Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!

Later this week I’ll be traveling to Chicago for a long visit with good friends. I’ll be in Chicago for nearly two weeks and then I’ll be in Savannah for FitBloggin’ so if posts are spotty, forgive me!

Today’s TFT pick is Moby feat. Gwen Stefani “South Side” which was inspired by Moby’s visits to Chicago and the house music scene. I thought that it was interesting that per Wikipedia that the song draws a parallel between loud music in a club and the desensitization to violence but parody of the hip hop/club/dance music lifestyle in the video doesn’t comport with that concept to me.

I like Moby’s music (although I’m not a fan of his version of “Rio” scheduled to appear on the July 15th Duran Duran tribute album “Making Patterns Rhyme”) and wish I had the nerve to say hello when I saw him at the Mad World Book signing. Oh well!

This past Friday and Saturday I was a little busy running the So Cal Ragnar Relay (which I will recap soon) but in honor of my Dirrty Dozen team, I’m featuring 2 songs today – one for each “r” in our team name. These two songs were the most often heard songs on the radio while we were in our van. It’s not that I love (or even like these songs) but I know that they will now remind me of a most fabulous time with the ladies of Van 2 of the Dirrty Dozen team. Thanks Jamie, Kat, Carrie, Jill and Debbie! […]
