Powder Playlist
I never know when I am going to have time during the season to do this, so this year, I wanted to plant the seeds early for a new iTunes playlist for the upcoming season. I am pulling together tracks to listen to on the first deep Utah powder day, and calling it GSOE®. I'm just starting to put it together now, tend the soil, cultivate it, but I need some help. Here are the first 5 tracks, in "track/artist" format:
1. Uprising, Muse
2. 10,000 Feet, Wolfmother
3. California Queen, Wolfmother (it's ok to have 2 in a row from the same band, because it's Wolfmother)
4. Ramble On, Led Zeppelin
5. Theme from The Dukes of Hazzard, Waylon Jennings (don't ask, probably will move this to the end as I add more tracks)
I need more suggestions. I need to mix it up. What are you listening to? What music gets in your playlist when you are charging hard, playing in the park, or cruising groomers? Leave a comment with 5 "must haves" from your playlist, so I can check them out. Hit it. I don't care if it's hair metal, disco, country, or Nickelback. Ok, actually, I do care, but tell me anyway.

I'm all about the old-school style hip-hop when I am out on the board. Some of these are a little more old school than others (warning, this list is not child-friendly):
Boom Biddy Bye Bye - Cypress Hill
Drop That S**t - B Real
Girls Gone Wild - Ludacris
Latin Girls - Black Eyed Peas
One Eight Seven - Dr Dre
And finally, I am lately really digging Love Train by Wolfmother. Oh and My D*ck by Mickey Avalon. lol

All good suggestions. Here's a few more:
You Tear Me Up - The Buzzcocks
360 Degrees - Push Button Objects
Horror Business - The Misfits
Flat Light - Built to Spill
Any song by the Pixies will work
The Diamond Sea - Sonic Youth
Savory - Jawbox (just rediscovered this track thanks to the Reissue)
I think I need to go make a playlist now.
