The title says it all really!

Ive gotten very into running on one spot lately (on my Cross Trainer - tying myself to a tree and runnning around it loads & loads didnt work out :D)

However im getting very bored of my music playlist (which consists of Chemical Brothers Galvanise and various bits of 90's Heavy Metal music... its better not to ask...) I was wondering what everyone else listened to - in the hope i can steal some ideas? 😉

I've got very eclectic tastes all ideas welcome 🙂

Cheers
James
 
why dont you try spotify you can just type in the artist and it will come up with it straight away , im listening to the smiths at the moment and the clash , all very good.

Hey james love the idea of running around a tree that sounds like the sort of extra excercise i can do whilst walking my dogs.:D.. i will defo ask my stepson as to the best music to train to as he has just started to get back into it at home turning my living room into a gym every afternoon...he has a particular music that gets him at it....that my hub hates (so it must be good?) but at the mo hes busy on war craft ...even 22year old still play games so i let you know tomorrow:D

please explain what is spotify we always check out stuff tho my space and you tube:confused:
 
just type in it google and it will come up download it and away you go, the free version is ok if you dont mind the odd advert , they are 2 more choices but you pay for those

listen to more chemical brothers because they are awesome 😛

am - definitely download spotify, free streaming music! it's literally the best thing since sliced bread 😉
 
its like having the worlds biggest ipod on your desktop
 
Spotify is definitely worth a download i love it!

The problem is most of the songs i like and that are already in my playlist are quite slowish - I find I need something quite up tempo (or loud anyway :D ) to run to otherwise i tend to slow down!
 
faithless? pendulam? try that , good thing with spotify is you can set up your own track list
 
cheers guys for all your help /suggestions!

Chemical Bros & Faithless ive heard of and will whack some in my playlist and see what happens!!

Never heard of pendulam? (i may be revealing how dangerously out of touch i have become) [from music or reality?, you decide.... 😛] I will test them out ta 🙂

pendulum are awesome, ive seen them live and they are even better live 🙂

Lately Ive been listening to Basement Jaxx and Paramore when exercising.
 
My running playlist is pretty much pure cheesy stuff, the playlist for my last race included:

Footloose
Don't Stop me Now (Queen)
Song 2 (Blur)
Firestarter (Prodigy)
Hey Ya (OutKast)
Keep on Running
Eye of the Tiger :D
 
Hey Anne Marie I'm great ta have got tom off work :D hurrah!
though i've gottta wait in all day for a Gas man to fit a new meter boo
hope you are well !

I've checked out Pendulum, me like! its added ta! I like Sandstorm too, but i better put that in the middle of my run, too close to the beginning or the end of my playlist and that song may be the last one i ever hear!!🙂

Katie - will check out Basement Jaxx and parmamore ta - i cant believe Basement Jaxx are still around! i remember being really into music in 6th form when they started getting famous.. 😱
that song Slam .... im struggling to put into words what i thought about the video.. i know the image of that bloke dancing is gonna stay with me forever i just havent worked out if thats a good or a bad thing yet :D

cheers
James
 
aymes - thanks 🙂 nowt wrong with a bit of queen.. i may sing along a little too loudly though... which is always very very bad for all concerned...

Prodigy is an excellent plan, im hunting for their songs as i type... well actually im not as i cant do two things at once but were i able to, I definitely would be and will be in a moment 🙂 cheers!!

Heya James , Yeah I'm great thanks 🙂 hey lucky you with time off !! Hopefully the gas man will come early so you can go out if you want. I hate waiting in for people !! I'm so impatient , if they say a time I'm clock watching.
Sandstorm is an excellent song to run to , I usually have it on my ipod about 20 mins in for when I'm getting tired and need a boost.
Eekk yes I know what you mean about Twins (Katie) video !! I'm scarred for life !! 😱
What other music do you like? we should share playlists , I've got eclectic tastes though so be warned !!
