No one else needs to compete. Really. You can’t top this iMix.

Oh, and yes, there are 12 songs. I’ll spot you the extra $2.

that’s so cool! i would not have thought of doing that, but i think it’s a great idea!

I’m a benevolent guy. Letting you pick your favorite 10 of the 12.

Missed ya’ tonight. Hope it was a good party!

Here they are (in no particular order (and Happy Birthday!)

-Back in Black – AC/DC
-Down – 311
-Cochise – Audio Slave
-The Clincher – Chevelle
-Feelin’ Stronger Everyday – Chicago
-Stay – Dave Matthews Band
-Already Gone – The Eagles
-Cadillac Phunque – Family Force 5
-No Way Back – Foo Fighters
-Ladies and Gentlemen – Saliva

Ok, if we’re talking about a running playlist, here’s what I’ve got…

- Enter Sandman – Metallica (to get you going)
- Another Brick in the Wall – Pink Floyd (As you make that first turn, about 5 minutes in, this will help. It’s a long, entertaining song)
- Smack That – Akon and Eminem – (It’s a bad song, but you can download the clean version. I could picture you dancing around as you run. This will get you to about 17 minutes)
- Dead and Bloated – STP (At 17 min – 22 min, you’ll need something to sing along with. This is a rockin song and will take your mind off of running)
- Makes me Wonder – Maroon 5 (It’s a fun song… You’ll be be-boppin as you run.)
- Faithfully – Journey (Just trust me on this one… It’ll pump you up baby!)
- Bawitdaba – Kid Rock (Ok, by now you’ve been running for 30 min. and need a big pump up song. This will do it for sure!)
- Crazy Train – Ozzy (One last pump up song before the cool down!)
- Sabrosa – Beastie Boys (Starting the cooldown. This is for a fast paced walk and then into the stretching.)
- Superstar – Carpenters (“Talk about Lame”… You’ll be crying by the end of this song! It’ll wrap up your run perfectly!)

So, there you have it… A fun, emotional, exciting, keep you guessing run. You’ll LOVE it!

Miles Ahead – Joe Henderson – So Near So Far

Okay, do we get to vote?

I think everyone who couldn’t be bothered to make an iMix should be immediately disqualified. The whole point of the contest is to use a $10 iTunes card! Plus, I’m too lazy to go searching for tunes manually.

So, I clicked on Zoie & Michael’s iMix. Nice.

After I woke up, I clicked on Tim’s.

Since it seems wrong to vote for myself, I gotta go with Tim’s iMix. “Devil Went Down to Georgia” was inspired. But I’m having a hard time picturing Tim in his truck listening to Tone-Loc.

Fun exercise!

Happy Birthday Adam. Here is my mix, late, but since I worked on it so hard I thought I would give it anyway. It is a mix that ranges from 1980 to 1989 and it includes Rock, Blues, Alternative, R&B/Soul, Hip Hop, Country, Dance. All the songs are clean, I have checked all the lyrics. It is funny how many songs there were that I did not know had bad lyrics; surprize, suprize. One of the songs, Rappers Delight, is considered the first Rap song by most people. I tried to make it well rounded with some funny songs to keep you thinking about the music and not about running. Enjoy!

I just wanted to say thank you for doing this contest because I had so much fun. This is the first time I have downloaded songs and I did not know how easy it was to find old songs that I could barely rember. It has got me using parts of my brain that I do not think I have used for awhile. ( I know I left myself open there, but resist the urge. Ha! ) I was up till 130am last night looking online for songs. It’s been fun!

I grew up in the 80’s with heavy metal on the brain…..so you can’t handle my music, you weren’t even listening to hymns yet.

If you think you ipod headphones wouldn’t explode, I’ll send you a list.
