Lawn work tunes?

I'm always bumping tunes while I maintain my lawn. And I got it narrowed down to 2 favorites...

Ice-T "The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech...Just Watch What You Say"
Not even sure why really. I've been consistently bumping this album while I mow the lawn...for a long time now. Actually, it's over 50% of what I've played while mowing the lawn for the past 5 years. And actually, it may be my favorite Ice-T album because of it...also a reason why "What Ya Wanna Do?" is one of my favorite posse cuts of all time.

Big Mike "Somethin' Serious"
Same story. I guess I just like the harder shit when it comes to lawn work.

Nothing like maintaining a lawn.

I don't listen to music while working in the lawn. It kinda distracts me lol

For real Link? Even just mowing? I figured you'd have a list going...lol. You work with trees, right? Cutting them down or something? I can see how it would be distracting. I'd be scared shit-less depending on the size of the tree. lol...I don't like heights.

Hey man, kind of topic but I was thinking about your recent funk kick. Have you ever checked out Daptone Records? Great bands, Sugarman Three, Daktaris, Budos Band, and of course the Dap-Kings. A lot of it would probably be more 'soul' than funk. But, it sure is some funked out soul music.

I must agree here. I've always enjoyed it.

No I haven't. Something you'd recommend as a starting point? My funk/soul collection was so bare at first, I've only spent a lot of time/money collecting classics from pioneers so far...and a few odds and ends.

Look into Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. Dap-Dipping With The Dap-Kings is a great live album, probably the funkiest. Naturally is my favorite, though. Check them out on YouTube.

I remember reading about "I Learned the Hard Way" (have you heard it?). This sounds interesting. I like the Soul as much as the funk...you say Naturally is their best? That cover art is tight! Not sure why, but I love it...

The new one is dope. The basically don't misstep.

OK, I've been reading up on them since you posted and am ready to order an album...all are supposedly stellar according to Amazon users. Would Naturally be the best starting off point?

I ALWAYS listen to my iPod when mowing the lawn.

Yep. They record everything in analog, so if ever a time to pick up the vinyl.

Well KJ, do you have anything you like to bump particularly? Or is it just the regular?

I just ordered up Naturally. Looks like a winner....on CD though.

I don't mow my lawn. SRP mows it for me.

When i was around 12 or 13 i mowed lawns around the neighborhood, and my album of choice back then was Metallica's Load. Not sure why though.

Load? Come on man, for real? I suppose it was a pretty big album. I was one of the old school Metallica fans at the time that were yelling sellout. lol

See, I hated mainstream shit even then. lol

indeed. peaple don't seem to understand how hard it is to push a lawn mower while sitting in a power scooter. I entered my name to CMT to have those Trick My Truck fools to customize my riding mower, but they rejected me

That's because you have the only lowrider mower ever... the thing goes so low once you get on, you're just blending dirt.

My advice is to have your wife spray lard on the lawn and let you loose one weekend a month.

it wasn't a total loss though. I'm the only person who can use their mower to till their garden.

You would want Metallica's load...

Shaun knows from experience, hence why he makes this recommendation.

LMAO!!!

Either I've had one too many Vodka Arnold Plamers this evening, or you guys are pretty damn funny. lol

Their is an old man i've never met or spoken to that lives near my street and he comes over and breaks his back mowing my lawn for free while i relax inside with a beer.

I felt bad for him at the start but he does a really good job. I think he wants to fuck my girlfriend. He is either a bit crazy, lonely or a peadophile

I usually just put it on shuffle when doing yardwork.

let's spell it together kids:

A-L-C-O-H-O-L-I-C

j/ks, hey at least your not drinking Schaefer or Miller this time man!



When I do the lawn I'm normally playing Big Daddy Kane-Long Live The Kane or more recently Little Brother-The Minstrel Show (In particular the song Beautiful Morning)...like everyone else I'm not sure why these 2 albums have been chosen but they work for me!

I have no lawn, I just try not to inhale the grass if I do it for my folks.

haha nah she is 25 but he looks about 100. I think that qualifies for a peadophile?

No matter how old you get, girls in their 20s are where its at.

lol I usually reserve listening to music for more quieter (if that's a word) times of the day. I do a variety of work with trees. I cut them down and I trim them. All shapes and sizes. It's scary as shit once you start but as time progresses it just incorporates itself into your daily plans and you start thinking less of it.

I love Arnold Palmers, and Vodka is my drink of choice when it comes to intentionally passing out. So yeah it's a nice combo.

Vodka and water. After the first two its just like pounding ice water. No hangover if I avoid the smokes.
