Olympic season is upon us and with the adrenaline pumping athletics comes the heartbeat of music behind it. As a former part-time jock, I lived my in-season life with headphones on to get amped for tournaments. So, with the need to keep energy and spirits high, is it any wonder that hardcore Canadian rockers Alexisonfire were tapped to play live at the Olympic venue?
The New York Times ran a cool interactive article featuring 5 Olympic snowboarders from different nations sharing biographical video snippets. Besides "First Trick," the one category struck a chord with us was "Riding to a Soundtrack." Though most interviewed admitted their eclectic tastes on the mountain, it was classic rock lover Shaun White that we most aligned with. Aside from his penchant for AC/DC and Iggy Pop, here's our suggestions for the Winter Olympics 2010 soundtrack:
Delirium, Motion City Soundtrack
Sugar, System of a Down
Survival of the Fittest, The LeVar BurTones
Here We Go Again Kids, 7 Seconds
Girlfriend's Ringtone, Vice Grip
We Shall Overcome, The OC Supertones
