umm, this one is short and sweet. jpgarland posted something about running to the soundtrack of endurance (disney movie about haile geb... see it if you haven't!) so i got the idea of putting together a bunch of movie sountracks. only 40 minutes... mostly good movies, some cheesy ones, but good, mostly orchestral, music throughout. (hey, by the way, this is an olympic year... this will help get you in the mood...)

emcee, how does this work? should I be able to upload your mixes directly to my ipod? I haven't uploaded any of them. Is there a list of all your mixes and what's on them somewhere?

sound, you should be able to right-click on the mp3 link, select "Save Target As" and download the file to your computer. with an ipod i think you have to import the file into itunes and download to your ipod, with an mp3 player you can just copy the file directly to your external device (when you attach your mp3 player to your pc). 
mustang sally has been wonderful enough to put up a set of links to the other mixes on the coolrunningboomers pbwiki page.

No Forrest Gump soundtrack? 
Thanks mcsolar, this should be great!

mcsolar99 · Jan 10, 2008

ilene, run forest run was the last track that i cut. didn't fit; or rather "good to go" provided a better segue between chariots and ben hur. 
it is a beautiful piece, and who can forget that scene with his leg braces flying off? gives me shivers just thinking about it. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I was hoping there was some MC Solaar in here! <img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif"> 
(I still play the Hijo de Africa song in my class that you shared with me a while back!!)

rochrunner · Jan 10, 2008

Now that looks like my kind of playlist! I'm downloading it right now and will try it on my Friday run. Thanks, MC!

solarmix4 here: <a href="http://coolrunningboomers.pbwiki.com/Mixes" target="_blank">http://coolrunningboomers.pbwiki.com/Mixes</a> 
is about 70 minutes with my favorite mc solaar tracks. i made it before his most recent cd came out though, so it doesn't have anything from chapitre 7. 
if your class can translate all the lyrics, i'd love to see them...<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

maccabeth · Jan 10, 2008

Sweet! Thanks! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> Not sure they're up for translating quite yet, though. Just first year French!

Thanks MC!!

Laura in Houston · Jan 11, 2008

Wow - this is gonna be great! I can't wait to run tomorrow! Thanks, MC!

Mustang Sally · Jan 12, 2008

I've updated the wiki...

Labduck · Jan 12, 2008

Wouldn't it be great if next we got solarmix2, Part Deux? 
I'm just sayin'...<img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif"> (note: my first ever use of the banana!)

thanks mcsolar!

OrangeMat · Jan 13, 2008

Been playing catch up here, just downloaded pretty much all the mixes, and I'm SOOOO looking forward to having new tunes to listen to! I must admit, a number of the tracks (OK, entire mixes) really aren't my style of music, but I figured I'd try them anyway, never know what might inspire me, especially if I don't know what song is coming next. So thanks so much, mcsolar and DaveinAA!

I'm having a lot of fun with these! Thanks!
