Tripping over another Tuesday and today, we do it with style.  We start by discussing your favorite workout song, the song you need to get the extra mile, weight, or push to hit the max.  Next is a quick history tour of the American Diner; you will want a greasy breakfast or some fries by the end.  Sound Check goes into Word Check, Dave Grohl posts a love letter to fans, and we take The Last Drag after another long day.

What's your go-to workout song?  When my spouse began training for a race years ago, one of her favorite songs was Lose Yourself by Eminem.  Years later, when I started to teach an indoor cycle/spin class, that song became a big part of the class program.  When you are working out, and especially if you are an instructor putting together a playlist for a group exercise class, you want a combination of all-time favorites mixed in with high-energy beats to keep everyone moving.  As part wedding DJ, you must consider many different ages and song variety.  Then you have to add some of your personality into the tracks to motivate you and mix with the class.  Music can make or break a class, especially where you put the "bangers."

A banger is your go-to, everybody on the dance floor, everybody up song.  Here are a few I've used in the past:

A product website in the UK called Heul has an article on the science behind great music and working out.  One of the concepts they talk about is exercise consciousness.  This process helps your brain tell your body where to find that hidden source of energy to get through a challenging workout.  Or it tells you it doesn't hurt as much as it does.  That's what all great music does; it takes you to a better place; even when you are already in a good place working out, it can help you get an even better workout.

If someone said American Diner, what image would you have in your head?  Something with chrome, almost a bumper-looking, and really a train car-looking thing.  Architectural Digest brings us this video on where the American Diner came from.  No surprise, it came from the train car, and in fact, in some places, they took the train car off the rails and put it on a platform.  Makes us want to order some burgers and fries.  Keep watching the video for the changing look of the American Diner over the years.  Googie Style will be in your vocabulary forever.

In minute 5, Michael Wyetzner talks about the iconic Vegas sign.
