Anyone have any tips for good skinning music? Something that helps you get into a rhythm, that helps you walk and your mind to empty, you know, meet the buddha type feeling. I don't have any music that is good like this.
Thought some trance or something like that would be good but don't really know where to start (and I started by searching ;) ). Any suggestions would be cool as long as they aren't country. Thanks
And to iskibc: no.
I don't care what you skin to as long as I don't have to listen to it.
I'm usually trying to hear any clues of the infamous "Whoomp!"
I'm usually trying not to hear the whoomph.
"Working in a Coal Mine" by Devo (for that matter "Whip it" would be good too)
Fair enough point. I should clarify that I don't listen to music when skinning somewhere I perceive myself to be at risk from avys. That would be asking for me to be naturally deselected... :) Music is more for the long, mellower tours and spring stuff (and not any steeper stuff).Quote:

It's the big spring tours when I really need da beats to help with da rhythm. I'll check that stuff out, thanks KQ.
James McMurtry - "Every Little Bit Counts" would be a nice mellow walking tune.
If I am trying to go fast and hard, I listen to Public Enemy: Fear of a Black Planet.
If I am out for a mellow tour or a long daydreaming slog, I like the Mountain Goats.
check out http://www.discogs.com/ for good electronica info. A few I like:
Thievery Corporation
Tosca
Nightmares On Wax
Fila Brazillia
Attica Blues
DJ Krush
Heh....Hev beat me to it. Hard to beat Thievery Corporation for skinning along.
Kewl, thanks, the inet connection will be buzzing tonight.
About electronica - I found some great tunes at www.audiodregs.com One of the songs on the Helly Hansen freebe DVD (the Collins segment) was from there. Good stuff.
Salmonella dub, the album "inside the dubplates"
Nice groove. One of my all time favorite albums.
Come to Colorado and all you'll hear is me and my 'bile lapping your ass all day. hehe.
Good list, I'd add Kruder & Dorfmeister (K&D sessions) and DJ Mark Farina. Just love TC's Lebanese Blonde for skiing/skinning. For more energetic skinning Zebrahead, Propellerheads, Megadeth. Cant wait to get an ipod. Goodbye to carrying tapes and cd's, ahhhh!Quote:

:eek:
For skinning, I like music with a good beat and rhythm (but not too fast) and also not too loud or full of sound so that I can potentially hear my surroundings. Recent favorite:
Lee Scratch Perry-Upsetter in Dub
Pink Floyd's album (now a cd) - "Meddle"
"You choose the place and I'll choose the time,
and we'll try climbing..."
side 1 for the sunshine and big cumulus.
side 2 for the incoming storm.
LITT
Yellow. Don't know if it works for skinning but it sure works for single-handling a sailboat at night.
drC - Who stopped catching up w/ music in the '80s anyways.
AC/DC - It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock & Roll)
The title kinda speaks for itself.
Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood - These Boots Are Made for Walkin'
German third reich march music might set you in the mood for walking but I'm not too sure about the political correctness and ethics if you listen to that. I have a collection of Oktober-fest CD's lying around that you might be interested in though...
Otherwise I've seen people around Valley X using other methods than music for meeting Buddha while skinning/skiing/boarding/whatever but I can't really recommend them for general awareness and safety precautions in the mountains.
Do you have "Who the fuck is Alice?" in German? ;) Good to see you round here.Quote:

For descending Eat Static totally rule. followed by anything on the routemaster or stay-up-forever lables. most of the tunes on www.bangintunes.com rock
how do you skin a goat
I gave up the walkman in the backcountry. Thought I needed it, but the rhythm of my skis on the snow is sufficient. Puts me in better touch with my surroundings...
Particle! (the band)
I like this girl more and more.Quote:

oh, not trance but my favorite dj sounds come from
http://www.herbaliser.com/herbaliser...iser_title.gif
the big-band/dj album "Very Mercenary" is amazing.

Just listened to this and I sure wanted to move:
Duck, you suckers.Quote:
Covered wagon medicine show
Take you to the place where the healing flows
Weak in spirit we got the juice
Wont save your soul it`ll shine your shoes
Treated king to kangaroo
Santa Fe to Timbuktu
Don`t be fooled by imitation
This is the stuff that cured a nation
We took the tube and the high plains too
Never stopped long just passing through
A drop of the laughter of the maids of France
Makes a hopeless cripple dance
It was really vile weather
When we got to tarred and feathered
You could hear the six guns sound
As they chased us out of town
In India we`re all the rave
Discovered that its great as aftershave
Dropped in the sea just off Japan
Swapped 20 bottles for an aqua-walkman
Immunity from ridicule
Improves your brains if you`re a fool
And I read in the Middle East
They traded some for a hostage release
Now if you`re bald it`ll give you hair
If you got straight trousers it`ll give you flares
Feeling up you`ll get depressed
Out of style here`s a brand new dress
It was really vile weather
When we got to tarred and feathered
You could hear the six guns sound
As they chased us out of town
The stuff we sell is just the best
Passing all consumer test
Days of heaven nights of sin
Voodoo stick and sharks fin
When all around you seems like hell
Just one sip will make you well
Multipurpose in a jar
If you ain`t ill it`ll fix your car
In days of yore for all bad feelings
Washing socks and stripping ceilings
Nowadays its used medicinally
For all known human malady
It was really vile weather
When we got to tarred and feathered
You could hear the six guns sound
As they chased us out of town
Guaranteed don`t you know
Money back?
You`ll get a no!
It`s the one and only medicine show
You bet. I'm lacking the Weissbier though :-)Quote:

Do you have the name of the song from the Collins segment?
Hehe. The Collins song is 17 Years by Cherry. The guys that mixed it changed their name after that though so they released it as Ratatat. I downloaded it from their label's site a few months ago but it's not there anymore - they put it out as a 12" instead. Cool tune, playing it now. I can mail it to you if you want it - 3MB. :)
the label: www.audiodregs.com - there are some cool downloads there.
I really dig that song. Took me quite some time to figure out the whole name change thing too. Sucks it's not there anymore.Quote:

Go on and mail it! Couldn't really figure out that website enough to find the downloads (gaper warning...) and Mr Kazaa wasn't kind enough to help me either.Quote:
