Get Psyched Mix

"People often ask me, 'Barney, how is it that you're so psyched so much of the time?' And the answer is right here, my own personal Get Psyched Mix.

Now people often think a good mix should rise and fall but people are wrong. It should be all rise baby! Now prepare yourselves for an audio journey into the white-hot centre of adrenaline! Bam!" - Barney Stinson, How I Met Your Mother

This quote, this episode, behooves me to make my own Get Psyched Mix. Barney's actual mix (as seen on the cover of the case) is as follows:

1) I Wanna Rock -- Twisted Sister
2) You Give Love A Bad Name -- BJ (Bon Jovi)
3) Lick It Up -- KISS
4) Paradise City -- GNR (Guns & Roses)
5) Dancing With Myself -- Billy Idol
6) Rock You Like A Hurricane -- Scorpy (Scorpions)
7) Panama -- Van Halen
8) Talk Dirty To Me -- Poison
9) Thunderstruck -- AC/DC
10) Dr. Feelgood -- Crue (Motley Crue)
11) Round and Round -- Ratt

My mix, obviously, is somewhat different. I compiled a (by no means exhaustive) list of about 40 songs that get me going, narrowed it down to 23, and ordered it as best I could. This mix activity is not something I'm used to, I'm a confessed shuffle listener.

Anyway, enough build-up, this is my personal Get Psyched Mix:

1) Prelude - Pendulum

2)Requiem for a Tower, Movement 2 - Corner Stone Cues

3)Requiem for a Tower, Movement 3 - Corner Stone Cues

4)Requiem for a Tower, Movement 4 - Corner Stone Cues

5)Lift - Poets of the Fall

6)You Give Love a Bad Name - Bon Jovi

7)Harder Better Stronger Faster - Daft Punk

8)Hash Pipe - Weezer

9)Man With The Hex - The Atomic Fireballs

10)Time Is Running Out - Apollo 440

11)Throw Away Your Television - Red Hot Chili Peppers

12)Anxiety - Black Eyed Peas

13)Locking Up The Sun - Poets of the Fall

14) Jesus Walks - Kanye West

15) Long Way To Fall - Autopilot Off

16)Major Tom - I Hate Kate

17)No One Knows - Queens of the Stone Age

18)Slam - Pendulum

19)Diamonds and Guns - Transplants

20)Open Your Eyes - Goldfinger

21)To The End - My Chemical Romance

22)Out of Control - Hoobastank

I hope this inspires you to select the tracks that get you riled, stick 'em a CD and get psyched!
