Geoff's Miscellany

Over at voxpopuli, Vox posted on mood programming music. I would not have chosen most of his choices, but he apparently was in the band psychosonik (I’m pretty sure they made music for the Mortal Kombat films). I shouldn’t expect his musical tastes to be similar to mine or even to standard humans. His categories are:

Best 5 fire-it-up songs

Best 5 philosophy songs

Best 5 get-off-the-canvas songs

Best 5 romance songs

I thought this was a cool idea. Here are my thoughts:

Best 5 fire-it-up songs (for the weight room or punching bag anyway)

1. Fuel by Metallica (S&M version)
2. Animal I have become by Three Days Grace
3. Mars the Bringer of War by Gustav Holst
4. The Crowing by Coheed and Cambria
5. Black Wind, Fire, and Steel by Manowar

1. Every Thought a Thought of You by mewithoutYou

5. Ready to Die by Andrew W.K.

1. Can't Stop by The Red Hot Chili Peppers
2. Defy You by The Offspring
