On the iPod: Eye of the Needle by The Art of Noise

I have a treat for you tonight. You get to see one of the routes I run. Without the nuisance of actually coming to my house, changing into running gear, heading out into the cold, and spending 50 or so minutes on the road. Your only investment is a mere 30 seconds. Think you can handle that? I think so.

I deputized Steph into being the videographer–this involved holding the digital camera steady for approximately 8 minutes and minimizing the effects of me bouncing through the occasional pothole.

Pretty cold tonight. But I was nice and toasty in my tights AND windbreaker pants, and the usual base layer, long sleeve Under Armor, sweatshirt and balaclava. Gloves had to come off, as usual, after about 3 miles. There was a crusting of pretty thick ice around the balaclava opening when I was done–the sweat from my brow freezing a few millimeters away on the fleece.

Why The Art of Noise? They were techno before techno even was.
