Anger Management…by Music?

Any of you have a top ten for these special moments, when anger and access to your music collection magically come together? Here is mine, not in any order.

You Can’t Leave Now, Wire

Kerosene, Big Black

Sharks and Sailors, June of 44

Enemy of The People, Killdozer

Fuel My Fire, L7

Mommy Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight, The Misfits

Vanilla Blue, Naked Raygun

I Will Refuse, Pail Head

Almost Real, Rollins Band

Assimilate, Skinny Puppy

So this Idea came to me this morning while in a real funk about some nagging that had slid its way down the hill into my lap. I was in the gym running on the track thinking I should really have a top ten for these moments ready and waiting on my Ipod.

No wait I was also thinking of it as I almost got hit by some lady talking on a cell phone right in front of my house yesterday(she was passing me on my left as I attempted to make a simple left turn into my driveway, I guess she did not see my turn signal or realize we were on a residential street). WTF does it matter I am sure I am not the only one to suffer these moments when all reason seams in very short supply. This morning I was glad to at least have the track. I guess running while focusing on my angst was also quite therapeutic although now my legs hurt (I did three miles in 21 minutes).

I dont have a top ten but I can definitely say it includes a lot of the old stuff we used to listen to.

I cant believe you run on a treadmill, thats nuts.

No treadmill, the center where I go has a 1/8 mile track.

Oh cool. That doesnt sound too bad. I bet it is nice to get out and just run like that.
