So, I was talking to Tracy, a lady I "work" with over at our local paper/newsletter/general gongshow about her need for new running music. And, as you know, I'm never one to turn down a challenge, especially one involving a playlist; I got right on that jazz! I tried to pick from mostly my newer stuff... What do YOU run/fight/make out to? Image from here.
Tracy's Runnin' Mix:
So Insane, Lil' Precious
Crown of Age, the Ettes
The Impression That I Get (Live), the Mighty Mighty Bosstones (I'm sensing a SERIOUS nineties revival across the board lately. And I'm ok with that! lol!)
Chillin' ft. Lady Gaga, Wale
Dollhouse, Priscilla Renea
(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To, Weezer
Revolver ft. Lil Wayne, Madonna
Body Language ft. T-Pain, Jesse McCartney
Evacuate the Dancefloor, Cascada (a definite contender for WORST styled video. Honestly. It's BAD.)
Numb/Encore, Jay-Z & Linkin Park
Sexy Bitch ft. Akon, David Guetta (SO chauvinist, and pretty gross, but it sure gets me moving... meh, you can't win 'em all.)
High Heels, Lola
Brand New Day, Ryan Star (the theme song to Lie to Me)
Body Body, Massari (remix of PUSH IT?! EFF YEAH! Makes me laugh SO hard!)
I Gotta Feeling (Laidback Luke remix), Black Eyed Peas
Touch It/Technologic, Daft Punk (Live. Pretty dope.)
Enjoy the Silence, Anberlin (Yeah, I'm pretty much a sucker for ANY version of this song, but a "punk" remix will pretty much get me any time.)
Animal I Have Become, Three Days Grace (I'm SO sad that he got rid of the mohawk in favor of emo hair... isn't there a shortage on black hair dye yet?)
How 'Bout You, Eric Church (what? Sometimes you need a little banjo!)
Heads Will Roll, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (I think the band name says it all, yeah?)
Sweet Temptation, Lillix
Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lyin' From You, Jay-Z & Linkin Park (favorite song intro, um, ever?)
Bodies, Robbie Williams Heavy Cross, Gossip (Beth Ditto's voice is A. MA. Zing. Yup.)
Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Marvin Gaye
Hey, Mitchell Musso
Saviour, Rise Against
Shooting Star ft. LMFAO, Pitbull, & Kevin Rudolf, David Rush
Hound Dog, Nadja (SING it, girl!)
Take Me Dancing, Meaghan Smith (cuz sometimes you don't always need your music RIGHT in your face.)
Shake My, Three 6 Mafia (cuz sometimes you DO want your music in your face!)
Outta Here, Esmee Denters
Gold Digger, Kanye West & Jamie Foxx
Off That ft. Drake, Jay-Z
Halo/Walking on Sunshine, Glee (but only if you promise not to take "vitamin D" to keep up!)
Kiss With a Fist, Florence + the Machines (my FAVE lyrics lately! Also, AWESOME video!)
Mayhem Take Me Away (Logan de Gaulle remix), Tyrese
and let's leave off on a kick ass note with:
99 Problems/Points of Authority, Jay-Z & Linkin Park (you have NEVER seen anything lamer than my white-girl self "rapping" along, word for word with Hov', while making cookies for the preschool. Cuz' I'm gangsta.)
Crown of Age, the Ettes
