Tired of your tunes?

July 2, 2010

Even though I have almost 5000 songs on my iPod, I've become completely bored with the songs that I have in my cardio playlist. I bet that I've listened to the same songs thousands of times since I created this playlist a few years ago. This past week, I made it a priority to sit down and take a little time to work on it.

I deleted quite a few that I just can't bear to listen to one more time but I also added some fun new songs to help me boost my workout.  I've become so dependent on my iPod that it's almost impossible for me to workout without it.

Here are a few of my favorites that I've been listening to this week.

“Yeah” by Usher

“Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga

“Even Flow” by Pearl Jam

“All the Single Ladies” by Beyonce

And I absolutely adore these next two songs. Neither are upbeat enough for my cardio playlist, but I can listen to them over and over and over again.

“Just Breath” by Pearl Jam

“Hunger Strike” by Temple of the Dog

I'm trying to be more open-minded when it comes to listening to music that's outside my “norm”.  I could easily get stuck in a 70s, 80s, 90s rut if I let myself, but luckily, having a 16 year old in the house that loves different genres has opened my eyes to some new stuff.

Thanks to BigSis and HayHay for downloading some new tunes for me!

I would LOVE to hear from you if you have some favorite songs that you LOVE to listen to while working out! Just leave a comment or send me a quick email to lilsis at bigsislilsis dot com. 🙂

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!

    pearl jam fan, eh? me too, although it’s more of the fact that i’m an eddie vedder fan than anything else. i’m liking the group ‘cage the elephant’ right now–very peculiar and enjoyable music. 🙂

    Hi Grace,
    Yeah, I can’t get enough of Eddie Vedder. I think that’s why I LOVE Hunger Strike so much. The duet with him and Chris Cornell is AMAZING!!

    Thanks for the tip on Cage the Elephant. I’m going to check them out now.

    I love all those songs too! You KNOW Pink is my favorite, and Bad Influence always reminds me of you! Ha! I have to admit that I love lots of Gaga songs, including this one. In this video, you can actually see that besides being a great singer, she’s a really beautiful girl under all that *stuff* she puts on to be unique.

    So this isn’t about music, but I wanted to tell you girly girls THANK YOU for introducing me to the clarisonic face system!!! It is AMAZING! I live in Rome, which has massive air pollution and my skin was totally showing the signs, and I figured it was more cost effective to buy the clarisonic than get a facial every week. I love it, it has changed my face 🙂
