Cowbell Bebop
This evening I went through my iTunes trying to figure out my running playlist for the month. For me to actually enjoy running, I have to have a fairly well thought out playlist of songs. I have found that it has been one of the keys to my Nike+ success. After a while, songs that once got me pumped up end up having a less potent effect on me. I am constantly perusing the web and iTunes Essentials for ideas on what to download and use. It’s getting more and more challenging to find something, because as I mentioned, I’m not so much into new music anymore.
I recently discovered one track that I had in my iTunes for about 3 years. It was quite a pleasant surprise, because it was something that I had put together in GarageBand back when I was learning how to use it. I have absolutely no sense or understanding of how to compose music, and so this result is just a testament to how awesome GarageBand is. I call the track “Cowbell Bebop” because of the use of the one Cowbell loop in GarageBand (and yes, they are ALL loops in this 1 minute “song.”)
Just thought I’d share. I’ve never made another one since. I’d say it’s a pretty good fluke, considering it makes for one effective Nike+ power song…for now.
