these tunes and I had a rockin' good time. The majority of the time I was jogging, I only used the fast walk for warm up and cool down. All links go to iTunes. Apple iTunes Propellerheads Decksanddrumsandrockandroll I started off with On Her Majesty's Secret Service by Propellerheads. This really set the tone for feelin' a little James Bond meets Samantha Stevens. I was ready to raise the roof after this one. The song is 9:20 so it's almost ten minutes of total starpower. Here are the songs that followed. I was in the zone! Demons by Fatboy Slim In Britain by Red Alert Bodhisattva Vow by Beastie Boys You'll Never Change Me by Chron Gen Drop That Thing by Groove Armada Teenage Kicks by The Undertones Annalisa by Public Image Ltd. Cool down song: Believe it or not, Playpen by Social Distortion. This band is kinda "slow/fast" I imagined one of the slow mosh pits I used to see develop at their live shows. itunes logoAll links go to iTunes. As a side note, many of the samples that iTunes chooses for these songs is the set-up leading to the intensely fast part, don't let that fool you.

I was over at Mateo's Flashback Video Show thread again and I was pretty happy to see this Public Image video - Rise. I love John Lydon's facial expressions when he says, "I could be wrong, I could be right." Harry Potter Books - New in Paperback!
