W.I.S.H.-Wide Monday Mixer!

[aldisneygrl]

Often, Danger Zone and Sweet Home Alabama play back to back in my running mix shuffle. That's my favorite 10 minutes of running! When I'm thinking I'm just not in the mood, those come on and suddenly I can run forever! Must be a Southern girl thing!

Now I'm going to have to go shopping on iTunes for some Top Gun music.

I love Three Doors Down too, going to have to go find some of that too.

Shoot, DS has a b'ball game tonight, guess shopping will have to wait til later.

Here's my current workout section of my IPOD. Some I just added last week. I like to listen to this section when mowing the lawn and sometimes when I'm on the elliptical or even cleaning the kitchen!

I Gotta Feeling Black Eyed Peas
Hot N Cold Katy Perry
I Like To Move It Reel to Real
Waterloo ABBA
Can't Fight The Moonlight LeAnn Rimes
Nobody's Perfect Hannah Montana
All Star Smash Mouth
Pumpin' Up The Party Hannah Montana
(Reach Up For The) Sunrise Duran Duran
Hole Hearted Extreme
Don't Stop Believin' Journey
Tessie Dropkick Murphys
7 Things Miley Cyrus
I'm Shipping Up To Boston Dropkick Murphys
Time Warp Riff, Magenta, Columbia The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Miley Cyrus

My guilty pleasures are Hannah Montana. They're catchy songs and get me moving. I also had songs on there from HSM 1-3 but took those off for now though the albums are on my IPOD. I'm also a Red Sox fan, thus the songs Tessie and Shipping Up to Boston and a Journey Fan.

I can't wait until Sunday when I get to try out my new Just Dance game for the Wii! It's my Valentine gift from DH!

I don't listen while running, but like music to get me inspired on the way to a run or a race. Some of the songs I like:

Right Now by Van Halen (my "anthem")
Any 80's hair band, especially Poison, Bon Jovi and Journey
I Can Go the Distance from Hercules
Make a Man out of you from Mulan
Man in Motion from St. Elmos Fire
Pon de Replay by Rihanna
The Climb by Miley Cyrus

There is a lot of new music I hear on my Sirius that I wish I could capture like DH can (he has the Stiletto, which is an MP3 and satellite receiver)
Lots of good music listed on here too!!

 

[jmasgat]

No music, none of the time (to b@$!@-dize the radio station slogans). But I did promise myself that if I made it to mile 20 of the marathon, I would start humming the theme from Star Trek (...to boldly go where no one has gone before)

And the Tin Roof Ice Cream--inspired by last week's mixer-- turned out quite tasty!

Veronica, at some time we have to meet up - those are on my iPOD too! I am still figuring out the stations on XM though... and I have to listen to music when I run, just to get my mind off the fact that I'm actually running...

the rest of my list is kind of quirky - I need something a little faster (well, fast for me! Maybe not for others...) to keep my darn feet moving. Also, most of my stuff is kind of old...
Brian Setzer: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Rock This Town, Dirty Boogie, This Old House
Dixie Chicks: Sin Wagon
Bon Jovi: Living On a Prayer, You Give Love A Bad Name
Brewer and Shipley: One Toke Over The line
Rocky's Theme
Ricky Martin: Living La Vida Loca (no flames, please!!! LOL)
Bonnie Tyler: Holding Out For a Hero
Will Smith: Wild Wild West
Springsteen: You Can Look But You Better Not Touch

Hey Mickey- Toni Basil
Jessica - Allman Brothers
No Rain - Blind Melon
Find Yourself - Brad Paisley
Before he Cheats - Carrie Underwood
Redneck Woman - Gretchen Wilson
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
Black Horse and the Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall
Homours of Ballyloughin - Celtic Celebration (album)
Langstroms Pony - Celtic Celebration
The Toormoore Polka, the Ballyvourney polka, and the girl I left behind - John Williams and Dean Magraw - Celtic Passion
Mister Mom - Lonestar
Say Hey - Michael Franti
I'm Ready - Michael Teirnan

[princessbride6205]

Thanks for the reminder, I've been wanting that song. I just bought it.

Good choice!

princessbride - You may also like Free by teh Newsboys. (I like a bunch of hteir, but that one is a fave). Must go check out Reliant K! I know I've heard some of their music, but can't think of any songs at the moment.

Thanks for the tip - will check them out!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Hi Buffy! Good to see you over here!

Hi Carrie!!!

I had to post about music! I have sirius in the car and Walkin' on Sunshine came on and thought that would be my QOTD: what is your get up and boogie song?

 

[corinnak]

Well, it has been THAT kind of week - I didn't even make it back to share my own musical selections. I think a lot of my favorites have been named but I'll throw two out there anyhow:

Teenagers: My Chemical Romance
The Middle: Jimmy Eat World

The one that still mystifies me most as a running song that works, along with JenB - The Hamster Dance. It never fails to give me a little kick in the pants!

Next up: The next Monday Mixer ice breaker question! I will give it its own post, I believe.

 

[corinnak]

Good Monday! Here's a virtual bellini to start your day with peachy flair!

It's time for another Mixer question to get the party rolling! This one was suggested by Maura and has really got me thinking and dreaming:

"If you could do one race--money, qualifying, logistics is no object--what would it be?"

Bring on the dream-races!

 

[tiberius]

"If you could do one race--money, qualifying, logistics is no object--what would it be?"

Oh man! I am going to have to give this one some thought and get back here later. There are so many to choose from out there......

 

[syko]

I have two, the Antarctic Ice Marathon and the Para Olympics.

 

[wtpclc]

Ironman Hawaii! maybe the land of the midnight sun marathon in AK too.

Good Question and easy answer. DH and I would love to do the Amazing Race. We are diehard fans and every season we "know" that we would win Maybe someday we'll apply.

 

[SoccerDogWithEars]

I'm doing mine, the Indianapolis Half-Marathon in May. I'm obsessed with Indy car racing, so I'm excited to be visiting the birthplace of it all. AND I get to run on the Speedway. And Marco Andretti will be in town. What more could a girl ask for?

P.S. corinnak--love love LOVE MCR. Especially the Black Parade album.

Yummm! Virtual bellini -- the only thing better would be the real thing!

Didn't answer about the music but will share a guilty pleasure song -- Kid Rock's All Summer Long.

For the dream race I would have to say a half marathon at WDW some January -- wearing a lime green WISH shirt, of course!

I love this thread -- thank corinnak for hostessing!

 

[corinnak]

Let me just say: BOURBON CHASE!!! BOURBON CHASE!!!

It's a little bit of an Ohana joke - there's a percentage of Ohana team members who are bourbon fans, and we were looking at this one:

http://www.bourbonchase.com/

It is a 200 mile relay along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Pretty hardcore!

I'd also love to do a 3-Day someday. I'm not sure I could walk that far, though!

I also dream of the Dublin Marathon and the Honolulu Marathon. Both the locations and the distances are still just dreams for me.
