Get Galvanized with the Chemical Brothers

One of the tracks that keeps me galvanized is Galvanize by The Chemical Brothers The tune is very cool, I like the beat and it features Q-tip who is one of my favorites (I'm a big A Tribe Called Quest fan). The lyrics are also very motivating. It's basically about pursuing your passion/dream and letting go of fear of what others will think. I would have to say this song is almost like an anthem for my life right now. I actually hear myself saying "push the button" when I'm ready to take a big risk such as a scary phone call I have to make or sending my 'stuff' out to the world. It gives me the extra 'umph' to do things I would rather put off until 'tomorrow.' Here's a video for you to watch. If you can't see it below, click here and see it on YouTube.

Naked Raygun Live – There’s Nothing Else Like It

Oh my god I loved seeing Naked Raygun live. In a sense I was spoiled because L.A. crowds never caught on to the power of this awesome Chicago sound. So, when I saw them I was as close to the stage as possible with no more than 50 people in the club. But every damn one of them was whipped into a frenzy by the time the night was over.

Song of the Week – 5-4-10 – I Am Not a Robot by Marina and the Diamonds

I Am Not a Robot by Marina and the Diamonds Lyrics You've been acting awful tough lately Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately But inside, you're just a little baby It's okay to say you've got a weak spot You don't always have to be on top Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable You are not a robot You're loveable, so loveable But you're just troubled Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot You've been hanging with the unloved kids Who you never really liked and you never trusted But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins Never committing to anything You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable I am not a robot You're loveable, so loveable But you're just troubled Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot Can you teach me how to feel real? Can you turn my power on? Well, let the drum beat drop Guess what? I'm not a robot Guess what? I'm not a robot Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what?

If you need help, there is a free MP3 hypnosis download at icreatehabits.com titled Create the Life You Want. If you have a problems with self-sabotage, check out the book From Sabotage to Success.

Music to Soar Like a Superhero

steviewondersongslifeOkay, maybe this only applies if you're over 40 but the truth is, when I hear funk and soul from the 70's I feel like a superhero. I think afros and bell bottoms, I think bangs and wings in your hair. I think platforms, Elton John and Wonder Woman. I especially think dancing...you know, like Soul Train or something. I looked forward to Soul Train every Saturday morning. How about you? wonderwomanIf so, you'll probably like the Stevie Wonder channel I created on Pandora.com. Come check it out if you want to groove 70's style. Pandora makes for great background music while you're working. There are very few commercials and the sounds are exactly what you want them to be. Here's a video from YouTube with a little Soul Train action. I used to try and steal these moves when I was 10. *************************************************** If you like smart, witty talk radio for people who aren't afraid to be their own authentic selves, check out The Sheri and Erin Show on Blog Talk Radio.
