Hey all - I was a radio DJ back in college... I know how music can make or break a workout. Here's some of my current favorites on heavy rotation on my "gymin' it" playlist. I'm not saying all of these are lyrically great, or that they will suite everyones tastes but they all have a good beat. ;) Share your list! I need to find some new tunes.

ARTIST PLAYLIST

The Rapture - Whoo! Alright Yeah... Uh huh
The Rumble Strips - Hands
(starts up slow and then kicks into high gear toward the end, really good for the elliptical. anything by the rumble strips will do!)
M.I.A. - Paper Plan or Sunshowers
YACHT - See a penny
Electric Six - Danger High Voltage
Datarock - Fa-Fa-Fa
Brazilian Girls - Dont Stop
Das Racist - You Oughta Know
sh*tdisco - I know Kung Fu
Mos Def - Quiet Dog

    Are you going to be my girl by Jet

    I suppose if your running La Vida Loca on the treadmill then Rick martin is appropriate... but only in that case. :P

    iuangina - I love me some passion pit too. Electric Six is always a keeper :)
