Almost anything sung by Della Reese, but especially 'Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You)' and 'You Came a Long Way from St. Louis'.
Flag ThisOoops typo - I meant Pop Looks Bach - apologies.
Flag Thisfor steep deep fluff, gotta have 'voodoo chile' by jimi. it's just the right length. for trees, it's 'midnight man' by nick cave. and bumps, rage against is decent stuff.
Flag ThisI'm pretty sure it's going to be "A Glorious Dawn" Carl Sagan remix, tomorrow will tell.
Flag ThisMy ultimate pump up song for cycling and running (no snow in Dallas) is Bed for the Scraping by Fugazi from the album Red Medicine. The "I don't want to be defeated" chorus is like a mantra spoken in indie, post-punk hard core.
Flag ThisFor skiing, it is, without a doubt, Pop Looks Back by Sam Fonteyn. Not sure about boarding though, probably something a bit harder.
Flag ThisFor a very long time, "King of the Mountain" by Midnight Oil. Not so much anymore, it not being the 90s and all. Every once in a while though...
Flag ThisSomeday by Flypside or Rev Theory's Hell Yeah
Flag ThisHands down, "Everlong" by Foo Fighters
Flag ThisFor boarding, my favourite song is "We're Here for a Good Time"
Flag This"Lift" by Brad (Stone Gossard from Pearl Jam's 90s side-project). "Comin' down the Mountain" by Jane's Addiction.
Flag ThisFor pre-ski, "Crazy Game of Poker" by OAR. While on the slopes, you can't go wrong with a little Wolfmother for that extra adrenaline kick.
Flag ThisMy fav to ride to is "my name is Jonas" by weezer.
