TT: Music to stay alive by
Here's the playlist of iPodded tunes to which I worked out on Saturday:- Billy Joel, "Big Shot"
- The Beatles, "Birthday"
- Rosanne Cash, "Black Cadillac" (an excellent do-this-or-die choice for lazy heart patients)
- The Violent Femmes, "Blister in the Sun" (which I first heard on the soundtrack of Grosse Pointe Blank)
- Una Mae Carlisle, "Blitzkrieg Baby" (with Lester Young on tenor saxophone)
- Fats Waller, "Blue, Turning Grey Over You" (the 12-inch 78 version)
- Count Basie, "Blues in Hoss' Flat"
- The Benny Goodman Sextet, "Boy Meets Goy" (with Charlie Christian on guitar)
- Swing Out Sister, "Breakout"
- The Rolling Stones, "Brown Sugar"
- Pat Metheny, "Bright Size Life" (with Jaco Pastorius on bass)
- Henry "Red" Allen and Pee Wee Russell, "Bugle Call Rag" (this is one of the celebrated Billy Banks Rhythmakers 78s that Philip Larkin loved so much)
- Elvis Presley, "Burning Love" (a song I'd forgotten all about until I heard it on the soundtrack of Lilo and Stitch)
Incidentally, I saw the following caption on one of the overhead TV sets in the gym midway through my workout:
DON KNOTS [sic] DIES LAST NIGHT OF POOR HEALTH
Hey, it happens.
