    Gym Music

    Most gyms that I have attended play a steady diet of classic rock crap...you know, ungodly shit like Journey? :P~

    My iPod is heavy on bands like Ministry, Lords of Acid, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Motorhead, Rage, Sisters of Mercy, Jane's Addiction and a lot of old punk. It helps with lifting, and even makes the despised cardio time pass reasonably well.
