Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

Just want to thank Harp for allowing me the opportunity to annoy and alienate people on this blog instead of just my own.

And now for something completely different...

This is one that has been a constant training tune since the Summer. Videos a little cheesy but the song is killer. Enjoy Evergreen Terrace's "Sending Signals".

Back onto the trainer

2010-11-23T20:01:00.000-08:00

Now that it's gotten colder out it's about time to get the trainer set up and start the torture of getting ready for the 2011 Mountain Bike season with weekly trainer music. Here's "trashed, lost and strungout" from children of bodom. These guys have quickly become one of my favorite bands.

Trainer Music

2009-12-29T22:23:00.000-08:00

This is a new song that I loaded up to my ipod and it came on last night while I was on the trainer and it just rocked. One of my new favorite training tunes. Here is Rob Zombies's "American Witch"

Cross Racing Music

2009-11-22T06:22:00.000-08:00

This is the song I'mplaying for the cross state chamionships. Just the intro alone is all I need to hear. Pappa Roach's "lifeline"

I haven't put anything up on this for a while so I thought I would put one up that is way past due. This is a great song for me to have in the Ipod when I'm out on the road. It makes it easy to pick up the pace when the chorus comes up. The song is "Soul on Fire" by HIM. enjoy.

I've been slacking and running behind on my training music lately so this week I'm pulling out a oldie but goodie. This takes me back to one of my days working at a club when me and my sous chef would have our Faith No More Sundays while prepping for the always hated Sunday Brunch. This song also works great as a training tune. So this weeks song of the Abattoir is "Surprise You're Dead" by Faith No More.

Songs of the Abattoir 7/8/09

2009-07-08T08:29:00.000-07:00

This weeks song is one that I accidently had deleted from my mp3 player for and had forgotten about for a while but when I remebered it I couldn't beleive that it took me so long. It is "bye bye beautiful" by the Finish band Nightwish.

Songs of the Abattoir 7/2/09

2009-07-02T12:19:00.001-07:00

I can't beleive I've been putting songs up here for this long and haven't had one by Joe Satriani yet. Joe is one of my favorite artists and I've always said that if there was going to be a soundtrack to my life it would have to be done or be made up of mostly "satch's" music. This is off an early album that I've listened to for a long while that is great for those days when you're out throttling the downhills. This weeks song is "One Big Rush" by again the great Joe Satriani.

Songs of the Abattoir 6/24/09

2009-06-24T09:52:00.000-07:00

The song this week is one that is great on those days when I put in the long rides. I just have always like the way the song flows. This weeks song is "wasted years" by the classic Iron Maiden. I went with a live version for the video since maiden is always better live.

Songs of the Abattoir 6/17/09

2009-06-17T21:21:00.000-07:00

The song this week is another song by the band As I Lay Dying. I said in an earlier post this band will make several appearances here. This week is the song that really got me back into listening to this band after several years of not following them for a while. The song this week is one of my favorites still. The guitar solo is the music I want to have in my head while racing. When it hits the solo I can just watch my speed and heartrate go up from pushing harder. This is one of the songs I like to listen right before I race. Enjoy.

2009-06-10T20:29:00.000-07:00

This week I'm throwing out the song that was playing in my head during the state criterium championship. This is a new one to the training soundtrack but it really gets the job. This is "running free" by Coheed & Cambria.

I couldn't embed the video so here's the Link.

2009-06-03T19:53:00.000-07:00

It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted a song. But I'm back to it now and I've got plenty to go. This weeks song is by the band The Autumn Offering. The song is "from atrophy to obsession". Enjoy.

Songs of the Abattoir 5/6/09

2009-05-06T19:08:00.000-07:00

This weeks training song is from the band Kittie. The song is "Funeral for Yesterday". This song is a song that I have been training to since I really started actually "training" to race.

2009-04-29T12:24:00.000-07:00

2009-04-25T20:39:00.000-07:00

This weeks training song is late. This is one I've been suffering to for a while. It's "Devils in the Mist" by Overkill.

Every week I'm going to put up a song I listen to while training. These songs will be the songs of the Abattoir. This week is a song by "As I lay Dying" one of my all time training favorites. This band will make several appearances. This week it's the fast paced "nothing left" Here's the video:
