About dTunes:
dTunes originally started as a blog in which I would showcase a new band every week. Soon, I moved on to themes. Every video was meant to be suggested by the community, the themes too. Unfortunately, my own personal tastes kept getting in the way. This time I intend to pick a community member from the Google Group that I made (send me your email if you want in) and let them post their favorite music for a week. By getting rid of the middle man (me) I intend on bringing to life my initial image of dTunes, a place where the community can enrich itself and create a better understanding on the individual members of the community by exploring their personal tastes.
It's the one day that can single-handedly ruin a perfectly good weekend. Just think, it's the time where all that partying actually catches up to you, the day you realize your bank account is righteously f**ked up and you're to blame, the day that the game you want comes out tomorrow, the day you have to go back to real, honest work...let's face it:
-EVERYDAY LEGEND'S MONDAY MORNING PLAYLIST OF DOOM-
Monday just f**king sucks. Thankfully, music is here to soothe it all.
When I start a Monday, I usually am in a pretty righteously foul mood, what with waking up at the asscrack of dawn to make a 5:30am run to the gym before work. When I have to be up that early, there's only one kind of music that fits the scenario, and that's something really, really angry.
Mudvayne - Dig
RRAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGHHHGHHGHHHHHH!
That's a real fuckin' treadmill song for your ass! No "I should be on ecstasy" rave music, and none of that pussy-esque Beyonce bullshit, nothing for the fucking single ladies. Bombs away.
Del The Funky Homosapien - Press Rewind
Whew. Now that all that pent up morning rage is out of my system, it's time for something that's a little more chill, yet no less motivational. That's where my man Del comes in. You may recognize him as the rhyme guru on the first Gorillaz album, but if that's all you know of his work, then you should be rightfully ashamed of yourself. Deltron 3030 is one of the finest albums I've ever listened to, even though this track is off of Both Sides Of The Brain, which is still a damn good entry.
Datarock - Fa Fa Fa
This song has the most catchy, infectious beat I've heard since the heyday of Daft Punk's Homework. This shit gets me moving, man. I can't tell you how much sweat I lose to this song in the gym. It's crazy. And probably life-threatening to some degree. But I don't care.
The Prodigy - Narayan
Booyah. The beat is sick, and vocals by Crispian Mills of Kula Shaker are dreamy in nature - just the right zone to get into when you want to forget that you're only staring at the same wall for 30 minutes on end.
Atmosphere - Hockey Hair
And so begins the drive to work. Gotta have something with enough attitude to shrug off the fact that it's fucking Monday, and that nothing will change that fact other than your state of mind, so I listen to a few songs during my commute that assist in doing just that.
Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)
When you roll into the parking lot of a sales job, you really want something that makes your boss(es) think that you mean business. This song does that.
Daft Punk - Da Funk
And this, folks, is how you take a lunch - with style.
Ween - Piss Up A Rope
And finally, this is how you leave work on a shitty Monday - with a laugh.
Monday's through. Tomorrow, I examine the power of soul.
