I dunno what it is, but I find the theme from that
'Sponge Bob Square Pants' TV cartoon kind of inspiring.
Well, I just like doing the ol' "Sea Cap'n" voice. I
find it rather cheery. The 'toon itself ain't no great
shakes. Certainly not a patch on Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Well, now I've gotta get back to transcribing a boring
documentary about Canadian/Nigerian Olympic wrestling
champion, Daniel Igali. No 'toons for me right now.

"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea ..."

I feel better now just by thinking of that tune.

cheers,
Tom

The signature symphonic pieces are from Mendelssohn's "Italian
Symphony", and the memorable operatic piece is from Verde's "Aida". You
can usually pick these up for cheap in the "budget classical" rack at
the CD store.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

Am lucky I guess, have a close friend who produces rave-techno music. So
I listen to him and attempt to maintain his music pace. Some of his song
are over 180 bpm. Also enjoy "Clockwork Orange" soundtrack, Rammstein,
NIN, Ministry, etc.. I even reply to email as I spin.....

Cool Down - ELO or Ben Folds

The theme song for "The Rush Limbaugh Show".

Perfect in frequency, intensity, and duration.

There's some tunes from Hardfloor (trance/acid) that scream hill
climbing for 8 minutes.

I also tried C-Tank (the grand classic of hard core tekno) for
anaerobic intervals but I found out they are only suitable for
maybe hard sprints.

Dunno if this helps, I think this music would be only useful for
preventing overtraining with most people anyway.

How about spinning music as an idea for an album? :-)

Zippy, you mean "My City Was Gone", From the
album "Learning to Crawl"
by Chrissy Hinds and the Pretenders?

Personally I prefer Jethro Tull; Thick As A
Brick, or Aqua Lung (whole album.)

Yes, that's the tune, but I was only having fun.

I'll take Bruce Hornsby and the Range. Any album except "Here Come
The Noisemakers".

The Air-Dyne doesn't allow for "spinning". Its cadence is a bit slow
at a given workload. I'm going to get a new indoor bike or maybe a
Kurt Kinetic Trainer for my summer bike, then I will be in the market
for faster tunes.
