Blogger thought I was spamming, what with all the links to May My Run. So, they shut the blog down for awhile. But, after I told blogger that I was in fact, a human being, they opened it back up.
So, lets celebrate with my favorite warm up tune. Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla. For our added enjoyment, here's the song being performed live. After the monologue that talks about how great pot is, the song gets down to its serious rocking, complete with a drum solo that rocks so hard the drummer has to put on a Godzilla head just to justify it. Plus, the bass rift just before the drum solo = win.
I've always liked this song because, well, who doesn't like Godzilla? Personally, I feel a certain kinship with the monster. I have a strong desire to work hard and get a sweaty t-shirt. He has a strong desire to bitchslap Tokyo. At any rate, the combination of good old fashioned rocking and lyrics that talk about destruction are good in my book.
If you want your rocking condensed to the original version but with cuts of Godzilla dominating...
OH NO! THERE GOES TOKYO! OH NO, GODZILLA!

iPod it!: Never Enough
I know a lot of people who listen to music while they run. I've never actually done this. I like to experience the nature of the run, plus I'm a big fan of being able to hear trucks and/or the neighbor's dog as they chase you around.
That said, I listen to music before I head out on runs. I have to. It stops the monotony that is stretching. Plus, it can get you pumped up, give you an adrenaline rush and just get you going.
Periodically, I'm going to offer up a song from my collection that I listen to. To lead off...Never Enough by Dream Theater.
Why I like it: I thoroughly enjoy rocking, and coming off of the album Octavarium this fits the bill. Plus, its got this angry, vengeful vibe that's awesome. I'll delve into this later, but its a very primal feeling I get when I run. Its a raw emotion I feel. This song taps into that for me. For optimum rocking, I love the guitar solo that begins at 4:23 and proceeds to do the musical equivelent of mix red bull and amp together until the 6:03 mark.
Plus, doing air drums has to double as some sort of warm up exercise right?
