My Morning Mixes: Just Jammit, Baby!

Good Morning, Kiddies.

Sleep Well?

Yeah.

Me Neither.

Oh Well, Right?!

RIGHT!!!

Since I Couldn’t Sleep, I Decided To Hit The Pavement And Go For A Morning Walk-About.

It Felt Good To Get Out There And Wander ’round A Bit.

I, Of Course, Had Ye Ole Trusty MP3Player With Me.

He Provided Me With A Wonderful Morning Soundtrack To My Aimless Wanders.

I Always, As You Know, Try To Kick-Off My Walks With A Great Jam To Get The Blood And Juices Flowing.

So…

…For That Purpose…

…I Began The Walk With…

“INSIDE OUT“

by EVE 6

!!! !!!! !!!

Trust Me, My Peeps…

…It’s ALWAYS A Grand Tune When Beginning Anything Physical.

😀

As That One Began To End, I Went Ahead And Pushed My “Play-All” Button.

The Second Song Was…

“WHAT A DAY THAT WAS (LIVE)”

by TALKING HEADS

!!! !!!! !!!

That One Is ALWAYS A Person Fave, So I Picked-Up My Pace Even More-So.

😀

The Next (randomly selected) Jam Was…

“LINGER“

by THE CRANBERRIES

!!! !!!! !!!

Admittedly, This One Slowed My Pace A Touch.

I Love The Song, But I Really Wasn’t Quite Ready For A Cool-Down-Period…

…So I Only Listened To This One For A Minute Or Two.

🙂

I Went Ahead And Advanced To The Next Song, Which Was…

MICHAEL JACKSON‘s

“BLACK Or WHITE“

!!! !!!! !!!

Now THAT ONE Seriously Stepped-Up My Pace Again, And I Went Into My Cruise Mode!

If There’s Anything I Can Tell You About MR. JACKSON…

…It’s That His Music Was MADE For WALKIN’, Fo Flippin’ SHO!!!

😀

As MR. JACKSON Ended…

…I Immediately Went Into…

“AIN’T WASTIN’ TIME NO MORE“

by The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

!!! !!!! !!!

When You’re Ready To Get Yourself Into A Nice Cruise-Mode…

…It’s Hard To Beat That Jam.

The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND Is Damned Near PERFECT For Walkin’ ’round…

…Especially When You Have No Real Destination In Mind.

😉

The Next Song Was A Bit Of A Surprise, Actually.

It Was…

MIKE POST‘s

“THEME From MAGNUM P.I.“

!!! !!!! !!!

I Have My Brother To Thank For That One.

At Least, I’m Pretty Sure I Do.

I Know I Didn’t Put That One On My Player.

HOWEVER…

…It Was A Totally PLEASANT Surprise!

Talk About An Instrumental Theme That’s All About Energy!

It Totally Picked-Up My Pace, Once Again!

Cool Beans, Fo SHO, Kids!

😀

Mr. MP3Player Went Back To…

TALKING HEADS

…With Their Iconic Cover Of…

“TAKE ME TO THE RIVER“

!!! !!!! !!!

Now…

…Once Again…

…This Slowed My Pace A Little, But This Time I Didn’t Care.

Their Version Of This Classic Jam Has ALWAYS Had The Ability To Make Me Wanna Watch A Striptease.

Not Joking, My Peeps.

In Fact, It’s THE GREATEST SONG EVER In Regard To Performing A Striptease.

Trust Me, I’ve Had A Couple People Perform One For Me…

…And This Is The Song I Requested They Do It To!

(HAHAHAHAHAHA)

That Might Be A Touch TOO MUCH INFO, So I’ll Stop That Part Of This Bloggin’ing Right There.

But It DID Make Me Smile A Bundle, Fo SHO!

😉   😀   😉

I Decided To Personally Select The Next Song, Since I Wanted To Make Sure The Pace Was Picked-Back-Up Before I Went Into My Cool-Down-Period.

For Said Purpose…

…I Went With…

“LOOKIN’ OUT MY BACK DOOR“

by CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

!!! !!!! !!!

If You’ve Heard This One, Then You Know I Set An Almost Furious Pace For Myself.

It’s A FAST Little Number, Ya Know?!

SURE YOU DO!!!

Always A True Classic Fave Of Faves.

😀

I Decided It Was Time For The Cool-Down-Period Following That Speedy Jam.

SO…

…I Hit-Up A Classic Among Classics…

“NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU’RE DOWN AND OUT (UNPLUGGED)”

by ERIC CLAPTON

!!! !!!! !!!

It’s Seriously Hard To Top Ole “Slow Hand” CLAPTON, My Peeps.

Like Totally Seriously Hard.

But I Was Going To Try To At Least Match The Slower Pace I’d Just Set.

🙂

So…

…I Went With…

“ALL APOLOGIES“

by NIRVANA

!!! !!!! !!!

For ME…

…This Song Worked-Out For Me PERFECTLY.

There Was About 20-Seconds Left Of This One When I Stepped Onto My Driveway.

NICE!!!

😀

As You Can Well Imagine…

…Today’s Walk Was VERY Awesome Opossum, My Peeps!

It Felt WONDERFUL…

…And The Jams Couldn’t Have Been Much Better.

It’s FRIDAY, Kids!

The Weekend Is Upon Us!

Will YOU Be Planning A Little Walk-About, Soon?!

If So…

…GREAT!!!

Just Make Sure You Bring Your Tunes Along With You.

It’ll Help Like Nobody’s Business, Kiddies.

That’s A Promise…

…And A BIG Ole FO SHO!!!

😉

😀

🙂

My Morning Mixes: Friday, Sweet Friday!

Good Morning, My Peeps.

🙂

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.

😀

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

“MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRL“

by THE CARS

!!! !!!

🙂

BECK‘s

“THE NEW POLLUTION“

…Was Up Next!

Always A Great Jam, My Peeps.

ALWAYS!

😉

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’!

😀

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.

🙂

QUARTERFLASH

…Was Up Next With…

“CRUISIN’ WITH THE DEUCE“

…One Of The Best Songs On The Whole Album!

😀

I Followed Them Up With A Little…

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

…And Their Wonderfully Wonderful Jam…

“FORTUNATE SON“

!!! !!!

🙂

“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!

😉

I Went With…

ASIA‘s

“HEAT OF THE MOMENT“

…Next.

Always A Pretty Nifty Jam, Kiddies.

Wouldn’t You Agree?

Sure You Would!!

🙂

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!

😀

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!

😀

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!!!

🙂

… … …

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!!!

😀

Enjoy The Day, Kids.

THE WEEKEND HAS ARRIVED!!!

Well…

…Almost.
