MiS | Moving in Stereo

This morning, I decided to partake in my first indoor cycling class of the season - a Spinning class to most.  It’s an intense workout in every aspect that a training session should be.  And any good instructor sets the tempo to his/her playlist.  You want the class to pick up the pace for a four minute sprint?  Put on LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” where the tempo remains the same throughout the first beat to the last. For a set of intervals, queue up a track that has a rolling tempo - one that has peaks and valleys.  Maybe Refused’s “New Noise”.  Unfortunately for me, she didn’t opt to use tracks in my collection - except one…

We’re nearing the 50 minute mark and my legs are slowly beginning to wither out, but then I heard a shimmering hum and galloping from a far, with sporadic neighing, and forgot all about any suffering below my waist. Within two seconds of the intro, I clapped my hands twice and exclaimed, “Good song!” Plain Jane, with sweat rolling down her forehead, looked at me like I was high and an idiot.  High on Muse, girl! “Knights of Cydonia” was going to bring us to the finish line! It’s interesting how music can move you in various ways - physically but mentally, too.

This morning’s second wind in video form…

Muse :: Knights of Cydonia

When I visited Toronto, I found the locals to be rather friendly, almost inviting, especially at the Thai restaurant.  That restaurant should have thrown us out because of how loud Jason was being while downing cans of Sparks, but no, our pork satay was still served.  I would have never thought this town had angry music fans in their late 40’s.  Well, again, I was mistaken.  Over the weekend, during an Oasis set at the Toronto Virgin Music Festival, someone wasn’t too happy with Liam’s vocals on “Morning Glory” and decided he’d stop singing if the brother was taken out.  If you’ve yet to witness this moronic move, check it below at about the 1:25 mark.

Big ups to the one who broke this to me.
