      I've kept YouTube busy sampling a few from above - but Disturbed had me jumping out of my skin because it came on so loud! LOL


      My current favourites to keep me going on the treadmill are:

      Sometime Around Midnight - The Airborne Toxic Event
      Rebellion - The Arcade Fire (most of their songs are ideal to be honest)
      Silent Alarm (album) - Bloc Party
      Born Slippy - Underworld
      Lazy Eye - Silversun Pickups
      Short Skirt/Long Jacket - Cake (never fails to make me smile)
      I'd Rather Dance With You - Kings Of Convenience
      Young Folks - Peter Bjorn & John

      Warm up or Cool down
      Ocean of Noise - Calexico (every bit as good as the Arcade Fire original but very different)
      Paradise Circus - Massive Attack
      Brighter Than Sunshine - Aqualung
      The Love Cats - The Cure

      This may sound sooo weird but it's Bloody Mary by Lady Gaga. I don't know why, but the beat in that song is sexual to me and I get totally lost in it, no idea what I'm doing. I seriously cannot listen to it when I drive.

      It's a mashup by DJ Maxentropy called "I Can't Push It." It's got that final deep bossy beat that makes me dig in.

      By the way... there's a website called JogFm that will give you suggested playlists based on the speed you walk or run.

      It wasn't planned but I was doing cardio when Eye of the Tiger came on shuffle on my iPod. It was just like saying "go ahead, I dare you to stop!" Can't do it.

      This, as well as Dog Days Are Over - Florence and the Machine and lots of stuff by Kei$ha, Rihanna, or Gaga. Funny but I ONLY listen to this kind of music when I'm working out - I hate it otherwise! LOL
