But here's the thing. For both the workout and the run, I tend to rely heavily on music to get my ass moving. It can be something contemplative to listen to as I'm running past the Toronto cityscape or something incredibly fast paced that helps get my heart pounding quicker.

So the question is: Do you folks have any preferences or suggestions for exercise music? Songs, albums, mixes...whatever! I know I certainly wouldn't mind adding something new in to my playlist and you probably won't either.

Lately what's been getting me moving is this 90s dance mix that I think tacopunch added in the Wedding Music thread.

Same here. I go runnin' very often, but it does only work with music. Normally I'll go for something fast, straight forward but still somehow entertainive. If I don't feel like Municipal Waste or Napalm Death it may even be a silly Eurodance Trash-Mix with 2 Unlimited and Scooter once a year. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=197312#Comment_197312 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=197312#Comment_197312 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:39:15 -0700 Davies0010 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=197314#Comment_197314 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=197314#Comment_197314 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:58:53 -0700 mekon

Clutch - Strange Cousins From The West. Nicely driving blues rock riffs here, so it's good for finding my groove.

The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute. Specifically, track five onwards. Lots of nice, open space-y bits that segue back into some good old fashioned freak out moments - the musical equivalent of an occaisional electric shock to spur me on.

Flat Earth Society - Psychoscout. Moody, brooding jazz for the most part, but again it cuts loose often enough to give me that extra boost occaisionaly.

Super Furry Animals - Love Kraft. I love the autumnal feel of this album, so it's great for those misty evenings when the sun is just setting over the sea.

The same goes for Neil Young's After The Gold Rush. Plus, the steel guitar bit from the end of 'Southern Man' is great for when I'm starting to, ahem, "hit the wall". ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=197418#Comment_197418 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=197418#Comment_197418 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:09:38 -0700 Kernowdrunk

as well as a little history on the theme of each week. Any of those would do for a nice workout. The themes vary a lot from week to week. There's a Philly soul mix a few weeks back that has been getting a lot of play.

Mr. Ries did a banger of a workout mix pulling from miami bass, juke, and gettotech
Mister Ries Summer Workout Mix

I don't know how these would work for tempo but I also really enjoy the electronic explorations series
Electronic Explorations
It swings from 180+bpm breakbeat music to dubstep depending on the artist profiled but each one is a killer.

There's also Kid606s series of uptempo, pop friendly mixes, over at his soundcloud

Hope that gets you off to a start. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=199333#Comment_199333 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=199333#Comment_199333 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:20:47 -0800 Exploder http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=199369#Comment_199369 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=199369#Comment_199369 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 03:46:52 -0800 St.Wanger http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=199425#Comment_199425 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=199425#Comment_199425 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:02:07 -0800 McLean

I've often contemplated some sort of rig where I remove a laptop's battery, and hook it up to some kind of windup powersupply or genny that would be powered by the cycle. So I literally could only have Internet, music and what not while I was actually pedaling the cycle.

If somebody's already invented this, I'd be all over it. It seems really odd when I think about it to be pedalling a stationary bike, burning off calories, at the same time I'm charging a device from the wall. The one thing should be able to do the other. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=202641#Comment_202641 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7080&Focus=202641#Comment_202641 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 13:53:16 -0800 JeffZero
