Just what kind of music does Tracey run to during all those miles on the treadmill? Well, I'm willing to share (even the embarrassing tracks) because it's late and I'm bored and thinking about what I might listen to tomorrow morning. So here's a little taste (in no particular order):
1. "Soul Meets Body" Death Cab for Cutie
2. "Since You've Been Gone" Kelly Clarkson (Laugh all you want- it's darn catchy.)
3. "Army of Me" and "Big Time Sensuality" Bjork (Most Bjork songs are good for running if you ask me.)
4."Dress", "Long Snake Moan" or "50 Foot Queenie" PJ Harvey
5. "Sweet Dreams" or "Missionary Man" The Eurythmics (ok, just anything by the Eurythmics)
6. "Candyman" Christina Aguilera (I know, I know...)
7."Welcome to the Jungle" Guns N Roses (Some things never change.)
8. "16 Military Wives" The Decemberists
9. "Intervention" The Arcade Fire (Maybe not the best running song but I love this band right now.)
10. "Send Me an Angel" Real Life (I don't even remember how I ended up with this song in my iTunes library?)
11. "She-Bop", "I Drove All Night" or "The Goonies Theme" Cyndi Lauper (I will love Cyndi Lauper forever and you can't stop me.)
12. "The Laws Have Changed" The New Pornographers
13. Most songs off of the Pixies "Doolittle" album
There also may be some Chris Daughtry (from American Idol) on my iPod. The fifteen-year-old me totally hates me now and thinks I'm fantastically lame. (Of course I think the fifteen-year-old me is pretty lame too so there.)
I'd like to find some more rock music to run to but I'm an indie rock girl and most of that is terribly unsuited for running. I also think I need more old school Madonna in my life. Thoughts? Suggestions?
EDITED TO ADD: I was just thinking, why am I not running to some upbeat Tori Amos already? Sometimes I make no sense.

I've found house music appropriate for running. Plus Kylie Minogue. Can run to the beat.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about those two Bjork songs being great for exercising!
ReplyDeleteI like to listen to some of the faster Interpol stuff when I am exercising--Slow Hands and Say Hello to the Angels get me pumped to set records! :)
Re: Tori: I tried it last week, and I have all of her albums on the iPod thanks to you, and none of them really worked for me.
ReplyDelete"Intervention"? Totally awesome for singing at the top of your lungs as you bike by tourists on the lakefront.
