One of my super-tough MMA chick friends (who will box with me periodically and who is helping me learn ju jitsu: fist bump Junie!) sent me a few suggestions for refreshing my quickly-getting-tiresome Shuffle playlist for training. Her main additions to my existing soup were:
- Nine Inch Nails, Head Like a Hole
- Alice in Chains, Again, Over Now
- L7, Shove
While I was downloading, I also got the Rev Theory album “Light It Up” and some fresh Rob Zombie (Spookshow Baby). A new training playlist does wonders for me. Charges me up better than energy drinks and gives me mental edge. And new studies prove that loud rock music is really good for you! Like I needed incentive to jack up the volume.
Here are a few other tunes that are staying on the list for now:
- Hoobastank, Just One
- Saliva, Your Disease
- Sixx:AM, Life is Beautiful
- Slipknot, Vendetta (what an awesome drummer!!)
- Norma Jean, Robots 3 Humans 0
- Pearl Jam, Love Reign O’er Me (my sentimental concession)
- Korn, Twisted Transistor
- Disturbed, Avarice
- Deadsy, The Key To Gramercy Park
- Celldweller, Own Little World
- Emery, Studying Politics
- Heavy D and the Boyz, Now that We Found Love
- Pillar, Frontline
- The Offspring, Nitro
Feeling all refreshed, now, and ready to Kick. Some. Ass. Feel free to post your own suggestions (for music, not ass kicking. Well, you can do both, I suppose.) below. And remember: stay healthy, people. Crank it way the hell up.
