  Odd

  In Portland (Oregon), the gym I belong to will only play the worst hits of the '70s and '80s. There was so much good music made in those years, too bad they never play any of it.

  No one will ever agree. But that's why ipods were invented. My constantly changing workout playlist currently contains:

  • Million Young -- American Analog Set
  • He War -- Cat Power
  • I Knew This Nurse -- Crime
  • San Francisco's Doomed -- Crime
  • Start Choppin -- Dinosaur Jr.
  • Merit -- Dirtbombs
  • Natural Man -- Dirtbombs
  • Refried Dreams -- Dirtbombs
  • Little World -- Evangeline
  • Mt. Pleasant Isn't -- Evens
  • Blue Thunder -- -- Galaxie 500
  • Return the Gift -- Gang Of Four
  • Found Out About You -- Gin Blossoms

  • No Wow -- Kills
  • Wake Up Dolores -- Los Lobos
  • Don't Give It Up Now -- Lyres
  • Help You Ann -- Lyres
  • American Ruse -- MC5
  • Kick Out Jams -- MC5
  • N-Sub Ulysses -- Nation of Ulysses
  • AAA -- Paul Westerberg
