Thats What I Say

When I am at home or in the car I prefer my contemporary Christian music. That is what feeds me, inspires me, relaxes me and sometimes the right song comes on when I am stressed or having a bad day and it really helps.  I am sure this doesn’t surprise anyone, especially the people I see at church twice a week. What would surprise them though is what shapes my playlist on my Ipod shuffle.

I push past the guilt and rock out at the gym.  AC/DC, Joan Jett, Twisted Sister, Tom Petty.   Some of the songs have some truly questionable lyrics which brings back memories from my truly questionable teen years.  There are some newer selections that I love. They are faster and it really helps me stay on the treadmill/stepper/elliptical.   There is a little science in this which helps me rationalize my choices. The BPM (beats per minute)  can help runners pace themselves and keep novices like myself motivated.  BPM is even a searchable function on ITunes.

When I heard Brittany Spears latest song ”Womanizer” I knew that was going to be downloaded into my shuffle.  Kanye West is also a new addition.   Sometimes just having a little song that is a distraction from my regular daily life helps keep me moving.   This YOU TUBE link to Eskimo Disco is my newest favorite song.  Listen to it and see if you think it is as catchy as I do.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7RcqRmBlIQ
