Music, The Surrogates, Bruce Willis

By Brian On December 17, 2008 · 30 Comments · In Bruce Willis, Health, Movies, Music

(This pic is from The Surrogates, which is “Bruce Willis + sci-fi”. I automatically see that without any other info.)

For some reason I’ve gotten 13 emails today asking me what I listen to when I work out.

Rather than answer all 13 of these, I thought I’d just reprint a few of them, and then answer the question outright.

Here’s the first one:

Hey Brian,
You seem like a real tough man. What kind of music do you listen to when you lift weights?

Here’s another:

Hi Brian,
What sort of music do you listen to when you do your important weight lifting? I want to be a tough man like you.

A third:

Hello Brian,
You as a tough man, music, weight lifting. Please connect these three items for me.

Well, this is certainly the query of the day.

In order, here’s everything I’ve listened to over the past 4 days at the gym.

Pssh, if I found out about it from Deadspin, it’s a Deadspin reference. That’s why if I hear anyone talking about how bad Twilight is, I’m all like “Oh, is that a Mad Props to Baked Potatoes reference?”
