Though the layout of this post may look like a VIDEO SCRAPBOOK, it's not. YouTube videos are the best way to post songs without copyright infringement woes. If it got published to YouTube, it's already met their copyright criteria so it's good to embed.
These are the songs, in correct order, that I have on my iPod Shuffle. Like mix cassettes I made (or had made for me) BINT, I kept the selection to only an hour's worth of music or so. I coordinate my workout to the anticipation of the next song in the queue since, by now, I know the order by heart. This way I crank up or wind down the intensity of my cardio according to the intensity or "heat" of the song next up.
There's only a couple of relatively newish songs. Otherwise, they're all generally from what era? You guessed it...BINT. Well, actually, many are from even earlier, but by BINT they'd reached legendary gay anthem status.
My favorite and, coincidentally, the most intense song is, second to last, "Speed Racer." At 150 beats per minute, and a sub beat (if there's even such a concept in music) escalating the rhythm to perhaps double that, this song is gonna make you work! On my Fitness Center Cybex bike, this means a 150 or so revolutions per minute at a #14 tension level...a good 125 calories burned in just this single four minute song. And what feels like a gallon of sweat! Then, if I can, I go head strong into "Ibiza" and, with nervous anticipation, wait for the intense crescendo (4:55 on the video below) to really kick it into gear!
