    Boxing Playlist

    I’ve been listening to this one for a long time now. The First made it for me a while back and I slapped it on my Shuffle and BOOM got smacked down by the sound. There’s not much traditional about it (well, Metallica’s Breadfan does make an appearance) but it will definitely get you through your workout.

    Incidentally, the ones with the highest playcount on my Shuffle are Guarded, by Disturbed, and BYOB, by System of a Down. Something’s clearly wrong with me.

    Crank it up, people.

    1. Operation Ground and Pound, Dragonforce
    2. Indestructible, Disturbed
    3. Guarded, Disturbed
    4. Fading Away, Demon Hunter
    5. Duality, Slipknot
    6. Don’t Stay, Linkin Park
    7. Dark Chest of Wonders, Nightwish
    8. Coming Undone, Korn
    9. Breadfan, Metallica
    10. BYOB, System of a Down
    11. Avarice, Disturbed
    12. Pulse of the Maggots, Slipknot
    13. Through Fire and Flames, Dragonforce
    14. Thorns, Demon Hunter
    15. Side of a Bullet, Nickelback
    16. Rawkfist, Thousand Foot Krutch

  • New Playlist for Boxing Training

    New Playlist for Boxing Training

    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.
