Tune in Tuesdays



This weekly meme is hosted by Ginger at GReads and is meant to showcase another passion: music. Each week you can post an old or new song so that it gains more interest or is discovered by new ears. So let's help Ginger spread our love of music. Oh and don't forget to submit a link to your post over on Ginger’s site by clicking on the banner.



When I'm in a particularly aggressive mood or want to stop myself from physically assaulting someone (this doesn't happen often I promise) I like to throw on some hard hitting rock or metal.  I find that it hits the spot and helps me calm down.  Odd, I know but, it works.  Here are some of my favorites for this type of occasion.



Walk by Pantera


Breathe Into Me by Red


Burn by Three Days Grace

Great picks!

Ginger @ GReads! said...

Burn by Three Days Grace - definitely! and I totally understand your need to want to punch someone. It's completely natural, I promise :-) lol

Jen D. @ Not Now...I'm Reading! said...

@Juju - Thanks!

@Ginger - LOL! Phew! I'm glad I'm not alone. ;-)

I listen to this type of music for the same reason or when I'm on the elliptical machine and need to get over that damn hill!
Oddly I can't listen to it casually - it gives me a headache. lol
Great picks

Jen D. @ Not Now...I'm Reading! said...

@Karen - LOL! It's definitely good 'get over that damn hill' music. I know what you mean about listening to it casually. I can get away with a song or two but, anything after that I need to switch to something else.

Jen said...

While I'm a Metallica girl myself, I do appreciate me some Three Days Grace. Whatever they do is good :)

Great picks, Jen!

Jen D. @ Not Now...I'm Reading! said...

@Jen - Since featured Metallica last week I figured I'd go with some other bands. Thanks roomie!

Katelyn said...

I am a pretty nice person but even I have moments every day where I want to punch the daylights out of people. These songs aren't my favorite but I totally understand the need for them sometimes. Three Days Grace is always a great go-to band!

Your choices are also great when you need that extra motivation halfway through a work-out!

Jen D. @ Not Now...I'm Reading! said...

@Katelyn - LOL! Thanks for understanding the need to punch the daylights out of people. ;-)

@Randomizeme - Thanks! So true. I probably shouldn't said that instead of the whole beating people up thing.

Anne said...

I really like Three Days Grace- Burn is a good one!

Jennifer said...

Not what I usually listen to but it is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best music for when everyone/everything is getting on your nerves. Two thumbs up! :)

Jen D. @ Not Now...I'm Reading! said...

@Anne - Burn is one of my faves.

@Jennifer - Thanks for the thumbs up!

Alex (A Girl, Books, OtherThings) said...

Oh, great picks!
Not what I usually listen to but I liked them just now. I guess I was in the mood :D

Jen D. @ Not Now...I'm Reading! said...

@Alex - Thanks! Oh, oh...either it was that kind of day or you were trying make it through a workout. ;-)

Neri said...

Love this! I feel you on the wanting to punch someone in the face lol. (especially in Miami traffic) No but really if I have a stressed out day at work my go to music is Linkin Park it helps :)

Jen D. @ Not Now...I'm Reading! said...

@Neri - OMG yes! I hate me some Miami traffic. It's like every state sends all their idiots down here to roam free. Ugh! Linkin Park is an excellent choice.

Julie said...

Three Days Grace is one of my most fave bands. I'm happy you included them. Woot! When I'm in the kind of mood you are, I like listening to Faint by Linkin Park. Works really well. :)

Jen D. @ Not Now...I'm Reading! said...

@Julie - TDG is one of my faves too. Linkin Park is an excellent choice as well.
