  4 0 Primal Scream's "XTRMNTR". The whole album seems custom made specifically to run your ass off to. There's even a cool down song right when you need it ("Keep Your Dreams").  Red Yeti answered in Arts & Music over 3 years ago | Report 2 comments by Red Yeti and cosby… 0 0 I just saw your note about not liking electronic music... XTRMNTR definitely falls into that category, however, it's also got an awesomely heavy & pissed off rock n roll sound. Possibly enough to make you not care that it's electronic? Red Yeti commented over 3 years ago | Report 0 0 It also has really abrasive guitar textures. I think those elements make this more of a "rock music album" than an "electronic music album". An album like 'Evil Heat' would be a little harder to pin down - but 'XTRMNTR' shouldn't sour rock fans. cosby commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  2 0 Whatever your high school comfort food was, especially if you have albums that you loved front-to-back. You'll follow along with the songs, passively sing along to them, and find time melting away as a result. That's more useful than getting "pumped" with music when you're dealing with monotonous, long-distance cardio.

  2 1 I must not think while jogging, I must be totally distracted my the underlying primal beat of the music. It must motivate me. So, I suppose it really depends on what your motivation is. I like songs that start out with a definite beat and then work into something more complex. Oh say "In da club" or the Engineer's Anti-gravity remix of "Blue Light." OR if you're on a machine...you can read! I discovered the elliptical + suspense books = the best workout ever! You can channel your natural adrenaline of excitement/terror into a better workout. (Sorry - tangent!) Also, soundtracks. Pick an action, suspense or moody movie and you can probably come up with a good handful of songs if not an entire album. The Matrix Soundtrack? Excellent. Sadly, the pop pseudo rap of the 90s like The Real McCoy are amusingly distracting and upbeat. Snaps's Ryhthm is a Dancer, anyone? haha Renée answered in Arts & Music over 3 years ago | Report 1 comment by t Dizzle… 0 0 I heart renee! t Dizzle commented over 3 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Episodes of This American Life are amazing for running (although they have very little music). The story lines take my focus off of going no where on the treadmill.

  1 0 Muse does it for me! Especially the album "Origin of Symmetry" Muse songs usually have a good beat without being too electronic. bobert answered in Arts & Music over 3 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 i guess it's kind of sometimes electronic - but i love running to Girl Talk. Night Ripper is their latest. It's great for those of us who get bored while exercising. slackerina answered in Arts & Music over 3 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Why don't you try it without any music at all? I don't run very well when I'm not paying attention to the actual running--I get more out of my runs when I have to pay closer attention to myself, and it lets me think more clearly, too.

  0 0 I've discovered that for me, music while I'm running really doesn't cut it. It's too easy to stop thinking about the music and focus on how much my lungs hurt, how tired my legs are, how much longer I have to go, etc. I've been listening to podcasts and while the first mile still sucks, the rest of the run is pretty enjoyable. The trick for me is to pick something that I can lose my head in so I'm not thinking about running anymore. Audiobooks can also be really good.

  0 0 Justice's newest album is usually what I play when I'm at the gym. It helps me keep a good pace when I'm on the treadmill, and the tempo changes from song-to-song help me push myself a bit harder.

  0 0 Ever since the invention of the bicycle, I don't run anymore, but I recall listening to a lot of At the Drive-in when I did. Currently, my favorite biking music is probably the new Whitest Boy Alive album, though - groovy enough to pump you up, but also groovy enough so that you feel like you look sexy while you're sweaty and disgusting. murray chataqua answered in Arts & Music over 3 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
