Spin cycle 08/23/07

Based on the insane class I gave last week, I wanted to tone it down a bit for this week and give a more "mellow" ride. I picked music that was upbeat in tempo, with a backbeat for the students to grab on to. We climbed 2 20 minute, gradual hills, with a break in between. I actually used a bunch of Ace of Base songs (didn't even know we had them on our music server....they weren't on my ipod). remember them? A modern ABBA....

Here's the list:

1. Solar Spirit - Asiatronic
2. All That She Wants - Ace of Base
3. Elation - ?, don't know artist, came off a compilation
4. The Sign - Ace of Base
5. Viva a Povo Brasileiro - Bazeado
6. Fatmazeau - Bagatelle
7. Just 'n' Image - Ace of Base
8. DJambee - Althea W
9. Stomp - The Brothers Johnson
10. Beautiful Life - Ace of Base
11. Hit Tha Flo! - Breakestra
12. Drifted - Groove Armada
13. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt 1 - The Flaming Lips

Today's class was the hardest class I given in a long time...in fact, it might have been the hardest class I have given, ever.
I was moved by the music, which was made up of 3 artists/bands that were influential in my musical upbringing: Pear Jam, U2 and Lenny Kravitz.
Here's the list:

1. Zoo Station - U2
2. Are You Gonna Go My Way - LK
3. Alive - PJ
4. Beautiful Day - U2
5. Dig In - LK
6. Better Man - PJ
7. Mysterious Ways - U2

10. In a Little While - U2
11. Let Love Rule - LK
12. Where Are We Runnin? - LK

Whirlwind mind, that's what I've got going on. It's my last day today at Genzyme. Damn, I don't know what to feel.

Anyway, You know, a little bit of Poison won't kill you....take a look:

1. This Love - Maroon 5
2. Darlin' Do Not Fear - Brett Dennan
3. Maneater - Nelly Furtado
4. Hey There Delilah - The Plain White Ts
5. Harder to Breathe - Maroon 5

7. Nothin' But A Good Time - Poison
8. All Good Things (Come to an End) - Nelly Furtado

When Poison came on, 3 of my riders had an immediate connection to it. I could see it on their faces. And that makes it all worth it.
So, I've been thinking. If anyone out there in cyber land who's looking at this has any music suggestions at all, please feel free to email me them. I'm always looking to keep it real, you know?
