Be mine?

Greetings earthlings.  2012 kicked off with a whirlwind of events for me but I’ve finally come down from the clouds and back to reality.  For many, Valentine’s Day is the ultimate reality check.  It’s a date (or not) in which all people have to face their relationship status head on, whether they like it or not.  A day when guys either sack up and serenade, or tuck tail and run.  A time when girls eat an absurd amount of chocolate, either out of heart shaped boxes or cartons of ice cream.

On the single side of the fence?  Don’t despair.  We still have music.  And where there’s music, there’s dancing.  And where there’s dancing, there’s nothing but positive energy in the air.  Whether you’ve already found that special person to cuddle with, or if you’re just looking for some cuddy, having a little background music is never a bad thing.

So here are some of my all time favorite ballads.  I hope you enjoy.

Above & Beyond – Thing Called Love (Andrew Bayer Club Mix)
 
Kyau & Albert – I Love You (Cosmic Gate Remix)
 
Sharam – I Love The Way
 
Tiesto – Here On Earth feat. Cary Brothers
 
Daft Punk – Make Love

Es casi Navidad y eso significa que me voy a volver a casa al sur de Florida.  Es siempre una Navidad blanco porque nosotros estamos rodeados de arena blanca.  Me encanta.  Me encanta la música y la cultura así. Y las chicas… ay yi yi.
 
Pero por supuesto, me disfruto de esta música con un toque.  Por suerte, algunas de mis artistas favoritos también lo hacen..  Recientemente los productores se han unido con el sensación latino, Miguel Bosé.  Hay algo en el lenguaje romántico que le da el toque perfecto a la música electrónica.

Así pues, aquí están algunos de mis favoritos. Disfruta.
 
Miguel Bosé – Por Ti (Above & Beyond Remix)

Above & Beyond – Sea Lo Que Sea Sera feat. Miguel Bosé

Miguel Bosé – Dame Argumentos (Tiesto Remix)

Miguel Bosé – Eso No (Ferry Corsten Remix)

The Real Runner’s High

 

 
Well I did it folks.  I went for my first ever jog in Central Park.  Now, anyone that knows me knows that white boy can’t jump, and he definitely can’t run either. I kept saying to myself that I was going to get my ass in gear, and I think there was a little leftover liquid courage in my system this morning when I woke up.
 
Like everything else in this world, I measure my running with music, and today I made it through seven songs. Believe it or not that exceeded my expectations. Just as the cramps started taking over and my heart started beating louder than my headphones, this song came on:
 
Jerome Isma-Ae – Speed (Original Mix)
 
It was fucking amazing. I found myself forgetting about the impending heart attack and pushed through for another 8 minutes. So while I don’t know how many songs I’ll make it through next time, you better believe I’m going to throw on Speed by German producer Jerome Isma-Ae.
 
Don’t be a bum, load up the ipod and get out there. Ladies, that means you too. Just because it’s winter time doesn’t mean you should cover up extra layers with extra layers. Work it sisters, you’ve got to burn it to earn it.

…then do not leave now….
