You know how some songs make even the most mundane activities seem just a bit more epic?
Take my friend, Chris. His favourite gym music is the Junior Boys... he likes how their slightly dark-sounding beats make everything more sexy and mysterious. "There's lunges then there are lunges," is something he may have said in describing this phenomenon. Or I may have just made that up now.
The way Chris feels about the Junior Boys is the way I feel about Purity Ring. Even if I'm just lounging on the couch, if one of their songs comes on, it suddenly feels very urgent, like my life depends on resting on that couch, DAMMIT!
You'll hear some Purity Ring on the show today -- let me know if it spices up your chores. And let me know what songs you use to spice up your gym visits, especially if it makes it more sexy and/or mysterious!
