Want to know a little more about Needles? The music a person listens to says alot about them. Whether it's getting amped for a race run, spinning it out on the trainer or just chillin in the tent post-race, the music a rider chooses is quite telling about his/her personality. Enjoy this weekly installment of Trek World Racing's "Tunes to Ride By," sponsored by JBL.

Week 1: Andrew "Needles" Neethling

Training:

Training music is usually from the newest albums I've purchased -- here's the latest from rock to hip hop:

• High Contrast: Watch the Ride
• Chase and Status: Against All Odds
• AC/DC: Black Ice
• The Bravery: The Sun and the Moon
• The Faint: Fascination
• Jay-Z: The Blueprint 3
  

Relaxing:

Relaxing is normally my time with some mates from home. Relaxing turns into a pool game, BBQ, and maybe a cheeky night out, possibly.

• David Guetta feat. Akon "Sexy Chick"
• Gym Class Heroes "Cookie Jar"
• USher feat. WILL-I-AM "What's Yr Name"
• Jeremiah "Birthday Sex"

Pre-Race:

This is where I like to keep all of my favorite all-time songs that put me in a good place. Amp me up? Yep, but not too much.

• The Bravery "Time Won't Let Me Go"
• The Bravery "An Honest Mistake"
• High Contrast "Forever and a Day"
• Gravediggaz "Unexplained"
• Billy Idol "Rebel Yell"
• Shiny Toy Gun "Rainy Monday"
• Shiny Toy Gun "You Are the One"
• Shiny Toy Gun "Le Disko"

Traveling:

When I travel, I often just put my iPod on shuffle and then if I enjoy a song, I might put that album on. I normally try to sleep in a car or plane when gettting to my race. My go-to album is usally a chilled Drum 'n Bass album put on low volume to get me to sleep.

• Dizzie Rascal "Tongue N Cheek"
• Pendulum "In Silico"
• Bloc Party "Intimacy"
• Black Tide "Light from Above"
• Swollen Members "Armed to the Teeth"
• Hilltop Hoods "State of the Art"
