You listen to songs? Hell, I just sing them! Right now, my favorite is "When
You're a Jet!" from West Side Story. It's one of those oldies that just
popped into my head one day and I can't get it out....

I came up with some alternative lyrics some time ago while climbing up
one too many ridgelines in SW Wisconsin:


Oh Lord, won't ya buy me a titanium frame
Got dropped by a Huffy and I'm lookin' real lame
Don't want no aluminum, it just don't ride the same
So Lord, won't ya buy me a titanium frame

Oh Lord, won't ya buy me a shiny new bike
Encrusted with Campy, that's just what I'd like
Shimano ain't classy, so go take a hike
Oh Lord, won't ya buy me a shiny new bike

There are a number of tunes by Yes to
which I am especially enamoured.

Yes's "And You And I" is a Glorious anthem.

Aim high, shoot low. Steve Howe burns
through yer t-shirts like battery acid.

Heh. You can fool yourself.

My goodness, all of those?

Well, for when I am pedelling (level ground/uphill) anything that has a
driving beat of around 75-80 to match my cadence will do. "Gimme Some
Lovin" works nicely, don't know the artist. I particularly like Led
Zeppelin's "Kashmir" for climbing.

Downhill, I like songs with "sweeping" melodies, to go with the curves.
Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell" (The Wall) is a good one,"My Maria", the
new version by Garth Brooks (?) works fine too

Wait -- there's a band called the Coors?

[Shawn]

I don't listen while riding, the whole head phone safety blah blah blah.
I do crank, CRANK the tunes on the spinner. Only way for me to survive
the boredom.

Here are a few faves that help me tolerate the otherwise crushing
dullness of the home exerciser.

Shawn


"Time Has Come Today" Chambers Brothers
Heard this song a zillion years ago on a TV sports show featuring George
Mount, or was it Jonathan Boyer? Anyhoo, it stuck as a cycling song.
Good ups and downs, like rolling hills.

"Ponta de Lanca Africano" Jorge Ben

"Free Bird" 'nuf said

"Operate" Peaches

"Walkie Talkie Man" Stereogram

"Jump Around" House of Pain :-)

"He Got Game" Public Enemy

"Battle Without Honor or Humanity" Tomoyasu Hotei (good beat and visions
of Uma Thurman in tight yellow leathers Mmmm...)

"Hocus Pocus" Focus

"Ramble On" Led Zep

"Ringfinger" NIN Good out of the saddle pain inducer.

"What I Like About You" Romantics

I should have included an LZ in my list.

I'd go with Immigrant Song though but that might have something to do with
being from a land of ice and snow. :)

I would also include for honorable mention:

Lust for Life - Iggy Pop

We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions - Queen

I guess these days you would have to use 'carbon fiber instead of

Keep Yourself Alive - also good hammering music

But there are any number of great bits of music for
cycling. My favorite remains Il Barbiere di Siviglia
by Rossini. Now back to your regularly scheduled

There's always good music being made. People who moan about it not
being made are just lazy. Go find it where you live.

I've been into the Canadian rock thing the past couple years. I like
it better than any of the crap I listened to as a teenager.

If you like bass guitar, I've just gotta highly
recommend Chris Squire's Fish Out Of Water album.

It's such a knockout. To me, anyways. I really
appreciate Chris Squire's work. But that's just
my own taste.

[Old] Talking Head's Tina Weymouth is a highly
appreciatable bass guitarist talent, too.

And then there's that original guy from Santana's
band.

I rather enjoy David Bromberg's spirited rendition of
The Boggy Road to Milledgeville (Arkansas Traveller.)

While it's not exactly bluegrass, Yes's Steve Howe's
The Clap is an amusing & frenetic li'l guitar instrumental.

There's also a bunch of Taj Mahal tunes I really like.

If you wanna sing while you ride (and make onlookers
think you're crazy) nothing beats a Willie Dixon
belter-outer. Or Leadbelly's Rock Island Line ("I got
Iron! I got ol' pig iron!")

That aria from Madame Butterfly is nice, but some of
those high notes are hard to hit; almost as difficult
as early Led Zeppelin/Robert Plant material. Better
to opt for the Willie Dixon stuff. And AC/DC's Who
Made Who, while reminiscing about the Steven King
movie adaptation of Maximum Overdrive.

I also like Pink Floyd's Learning To Fly, debut'd in
their Momentary Lapse Of Reason album --
"tongue-tied & twisted,
just an earth-bound misfit ..."

I'm sure Neil Young's Downtown could be handsomely
adapted into a Critical Mass anthem.

Tom

It took some time, but I've got my iTunes library tagged by tempo, and a
custom playlist that fills my Shuffle with a random collection of songs
> 135 BPM that haven't been played in the last 6 weeks. Highlights of today's commute were:

Devo - That's good
Angel City - Waiting for the world
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Go Daddy-o
Bruce Springsteen - Radio nowhere
Burton Cummings - Nikki Hokey
Cyndi Lauper - She bop
Joe Jackson - Memphis
The Knack - That's what the little girls do
Queen - Coming soon
The Teddy Boys - Life in the big city
Utopia - That's not right
Van Halen - You really got me
Ultravox - Serenade
XTC - Helicopter

Tomorrow it will be another 240 songs

PS: If it's blugrass that you're into, check out Hayseed Dixie's cover
of Strawberry Fields Forever. That'll stretch your brain.

I burned my fingers off trying to learn to play that when I was a
teenager. That guy is such a good guitarist. I had to get new fingers.

It's true that there's a great guitarist in every crowd. But there is
not a Steve Howe in every crowd I'll tell you that.

It was a hot day at work today, unloading
cheap junk from China in marine containers
reaching interior temps of 40 C, and I could
use the electrolytes.

But it's gotta be a BIG pickle, with a papier
serviette wrapped around it. And then maybe
another one. Crunchy, toothy half-dones would
be nice. And then maybe some watermelon. And
some fruit salad with a hint of crabapple in it.

Anything but dry protein. Ugh!


cheers,
Tom

I just put 3/4 gallon of szechuan pickles [0] in my fridge about twenty
minutes ago. Nom nom nom.

Aye, I've got a nice watermelon I picked up that I've been working my
way through. I think it will make nice afters for some pesto I'm making
tomorrow [1]. Well that, or some mango popsicles I have in the
freezer.

like it like that.

Jazzes-up coleslaw pretty good.

Green beans are an excellent delivery system for
mustard pickles, of which in turn, li'l juicy
cols nestled up against yer slices of pot roast
are lovely. But I still prefer the traditional
mustard pickles, with the cukes and the petite onions,
and even the otherwise useless sprigs of cauliflower.

All this hard physical labour doesn't leave me much
oomph for riding after work. Well, actually, it's strange:
I get home from work and the thought of riding /seems/ like
more effort than I have power for. But if I actually do
get on the bike, it's not so bad after all. As long as I
don't have to sprint. My feet get pretty tired after
pounding a warehouse floor for 8 hours. But riding doesn't
make it worse; in fact it provides the relief of being
off my feet for a while.

I guess being dog-tired in some physical aspects overshadows
and obliviates one's senses of still being fresh in others.

IOW, riding physiology appears to me to be /very/ distinct
from workaday physiology.

Maybe the people who built the pyramids or the bridge on
the river Kwai could still ride a bike after work, if they
had bikes. And enough blood sugar, glycogen and general
good nutrition. And places to ride to.

I'd still rather have a pickle than ride a motorsickle.
Except right now I'm craving lamb chops.


cheers,
Tom

I opine that throughout the year, the best nutrition from which
to power one's riding is whatever is seasonal in your one's
local area, rendered decadent enough to be enjoyable. Nature
gives us what we need, when we need it, where we need it.

To everything there is a season. I guess this is watermelon
season right now. Tail-end of it, anyways.

There's much to be said for "live," uncooked fruits & veggies.
I just might do some blackberry picking tomorrow.

I wouldn't mind picking at a few hot/Buffalo/suicide wings
as well (especially w/ sour cream/bleu cheese dip with a
whack of Tang orange flavoured crystals stirred in, in
which to cool 'em.) But right now the thought of too much
meat protein just leaves me flat. Actually, I can't even
look a slice of baloney in the eye right now.

Anyways there's a tune by Don "Sugarcane" Harris called:
"Soul Food". I guess that might tie-in the ride tune
topic with our food talk. But his "Don't You Think I've
Paid Enough" is a hard-hitting tour de force.

Oh, and here's a pretty good riding song, when you
do yer own singing as you plod along:

http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/a/acresofclams.shtml

Remember those ol' Cp'n Ivar's commercials? ;-)

When I was a Returns Dep't I used to sing: "surrounded by
acres of claims." That was when I worked in a medical/surgical
supplies warehouse and Dalkon Shields were being recalled.
Shortly followed by Dow Corning silicone breast prostheses.

Those were the days.


cheers,
Tom

Yes - at least there was. No Idea if they are still in existence. From the
Emerald Isle IIRC.

I realize I made a HUGE omission in my list:

1 b. Gear Jammer - George Thorogood.
