BROOKLYN FIT CHICK’S WORKOUT PLAYLIST
“Trojans” Playlist 50-Minute Ride
(This is for my friend Jennifer Meyer)
Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!
I am trying to get better about putting up my playlists as people seem to enjoy them so let us not dilly dally—okay? Today’s ride features a few of my current favorite songs plus a 7- minute climb using an eerie Dave Matthews number from the 90s.
Do I have you intrigued? Then let’s get to it!
- Trojans: Atlas Genius
I know absolutely nothing about this band but this song caught my attention right away and I knew I could start a ride with it.
- Desire: U2
Desire is the prefect “second” song but it begins with a crashing guitar sound and delivers the perfect, driving beat for 3 minutes.
- Youth Without Youth: Metric
Metric came to NYC last year and I could not get tickets—grrrrr!
- Keep the Car Running: Arcade Fire
This might be my favorite song by them but all of their music is pretty great.
- Thrift Shop: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
The version full of cursing makes my heart soar. Most favorite new song on the list by far!
- Elephant: Tame Impala
I like doing out of the saddle climbing with this weird little ditty.
- Gold Digger: Kanye West
Please get the clean version if you play it in class! It is still plenty filthy, don’t worry!
- Troublemaker: Weezer
I think the Red album is my favorite from them.
- The Pretender: Foo Fighters
The Foos are the best with making super-fast songs that make everyone work their asses off with sprinting.
- Crabbuckit: K-OS
Please come back to NYC K-OS!!
- I’m Shakin: Jack White
I am starting to become sexually attracted to Jack White. What does that say about me?
- Don’t Drink the Water: Dave Matthews Band
This song is perfect for a long, slow climb and has kind of a spooky sound.
- Call Me Maybe: Carly Rae Jepsen
It only took me about 10 months but I think I get why this tune is so popular. Yay me!
- Madness: Muse
Everyone tells me that Muse is the ultimate live band. What do you think?
So what do you think of my list? Remember to send me your favorite tunes in the comments below.
Until next time…
