It's a century bike ride out near Strasburg, can't recall the formal name. To prepare, I've been going down to Haines Point and doing laps. That can get boring after 10 or so laps, so the music is key.

And if Hawkwind comes around, I'll be there front and center. I'm late to them, but I listened to Hall of the Mountain Grill again today and just love those guys.

if i tried 'training', -hell, even just stretching, to Helmet's Meantime or Strap It On, i would probably blow both my knees out and an elbow too. :D

They are all good, but start here. Also, Live at the Googolplex would be a good intro. It's kind of like a greatest hits album.

Hands down the best rock band in the universe.
Exactly! :) As for albums to check out, the self-titled mentioned above is excellent, as is Pure Rock Fury. Stay away from Elephant Riders, possibly their worst (but still would blow other bands away) album. :(

Rumor has it from what I've heard, even though we're not rock (damn two plugs in one day's posting time) that people love to work out to our albums since they're upbeat and driving tempos!

How about a little JB? Of course, I'm talking James Blunt here.

one second of zeni geva is heavier than 100 hours of disturbed. and way less annoying.

I hope this is a joke. If not, you have a lot of balls to mock Alec for his choice in music….

I just added the Clutch album to my lala queue. I haven't listen to much metal or 'rawk' since Somewhere in Time. I'm curious it even appeals to me anymore.

I have to say Rhett, you've really been struggling of late. Not that you were ever especially clever, but over the past few weeks, your digs seem much more forced. It's like you're really reaching to get a snarky comment out, but then it just falls flat.

I think the suburban lifestyle is making you soft.

What is YOUR secret for maintaining your snarkiness, in spite of living in the burbs? Remaining single?

Dude, that's what I need right there. Hell, I'd be able to rock out to Codeine or Godspeed if I could just meth out beforehand. Could probably get me a couple more wifes and shit.

Speaking of drugs, how about Eric Clapton doing "Cocaine"? That one's a rocker!
