Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Yessssss! Meantime is a timeless slab of metal and mayhem.

Heard one track off the new one. It was not the same band, sorry to say. Not much growl there.

2) KMFDM - Godlike
3) Pigface - Eat ***** You Fu*king Redneck

ever go to Durty Nellie's shows? Op Ivy played there...I was a "bouncer" (hell, I knew most people at the shows - respect works better than a maglite) at Nellies and McGregors for about 3 years for the punk/HC venues.

Yeah I went to Durty Nellies a lot when I didn't feel like going downtown. I never saw any big shows there. I think it was just local college bands.

Picked it up yesterday - it's decent, there's a few good songs on there but I don't think this'll be a classic. I love Helmet to death though so I'm liking this already. But sans John Stanier, it's a little different. I'm getting a kick out of buying a Helmet album in 2004 though. Hopefully they'll tour soon and then it's on.

It's a progression from Aftertaste (I know many Helmet fans who disown that album, but I like it anyway) but it's no Meantime or Betty.

There is growl though.

As for riding songs, and this isn't the ultimate but lately it's been serving well:

Botch - Transitions from Persona to Object
Closure - KM
Guilt - Untitled #4

Last three tracks from my mix CD:

SOD: Milano Mosh
Len: Steal my Sunshine

why is this only a fixie thread?
can anyone take pity on a poor SUB-urban chicagoan, formerly really into the punk/metal scene in chicago during the 80's and 90's, who is now disguised as a middle of the road, suburban guy and really loves cycling, music and run on sentences....and burn some of these juicy tracks for winter training sessions?

Bikes: 2 fixies, 1 road, 29er in the works.

Ministry. Jesus Built my Hotrod.
Suicidal Tendancies. Subliminal.
Prodigy. Firestarter.


Several other songs have a close third.

Primus. Jerry was a race car driver. (Willy was a track bike rider.. my version).
Jay Z. 99 Problems. (It's got that BIG sound).
The Orb. Transamerican Express Highway. (long and trancy)

I'm kind of liking the new Prodigy album. But undecided.
