Since the regular computer with all the music files is broken, I’m resorting to my wee mp3 player in which only fifteen music files are stored. This is the stuff I jog to.
1. The Kleptones – Bite
2. Bone Thugs and Notorious B.I.G. – Notorious Thugs
3. Too Short – Gettin’ It
4. Pharcyde – Other Fish In The Sea
5. Crucial Conflict – Hay
6. Pharcyde – Runnin’
7. Too Short – Short But Funky
8. Biz Markie – The Vapors
9. John Legend – I Used To Love You
10. Cee-Lo Green – The Art of Noise
I prefer the slow-ish jams when I jog. It keeps me from overestimating my speed abilities.
One name. Mason Jennings. Look him up.
I can say with all honesty that I know perhaps one of the artists on that list. My extremely narrow taste for hiphop is limited to esotery like Dälek or Sage Francis.

Friday Random Ten – 03.04.05
Time for Friday Random Ten, where you hit
“It keeps me from overestimating my speed abilities.”
This is no shit! I learned the hard way to keep the Red Hot Chili Peppers the hell out of the jogging mix! Kickboxing or walking, yes. Running, no!
I prefer slowish jams when I’m running, too – keeps that heart rate in check. My random ten this week isn’t from my mp3 player and slow jams aren’t represented. It’s still good though.

Friday Random Ten–”Who Told You Tomato Was a Vegetable?” Edition
Friday Random Ten is a favorite Friday meme in my corner of the blogosphere. Originally popularized by Rox Populi, who quit doing it for awhile but is putting in a special apperance today, it was picked up by Feministe, who…
friday on my mind
“Decepticon,” Le Tigre – I’ve been thinking of making up a playlist of records by strong women, as part of Matt’s re-education program, but I’m feeling that the moment has passed. What do you think: is it yesterday’s controversy?
You like Too Short’s “I Need a Freak”? That’s my favorite by him. John Legend is a god, but if you’re digging on him, you MUST check out Van Hunt. Buy the CD without even sampling it. I guarantee that you’ll NEVER regret it. Sir Mix A Lot has a fun song that was never on the radio called something like “Chief Boot Knocker” that’s catchy and great to run to as well. That’s my two cents!
Friday Random Ten – Post-Nap Still Sick Edition
I’m sneezing all over this post.
Okay, I want to play Random 10, too. Here’s what I got when I’m rocking my mp3:
1. Soldier – Destiny’s Child
2. Float On – Modest Mouse
3. Hypnotize – Notorious B.I.G.
4. The Next Episode – Snoop and Dre
5. King of the Dancehall – Beanie Man
6. Since U Been Gone – Kelly Clarkson
7. Get Down On It – Blue (yep, it’s a remix by some white boys)
8. Superstitious – Stevie Wonder
9. Okay – Nivea
10. Drop It Like It’s Hot – Snoop and Pharrell
Party Shuffle says:
Midnight – Peter Green
Out of Limits – The Challengers
I Can’t Stand It – The Spencer Davis Group
New Girl in School – Jan & Dean
Barroom Confidential – Twistin’ Tartanulas
Jig of Life – Kate Bush
Tight Turn – The Raybeats
My Bonnie – Tony Sheridan & The Beatles
Lady Willpower – Gary Puckett and the Union Gap
Pink-Peg Slacks – Eddie Cochran
HDL: Despite Too Short’s lyrical content, he can’t go wrong by me. It’s too bad to be taken seriously. And as far as Sir Mix-A-Lot goes, it’s all about “Posse on Broadway.”
