what's your wake up song?
or, if not necessarily something right after waking up, then something you listen to before leaving to work/school/whatever it is you've got to be going/need doing?
mine keeps changing a lot. currently, the first song in my ipod playlist, when i walk out of the door and leave for work:
led zeppelin: rock and roll :smth035
energizes me for the day. :D
All Cats Are Grey as an alarm for me to wake up for these years.
and I listen to before leaving to work/school/whatever it is you've got to be going/need doing now :
Muse - Starlight! (As loud as possible) :-D

that must be a nice atmospheric way to wake up, nice alarm indeed.
i need to have some sort of ugly/loud alarm, otherwise i don't notice anything and it might just lul myself back to sleep. :smth015
(waking up in the morning is not what i'm best at ;).

I guess it depends of the day. Today I played "Ceremony" by New Order and "Extreme ways" by Moby. No way you can lie on bed with those!
I generally listen to a replay of the Howard Stern show on my commute to work. I leave the house around 3:30am, so they are replaying the previous day's show at that time

Ah, and I usually listen to Howard's replacement, Adam Corolla, out here on the west coast. For actually waking up, I guess I'm pretty boring having just the sound of an alarm.
hehe that's funny I sometimes wake up to Pixies songs too, esp
"Monkey gone to heaven"
also 'Another day'- The Cure
have to drive- Amanda Palmer "we suffer mornings most of all"
I love to start the days with almost any tune by of Montreal. Du og Meg is one I particullary likes that time of day.

the same for me. i don't wake up at all unless there's some ugly annoying and loud alarm that leaves me no choice.
perhaps the thread subject would be better to be called "your morning energizer song" or something. that's what i sort of meant, what makes you really wake up
after you've already woken up.

The Gentrys - Keep On Dancing
Toyah - Brave New World
Tahiti - Charge You Up (from ''Real Ghostbusters'')

Thank you japanesebaby for post quote of my post :smth007 those songs are really great in the morning! :smth023
But my December song for some reason were a trance hit :shock: : Deadmau5 - Ghosts N Stuff (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-HKheGzAOo)
January its: Neon Stereo Ft. Marcie - Love From Nothing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQLu1ZR0xp0)
Em, I don't know whats happening to me, but it seems I'm in love with trance/house music since a while ago :shock: too strange... I never get accustomed to it as never rated it as an sort of 'good music'... :?
Story begins from Depeche Mode's Playing The Angel album and singles. I remember how I bought Lilian single and there was a song mixed by Paul Van Dyk (?) and it was amazing! I bought all singles from this album and was shocked how far Trance/House music is. It was a really big surprise for me! :P But then I stopped listening...
Then some time ago after i watched movie 'Its All Gone Pete Tong' I decided to start downloading Pete Tong's BBC Radio Sessions & Essentials. It was a great astonishment to discover absolutely new genre for ME! ouh guys I've taken a seat on it. Then in Summer I heard in one of Pete's Essentials song by Deadmau5 'Hi Friend!'. From that moment I don't stop listen to trance/house :smth023
'IN NEW MUSIC WE TRUST'
Doing the unstuck!!! (WISH) :smth023 :smth048
Shake Dog Shake - It really wakes you up.
I alternate between that and Soft Cell - Sex Dwarf. :smth048 I don't know why?
It used to be Faith but it made me want to go back to bed so i had to change it.
and for all these weeks...
Belle And Sebastian - Expectations
sort of fitting... RATM - wake up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUfaJ8RqfOg&fmt=18)
i'm a complete freaking zombie these days, it's getting more and more difficult to find music that would wake me up in the morning and get me going anymore.
i really need some proper holidays and fast...
close to me :-D
no matter what foul, hideous mood i am in, close to me always makes me happy and ready to kiss! :P

As of late, my "morning energizer song" has been 'The Problem' by The Prids. :rocker :rocker :rocker :rocker :rocker
Check it out (and then buy some of their music). http://www.rhapsody.com/the-prids
Along with The Problem, The Glow, Contact, Back Up Slow, and Let It Go are all on my drive to work playlist. Excellent early morning, drinking coffee, weaving through traffic, avoiding cops on the way to work tunes.
Mine are:
Sarah McLachlan - Vox (Remix)
Eminem - Business
Bat For Lashes - Glass
Lisa Germano - Bad Attitude
All Cats Are Grey..still!
i prefer something that is a little slower and quieter in the morning as well. otherwise i would be mad every time i wake up. right now it's songs like underneath the stars, a strange day or plainsong.
i am not really awake until i ate breakfast anyway :)
Doing the unstuck. :D

Haha! Cool, actually, I do listen to them to help calm down/relax before bed, too! I don't know, they're just helpful either way to me; to energize me to get up, and to relax me to sleep.
