Precisely One Hour of House-Cleaning Music…
New concept – don’t clean until your house is clean, instead merely allocate time to the cleaning process and clean until that time is over whether you finish or not. Also if you finish before the time is up (unlikely) then clean something better than you would normally. I started this insane cleaning regimen yesterday with a statement that I would clean in a high-impact fashion for no more and no less than precisely one hour. I created an iTunes playlist full of motivational music with the sole intention of keeping me psyched about the whole horrors of cleaning my flat. It is precisely one hour long and is called Precisely One Hour of House-Cleaning Music. It contains a fair amount of cheese, for the specific reason that it’s designed to get the heart-pounding and the mind focused on doing things (rather than being subtle or nuanced in any way) so don’t get on my case about how lame it is. The first tune is designed to set the scene and the final one to get the pace back down to useful human-levels. List follows:
- “Main Title”, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once More with Feeling
- “Because We Can”, Moulin Rouge Soundtrack
- “God Save the Queen”, Sex Pistols
- “Don’t Be Light”, Air
- “Fix Up, Look Sharp”, Dizzee Rascal
- “Baby, I’m a Star”, Prince and the Revolution
- “Live at Dominoes”, The Avalanches
- “Love Burns”, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
- “Star Guitar”, Chemical Brothers
- “Superheroes”, Daft Punk
- “Fire Up the Shoesaw”, Lionrock
- “Twist and Shout”, Backbeat Soundtrack
- “Kodachrome”, Paul Simon
- “I Fought the Law”, Green Day
- “My weakness”, Moby
Length of playlist 1 hour and zero minutes and zero seconds. Your time may vary based upon whether or not you cross-fade your songs or have inserted seconds of blank-space at the beginnings of your tracks.
