My Morning Mixes: Friday, Sweet Friday!

Good Morning, My Peeps.

πŸ™‚

Hope You’re All Swell.

Me?

Can’t Complain, I Suppose.

Still Got A Bad Headache.

That Part Ain’t So Good.

Nor Is The Muscle Strain On My Right Side.

Otherwise?

Well…

…Otherwise I’m Pretty Hunky-Groovy’ish.

I’m Sure The Headache Is Because Of The Freakin’ Weather.

T’Is Rainy And Humid.

The Air Feels Thick Enough To Cut With A Knife.

No Foolin’, Kiddies.

No Foolin’, Indeed.

HOWEVER…

…Regardless Of Said Headache…

…Or Of Said Muscle Strain…

…Or Of Said Weather…

…I Still Decided To Head-Out On A Walk-About.

I Hadn’t Gone Out-&-About For The Past Couple Days…

…So I Wanted To Make Damn Sure I Went Out-&-About Today.

For Today’s Walk…

…I Didn’t Do The Random Shuffling Of My Walkin’ Tunes.

Instead, I Made-Up A Little Playlist.

Listed Below Are The Songs I Ended-Up Jamming To This Morning.

… … …

I Began The Walk With…

SPECIAL K

by PLACEBO

…Since It’s A Pounding Jam Jam Jam-Type Jam.

It Totally Works At Getting The Blood Pumping…

…And At Getting The Feet Moving…

…Fo SHO Fo SHO, My Peeps.

πŸ˜€

The Second Song On My Playlist Was An Old-School Favorite…

MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRL

by THE CARS

!!! !!!

πŸ™‚

BECK‘s

THE NEW POLLUTION

…Was Up Next!

Always A Great Jam, My Peeps.

ALWAYS!

πŸ˜‰

And Then, I Went With…

NOTORIOUS

by DURAN DURAN

…Which Is A Totally Fun Jam…

…And It Has All The Power One Needs To Get Those Feet A Movin’ Movin’ Movin’!

πŸ˜€

I Then Took The Tunage In A Totally Different Direction With…

DON’T LET ME SLIDE

by TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

…Since I Just Knew I’d Be In Cruise Mode By This Point In The Walk.

πŸ™‚

QUARTERFLASH

…Was Up Next With…

CRUISIN’ WITH THE DEUCE

…One Of The Best Songs On The Whole Album!

πŸ˜€

I Followed Them Up With A Little…

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

…And Their Wonderfully Wonderful Jam…

FORTUNATE SON

!!! !!!

πŸ™‚

YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT

by THE ROLLING STONES

…Was Up Next!

T’Is My 2ND Favorite STONES Jam Of ALL-TIME, By The Way!

πŸ˜‰

I Went With…

ASIA‘s

HEAT OF THE MOMENT

…Next.

Always A Pretty Nifty Jam, Kiddies.

Wouldn’t You Agree?

Sure You Would!!

πŸ™‚

I Hit-Up Some…

TALKING HEADS

…Next, With The Live Version Of Their Totally Awesomely Fun Fun Jam…

WHAT A DAY THAT WAS

…Which Is/Was/Always-Will-Be A Personal Favorite!

It Gets You To Steppin’, My Peeps, Fo SHO!

πŸ˜€

I Was Nearing The End Of My Stroll At This Point.

I Knew I Had Time For One OR Two More Jams…

…So I Decided To Kick-It With…

KISS

…And Their Totally Classic Jam…

ROCK BOTTOM

…Which Is Totally My Fave-Fave KISS Jam Of ALL-TIME!

πŸ˜€

And Then, Finally, I Went Into Cool-Down-Mode.

What Better Jam To Cool Down To Than…

BLUE DRESS

by DEPECHE MODE

…Which Is (likely) The Most Forgotten Tune On Their Biggest Album, VIOLATOR.

And That’s A Shame, My Peeps.

It’s A Very Cool Song, Fo FLIPPIN’ SHO!!!

πŸ™‚

… … …

ANWAY, Kiddies…

…I Think It’s About Time For Me To Jump Into The Shower.

So…

…Y’all Should Do Your Best To Take It Easy AND Take Care Of Yourselves.

It’s FRIDAY, Ya Know, So Taking It Easy AND Taking Care Of Yourself Is A Total MUST DO.

Think Y’all Can Handle That?!

SURE YOU CAN!!!

πŸ˜€

Enjoy The Day, Kids.

THE WEEKEND HAS ARRIVED!!!

Well…

…Almost.

Songs That Make Me Smile: “YOU MIGHT THINK” by THE CARS (1984)

YOU MIGHT THINKIs Off Of THE CARS1984 AlbumHEARTBEAT CITY

Well, You Might Think I’m Crazy…

…To Hang Around With You…

…Maybe You Think I’m Lucky…

…To Have Something To Do…

…But I Think That You’re Wild…

…Inside Me Is Some Child…

…You Might Think I’m Foolish…

…Or Maybe It’s Untrue…

…You Might Think I’m Crazy…

…But All I Want Is You. …

YOU MIGHT THINK” (1984) (Single Album)

…Well, You Might Think It’s Hysterical…

…But I Know When You’re Weak…

…You Think You’re In The Movies…

…Everything’s So Deep…

…But I Think That You’re Wild…

…When You Flash That Fragile Smile…

…You Might Think It’s Foolish…

…What You Put Me Through…

…You Might Think I’m Crazy…

…But All I Want Is You. …

… … …

It’s Kinda Hard To Make Mention Of My Favorite Music Without Mentioning…

THE CARS

…As They Represent, To ME, The Epitome Of ’80s Pop/Rock Music.

THE CARS

…Really Did Have A Sound All Their Own…

…BUT…

…I Can’t Think Of ’80s Music Without Including Them In The List Of…

"Favorite Sounds Of My Childhood"

…Ya Know?!

SURE YA DO!!!

πŸ˜‰

Glad You’re Coming With Me On This One.

With…

THE CARS

…I Have Multiple Favorite Jams.

My Favorite To Walk To Is…

TOO LATE

…While My Favorite To Drive To Is…

MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRL

…But But But…

…My Favorite To Sing Along With Is…

YOU MIGHT THINK

!!! !!!! !!!

It’s A Song That Has Always Succeeded In Bringing Out My Inner-Singer.

And YES, My Peeps, I Actually Am An Alright Singer.

I Wouldn’t Say I’m A Good Singer…

…But I’m AT LEAST Good Enough To Be Alright.

πŸ˜‰

ANYWAY…

…I Was Be-Bopping Around The Ranch When Good Ole “Mr. Shuffle” Decided To Grace My Day With This One.

I Immediately Stopped What I Was Doing Long Enough To Smile Big And Belt Out The First Verse.

(hehehe)

Needless To Say…

…I Quickly Made My Way Back To Ole “Mr. Computer” And I’ve Been Clickin’ These Keys, Since.

THE CARS

…Always Seem To Be Able To Brighten My Mood…

…And I’m Hoping They Can Do The Same For Some Of You.

I Know I Know…

…They Don’t Work On Everyone In Quite The Same Manner…

…But I Know They’ll Do Exactly As I’m Intending To Some.

Anything To Help Break-Up TheΒ Monotony Of The Day, Right?!?

RIGHT!!!

Hope It Helps, Kids!!!

If Not?

Hmm.

Well.

There Are Some Peeps I Just Can’t Fix.

I’m Only Human.

Maybe?

πŸ˜•

(hehehe)

If You’re An Avid Walker… …These 7 Essential Classics Belong On Your MP3Player. Period.

Alright, My Peeps…

…You’re All Very Well Aware By Now That Going For A Walk Is My Primary Means Of Both EXERCISE And MENTAL/EMOTIONAL Downtime.

I Get Out There…

…I Slap On My Tunage…

…And I Go For It.

Sometimes…

…I’m Walking For Distance.

Other Times…

…I’m Walking For A Time-Period.

I Almost Never Know Which I’m Going To Be Doing Until I Get Out There And Get Movin’.

I Like To Change-Up My Routes…

…Trying To Never Go The Exact Same Way Each And Every Time.

Like My Blog, I Tend To Perform The Other Activities In My World As Randomly As Possible.

I HATEΒ MONOTONY.

.PERIOD.

By Maintaining A Feeling Of Pure Randomness…

…My Activities Almost Always Have The Feeling Of NEWNESS.

It’s How My Brain Works…

…And It’s How My Life Unfolds.

I Tend To Just Fall Ass-Backward Into Situations…

…Almost Totally Regardless Of WHAT Said Situation Is.

It’s Both A BLESSING And A CURSE, To Be Sure.

ANYWAY…

…The Point Of This Post Is To Quickly Discuss Some Tunage.

I’m Going To Impart Some Quickie Knowledge On Y’all.

You See…

…I Try To Walk Each And Every Day, When It’s Possible To Do So.

And There Are Many Days When I Go For Said Walks, But I Just Don’t Seem To Have The Energy/Motivation To Go As Long, Or As Far, As I Would Like.

THAT’S WHERE THE SWEET SWEET TUNES COME INTO PLAY!!!

Right Now…

…I’m Going To Share With You Something I Feel Y’all Should Consider For The Next Time You Get Out-&-About.

When It Comes To A Lengthy Walk-About…

…You’ve Gotta Have Those Songs That Motivate You.

Songs Where You Can Time The Steps Of Your Feet With The Beat Of The Song.

They Help You Kick-It-Up At Notch…

…And They Help You Crank-It-Out Like Nobody’s Business.

Here, For Y’all’s Pleasure, Are The 7 Most Important And Essential Songs…

 (in no particular order as I love them all)

…For Powering Through MY Walk.

I’m Going To Begin This With…

That’s Them, My Peeps.

Those Are THE 7 SONGS (and an Honorable Mention)Β I Simply MUST MUST Have On My Little Music-Box.

I Don’t Listen To All Of Them All The Time…

…But I’m Always Glad To Know I Have Them Handy.

I Derive Much Motivation From Each Of Them…

…And A Heaping Amount Of Pleasure, Also.

If I’m Going To Suggest ANY SONGS That I Feel SHOULD BE On Your Player…

…In Regard To Aiding In Personal Motivation…

…To Get Y’all Movin’ Movin’ Movin’…

…Those Would Be Them.

A Short…

…Sweet…

…And Even Easier To Truly Enjoy!

Are You Ready To Go Tromping-About For A Bit, Yet?

I Sure As Hell Am.

I’ve Already Done One Walk Today…

…And I’m Already Planning On Another.

The Outside Temperature Will Be The Deciding Factor As To WHEN I’ll Be Going For Another Stroll.

I Love To Sweat…

…But I Don’t Wanna Roast.

It’s Supposed To Be One Hot Bastard Outside, Today.

So My Second Walk Will POSSIBLY Be An Evening Affair.

That’s Fine With Me.

It Gives Me All The Time I Need To Come-Up With A New Playlist!

BRING ON THE DAY, WORLD!

I. AM. READY. FO. SHO.

The Walk Was Much Needed This Morning.

I Awoke At 3:30’ish A.M. And Simply Couldn’t Get Back To Sleep.

Nothing Major…

…Just A Nice…

…Simple…

…Brisk Walk.

And It Felt WONDERFUL!

I’ve ALMOST Got All Of The Feeling Back In My Left-Leg…

…Which Is GREAT…

…Though I’m Still Struggling A Bit With The Broken Right-Pinkie-Toe.

Every Single Time I Step Off A Curb…

…Or Go Up Some Stairs…

…etc etc etc…

…WOW…

ANYWAY…

…Sorry…

…The Walk Was GREAT…

“I Could Dream About Things That Never End. Wishes On A Star, And Something ‘Round The Bend. I Remember Times Things Were Pretty Clear. Felt The Pressure Pawns, Threw Away The Fears. …” THE CARS (“TOO LATE”)

“…I Believe In You,
And Your Sultry Side.
And I Would Never Jump
Your Never Ending Ride.
My Feet Are On The Ground.
I’m In The Lost And Found.
I Might Sway And Tip,
But I’ll Never Jump That Ship. …”

“…I’M NEVER GONNA GET THAT CRAZY. Β I’M NEVER GONNA BE SHOT DOWN. YOU KNOW IT TAKES A LOT TO FAZE ME WHENEVER YOU’RE AROUND. …”

“…AND YOU SAY… …IT’s TOO LATE. AND ALL THE STORMS IN LIFE YOU HAVE TO CONTEMPLATE. AND YOU SAY… …IT’s TOO LATE. WHEN THE MORNINGS RISE YOU GOTTA CELEBRATE.”

…MY LIFE ITSELF…

…I Just Wanted To Give You A Quickie-Highlight…

…From…

…Their 2011 Album

“MOVE LIKE THIS”

Period.

It Contains 10 Songs…

…And Not ONE Of The 10 Songs Is BAD.

They…

“THE CARS”

…Have ALWAYS Been Know For Doing Things…

…A Li’l Bit Differently-er-ish…

…Than Other Bands From The Late-1970s And Throughout The 1980s.

Their Sound Was ALWAYS Rather…

…hmm…

…Unique?

Ok…

…We’ll Go With Unique.

The Point Is…

…You NEVER Have To Ask The Question…

“Hey, Is This “The Cars”?”

…Because…

…Once A Song Takes-Off…

…YOU WILL KNOW WHEN IT’S…

“THE CARS”

Period Period.

The Song Highlighted By This Bloggin’ing…

“TOO LATE”

…ToΒ ME

…The Best Song On The Album.

You KNOW How I Am About Lyrics…

…And This Song Has My Favorite Lyrics.

Mix Those Lyrics With Proper Backing Music…
