I found myself exercising to Haste the Day the other day and I found this quite concerning. For those of you who don't know they are a Christian hardcore bands and much of the music is straight screaming. They are also a favourite band of an ex and I was listening to try and see what he saw. I did found a few I like (mainly the ones with the least amount of screaming possible) but for the most part they were not my favourite. Time to move on I think. Time to listen to what I like. So came home and I upgraded my playlist. They have been added onto my trusty iPod shuffle which is a the perfect size for clipping onto my running pants and holds just enough music to make it interesting. Now I wish I could tell you I bought unheard of but super cool bands that are funky and super cool and the new big thing so I can say in 12 months "Oh I heard of them first". But I can't. I'm always a bit behind with music and only like things once they are half bashed to death by the radio. So I bought songs from Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, BoB etc. I'm a sell out really, but I guess I was already sold out.
But on the bright side all the songs I bought have a wicked running beat which will power me through many tough stairs and make me into super woman.
Oh and if anyone has any great songs that you think I'll love and are good to run to, please let me know, I'm not too picky
Since I never run, I wouldn't know the first thing about what makes a good running song, but here are some awesome songs in general:
ReplyDeletePhoenix - Too Young
Mika - We Are Golden
Hanson - Lost Without Each Other
Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone Is Not Enough
