benjamin Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I'm sure there's probably been a post about this before. I did search and came up dry though, but I was curious what people listen to when working out/exercising/running. I was really sick of my list yesterday, so I created a new playlist. Here's what I added today. Hopefully this lasts me a couple of months. My Morning Jacket - Gideon (good to warmup with)Ok Go - Here It Goes AgainMagic Numbers - Runnin' OutTV on The Radio - Wolf Like MeSpoon - Jonathan FiskTelevision - See No EvilNew Pornographers - Mutiny, I Promise YouStellastar* - JennyTed Leo - Who Do You LoveFlaming Lips - Race For The PrizeRapture - Whoo! Alright Yeah.. Uh HuhRakes - The World Was A Mess But His Hair Was PerfectLCD - Watch The TapesFrank Black - Threshold ApprehensionDatarock - Fa-Fa-FaBrianjonestown Massacre - This Is Why You Love Me Now I primarily use these for running. Not so much weight lifting. Curious what everyone else likes to get that heart rate elevated? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froggie Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 true story.. back in late 1994, i was desperate to lose weight so i did marathon excercise bike workouts daily. i used to put the Unledded version of Gallows Pole on repeat mode from Page/Plant. during the beginning, i'd go slowly and speed up as it did - then repeat the cycle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rileykill Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I'm an avid runner (although the Texas heat has put me back to about 20 mpw at the moment) ... I generally listen to albums rather than a mix, but these have been some good ones: Ratatat ClassicsThe Avalanches Since I Left YouPink Floyd Obscured by CloudsTripping Daisy Jesus Hits Like The Atom BombSlowride Building A BuildingThe Go! Team Thunder, Lightning, Strike I tend to be ok with albums that ebb and flow. My runs are generally 4-6 miles (sometimes longer), so a slower track here and there is a good chance to let up on the pace a little. Once I got a big endorphine rush during the Daisy track "Mechanical Breakdown." That was a sweeet run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EL the Famous Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 you shouldn't be afraid to admit that. in fact, you should bust that album out and hold it w/ both hands over your head like john cusack and his boombox in say anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
