Ever need to knock out a rough day on the job, a brutal workout, an intense study session, or a late night of coding? I find that the best way to get shit done, when you really have to bring every ounce of grit, guts and brains to the table, is to have the right soundtrack. That’s why I’m putting together The Macho Mix. I’ll be curating a playlist 15-20 tracks of hard-hitting punk and metal expertly designed to help you get through the rough stuff.

But I can’t do it alone, I need your help. If you have a favorite song that helps you power through a long day like a hot chainsaw through butter, email me with a link to it on YouTube, Grooveshark, Spotify or Rdio. I’ll post it here with a fancy-ass album cover design. To keep the playlist cohesive, I’m asking only for good punk and metal this time. Future “Design A Playlist” posts may be more eclectic. Thanks to my lovely wife Krista for the idea and to you for contributing.
