I'm also asking for trouble....

but……I've been asked if I'd like to teach a spinning class, and I'm considering it because it might be fun. If I did I'd like to mix a couple of very unique cd's for the class.

Your assignment, should you decide to accept, is to suggest songs form your vast collection that would be great for spinning to.

Remember, there's spinning, spin and sprint, hill climbs, runs and standing climbs to consider.

And for the benefit of the board comedians, they don't have to be about bikes or cycling…it's the beat, tempo and rythm that makes a good spinning song.

where are you planning on teaching the class?

how about some aphex twin? that'll make them sweat.

Kraftwerk's Tour de France is relevant and has a good beat to it.

ACDC [Highway to Hell or Back in Black albums] always makes me drive fast, maybe it would make me spin fast too.

I've noticed when DJing that bluegrass tends to get people really wound up.

And so does old-school punk rock.

Anything from the Franz Ferdinand disc could work.

The first four Black Sabbath albums.

That is all.

Rough Boys - Pete Townsend
Ballroom Blitz - Sweet
Trans Global Express - The Jam
Blitzkerk Bop - The Ramones

Road Runner-Modern lovers

Life Begins at the Hop - XTC
Rebel Yell - Billy Idol
Caught by the Fuzz - Supergrass
In a Big Country (12" mix) - Big Country (still one of my fav extended versions)

Twinemen - Spinner

Almost anything by Air

Almost anything by Sigur Rós

I Am Kloot - Over My Shoulder
….. and Loch
…..and The Same Deep Water

Doves - There Goes The Fear

New Order - World In Motion

The Lucksmiths (take your pick)

Johnny Marr & The Healers - You Are The Magic

(I tried to stick with music that I thought you would go with.)

For a spinning class? Most Air songs make me want to sit on the couch, and most Sigur Ros songs make me want to fall asleep.

Any high BPM europop disco. I know you have plenty in you collection.

My favourite cycling song was:

Everybody hurts sometimes REM…

They always had that on the tannoy for near the end of races.

Scatman: "Scatman"

;)

Cheers

If 'ANY' REM song played while I was cycling I would cycle under the first double decker bus I could find.

I would offer to follow you with a tannoy, but the chances of finding said double decker seem slim.

Trancefusion Radio Broadcast 01 or 02 - The Disco Biscuits

personally, i like spinning classes that i can sing along with, particularly 80's music. i was really excited to hear the Smiths in one earlier this month.

i repeat the question– where will you be leading this class? that also matters. folks on capitol hill prolly have far different tastes than Duponters.
