One of my Christmas gifts this year was a record player and the first album I listened to on this turn table was Elton John's Greatest Hits. The sound that comes from vinyl is amazing, it simply can not be replicated on a digital device like an iPhone. One of my resolutions this year is to learn to enjoy music again. The day I got certified to teach indoor cycling I started putting all music in two categories; Can I ride to this song or not? Music that I felt could not be used in an indoor cycling class was simply deleted.
There's too much great music out there to go through life not really enjoying it. So I have that turntable set up in my office and when I'm ready to listen and enjoy some music, I pull a record out of my new collection of vinyl, place it on the turn table, watch it spin for a little bit, place the needle on the edge and just let the music play. It's incredibly liberating to enjoy the beauty and artistry of some of the greatest song writers and musician again.
An interesting thing happened while listening to albums in their entirety, I'm still finding songs that will work in my classes, here's a Power of 3 mix from one of my favorite artists, Elton John.
- Philadelphia Freedom by Elton John
- Saturday Night by Elton John
- Love Lies Bleeding by Elton John
