I ahve an imaginary ipod and imaginary playlists titled “Get Hot Rookie” that include the following:

Melt-Banana, “Shield for Your Eyes…”

The Knife’s “Neverland”, “We Share Our Mother’s Health” and “You Make Me Like Charity”

Show Me the Pink, especially “The Anthem” (goes with touring really well for some reason)

“Libel”, a short song by Tilt, if youre feeling like some punk rock

“Teri Yakimoto” by Guttermouth, ditto

Ladytron gets hella stuck in my head. Try “International Dateline”, “True Mathematics”, and “Playgirl”..

“Feel the Vibration” from Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch..

and Technotronic’s “Pump Up the Jam”, of course.

There’s more (oh, is there more) but that’s all that my capacity to admit liking can handle now

i have found that i will start humming most songs from Witchfinder General’s “DEATH PENALTY” whenever i start riding fast. if i listened to music while i rode my bike, i would put that and Slayer’s “REIGN IN BLOOD” on my mixtape

Foxcx: Nice. I actually knew the words to that song before I’d ever heard it, just because so many people I knew would reference it while riding. So it was tuneless in my head. Like a poem. A really bad poem.

“Eat your heart out, Hulk Hogan!”

Dawn: That’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen (or heard). I especially like it when the mood changes from happpy-go-lucky to intense and threatening… “Follow Luang Por’s instruction… ONLY”.

I think it depends on the scenery. On my recent Olympia-or-bust ride-a-thon I listened to a lot of folk music (specifically henry thomas) because I was in the country and felt like I was really “getting it”. For closer-in, faster rides I listen to The Clipse. The best thing I have ever heard on a ride was Erin Playman singing a laotian song about meditation to me as we cruised to Multnomah Falls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev7Yz5PmwaE

Geddy: I think you’re fucking with me. But I’m going to put some Jerry Reed on the mix anyway.

Sixty: You’re amazing. I don’t know what you’re doing in Alaska, but I hope you’re having fun. Thanks for the playlist additions! And on the subject of KISS, my mom took my brother out of school and to a KISS show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco when he was SEVEN YEARS OLD.

Someone deserves an amazing mothers day card tomorrow.

Ohgod. I’m in Alaska. The sun barely goes down here, and I could stay up for hours answering this burning question. As I don’t listen to the iPod on the bike, I’ll steal from my running mixes:

- The Rubberband Man, The Spinners: warming up, wishing you’d stretched instead of ingesting 24 ounces of coffee.
- Academy Fight Song, Mission of Burma: perfect salve for residual high school-related low self-esteem issues.
- New York Groove, Ace Frehley: what, you’re going to go biking without some KISS? Suit yourself.
- Wolf Like Me, TV On the Radio: super-charged energy boost — better than Goo.
- Wild Mountain Nation, Blitzen Trapper: it’ll make you want to take your jersey off and sit on someone’s shoulders.
- Convoy, CW McCall: like I have to explain.
- Waterloo, ABBA: if fellow cyclists bother you, get this stuck in their heads.

+ all the Journey that makes sense, given your mileage for the day.

2112 by Rush. Nothing passes the time and pushes you forward like Geddy Lee Crooning about the overthrow of a Galactic Empire using only a found acoustic guitar.

Or maybe the Smokey and the Bandit Soundtrack. You can pick and choose East/West bound and down depending on the direction your headed, so its interactive. Like Jerry Reed is singing just for you.
