Music I Exercise To and Some Odds and Ends

I received an email in which I was asked a number of questions about what types of music. I grew up listening to a wide variety of types. It really has developed into a general love for music.

My personal collection is relatively large and constantly growing. One of my favorite developments of the Internet age is the ability to download individual songs. There have been far too many instances of my having been forced to buy an album that is at best fair so that I could own the one or two good songs on it.

This evening I stumbled across a video of Prodigy performing Breathe. When I work out on my heavy bag I frequently play this as it has a good beat. The goal is to keep hitting the bag throughout the entire song. On a side note I have played around with adopting that bald guy's hairstyle. What do you think.

And just to give you a sense of how diverse my taste can be here are links to some other videos that I enjoy, or should I say music that I really enjoy.

Visions of Paradise by Mick Jagger (Say what you will about Mick, I love the story in this video)

Tunak Tunak Tun by Daler Mehndi

King Without a Crown by Matisyahu

Like you I'm a big fan of the advent of individual songs. Albums are designed to contain only a few strong songs, it also allows to experience a greater variety of artists and styles.

That freedom has really helped to expand my taste ever further.
