My Playlists

So remember when I blogged about my new amazing ipod well I had to make new playlists to replace my old ones. I had a whole bunch of different playlists for different things like when I walked to class, worked out, went longboarding, or went to sleep. Well let me start with the walking to class playlist. On this playlist I always start with some mellow chill music to get me going in the beginning of the day. Now I'm not the sort of guy to listen to mellow music, but in the morning I needed some calming relaxing music just to get me in the right mood, because when I wake up I'm the crankiest person you'll meet. Well this playlist included artists like Radiohead, John Mayer, Sublime, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Doors, and you can never go wrong with some Pink Floyd. Now I'm sure some of you are thinking that Red Hot Chili Peppers or maybe The Doors don't have to much of mellow music but listen to "Soul to Squeeze" by RHCP or "The End" by The Doors and it will take you to a calm relaxing place, like you should be in the morning. Now another type of playlist I had was a playlist to workout to. This was one of my favorite playlists that I had because the music would just pump you up for anything. I would walk into the gym and right away have it playing. I had all different types of artists and bands. It was mostly Rage Against the Machine, The Libertines, System of a Down, Avenged Sevenfold, The Raconteurs, and I'd also throw some of The Strokes in there. All of these bands contributed something to my playlist. With their music going to my ears it was like if it was traveling throughout my body and gave me that extra energy to keep me going through a workout or a run. Without there music on my ipod I know I wouldn't have that extra push to keep going. The last type of playlist I'll mention is my playlist to sleep to. A lot of people ask me how I can go to sleep with music blasting in my ears, but without it I have trouble sleeping. I need either some "Karma Police" by Radiohead or some "Over the Hills and Far Away" by Led Zeppelin to get me to crash. Without this music on my playlist and the playlists on my ipod I know for a fact I wouldn't be able to function properly.
