The second DYH iMix is here, and this one is for the runners. I’m training for the San Francisco marathon this July, so I need something to listen to while the miles pass by. This is a collection of ten songs that will make you want to get out and get going:
- Mase – Breathe, Stretch, Shake – The perfect warm up song.
- T.I. – Motivation – For when you need some…motivation.
- Black Eyed Peas – Let’s Get Retarted – Don’t worry about how you look, just start runnin’ runnin’.
- Maroon 5 – Harder To Breathe – Now it’s starting to hurt.
- Lenny Kravitz – Where Are We Runnin’? – And how far are we going to go?
- Iron Maiden – Run To The Hills – Now you’ve got a destination.
- Visioneers – Runnin’ – Just keep going.
- DMX – One More Road To Cross – You’re almost there.
- Eminem – Lose Yourself – For when you need that last little kick.
- Unk – Walk It Out – A great way to cool down.
Now get going!
[iTunes Store - DYH iMix 05.07]
The DYH iMix 04.07 is the first in a monthly series of iMixes that will feature unique music for you to download and enjoy. Each iMix will contain 10 songs, and is going to be a compilation of genres, ages, and popularity levels. The goal is to highlight new music that you haven’t heard of, and to provide you with a source of songs to add to your music collection. For the first month, the tracks are as follows:
- Cat Stevens – Where Do The Children Play? – A classic from the man now known as Yusef Islam.
- José González – Heartbeats – The song made famous by the Sony Bravia ad.
- Michael Andrews & Gary Jules – Mad World – The song made famous by the Gears Of War ad.
- Carrie Underwood – Before He Cheats – Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned.
- Britney Spears – (You Drive Me) Crazy – Considering the recent Britney news, the irony of this song continues to grow on a daily basis.
- MIMS – This Is Why I’m Hot – Takes every currently popular hip-hop niche and mixes them all into one catchy track.
- John Mayer – Waiting On The World To Change – Feel good music with a message.
-
The Pack – Vans – A group of high school students from Berkeley California rapping about their shoes.
-
O.A.R. – The Was A Crazy Game Of Poker – A story song that makes you want to jump out of your chair and dance.
- Brad Paisley – She’s Everything – A love song about the subtle things that make someone special.
Sounds good, right? I thought so too. Though I’m trying to do the work for you, I’m also open to suggestions, so if you think that you’ve found something iMix worthy, let me know. Rock out.

…It’s TGI Friday: Beer?
by Cory O'Brien
Free Stuff Friday is back, and this time, I’m giving away a $10 iTunes gift card to one lucky winner (which is coincidentally just enough to buy the DYH iMix 04.07 if you so choose). To enter, just add a comment to this post with the name of your favorite beer. Not only will this earn you an entry into the contest, it will also add $.50 to the Comment Charity total as a way of saying thanks for your time.
Don’t drink beer? No problem; just comment with the name of your favorite beer alternative (soda, coffee, water, wine, etc.) and you’ll also be entered.
Though my all-time favorite would have to be Stone’s Imperial Russian Stout, I’m currently digging the wonderful Pipeline Porter that Kona recently released.
As usual, the contest will run through Sunday, so you have plenty of time to pick a favorite (or make one up if you don’t already have one) and type it into the comment box.
A few minutes of your time in exchange for a chance at a few free songs? Sounds like a good deal to me. Cheers.
