The Runner Within

Well, I figured it was time to add a new playlist, since it’s been a while since I posted one. This one I call my Retro playlist, although, it’s mostly comprised of 80’s music with some 60’s and 70’s thrown in. I actually think that this is my preferred playlist to run to at the moment. I guess it is because a lot of these songs have dance appeal. Some of them I even dance to at the local 80’s night. Anyway, here they are in no particular order:

• The Longest Time - Bily Joel
• Bizarre Love Triangle - New Order
• Kung Fu Fighting - Bustop / Carl Douglas
• Tainted Love - Soft Cell
• Love To Hate You - Erasure
• The Final Countdown - Europe
• Things Can Only Get Better - Howard Jones
• Blue Monday - New Order
• Sussudio - Phil Collins
• Tarzan Boy - Baltimora
• Friday I’m in Love - The Cure
• You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) - Dead or Alive
• Love Shack - The B-52’s
• Panama - Van Halen
• Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane
• Poison - Bel Biv DeVoe
• Unbelieveable - EMF
• Jump Around - House of Pain
• Two Princes - Spin Doctors
• Cold as Ice - Foreigner
• Good Lovin’ - The Rascals
• Ain’t Too Proud to Beg - The Temptations
• Joy to the World - Three Dog Night
• Roadhouse Blues - The Doors
• More than a Feeling - Boston
• Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh
• (Don’t Fear) The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
• Glory Days - Bruce Springsteen
• Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
• What’s your Name? - Lynyrd Skynryd
• La Grange - ZZ Top
• Gone Daddy Gone - Violent Femmes

So, I wanted to post one last time before I hunker down and study my property book. I have a few playlists that I use when I run, so I thought I would post my general playlist to solicit comments. I also have one for oldies, dance music, strictly They Might Be Giants, and even some of the nike ones. Anyway, they are by no means perfected… and I’ll probably be adding and deleting songs fairly regularly. Anyway, here is what I have for now. The ones that are hyperlinks lead to iTunes. If you haven’t noticed by now, I’m a huge Apple fan, and I’m writing this on a mac, and I like my mac. So, anyway… here it is:

• Fly Me Away — Goldfrapp
• Doctor Jones — Aqua
• Higher Ground — Red Hot Chili Peppers
• Ooh La La — Goldfrapp
• Get Over It — Ok Go
• Suddenly I See — KT Tunstall
• Goodnight Goodnight — Hot Hot Heat
• Social — Squirt Gun
• Build Me Up Buttercup — The Goops
• Virtual Insanity — Jamiroquai
• Till the End of Time — DeVotchka
• Take Me Out — Franz Ferdinand
• Fever For the Flava — Hot Action Cop (This song… and entire album are like a guilty pleasure! :D)
• Here it Goes Again — Ok Go
• The Distance — Cake (probably on every runner’s playlist)
• Are You Gonna Be My Girl — Jet
• Hey Jealousy — Gin Blossoms
• Feel Good Inc. — Gorillaz
• A Million Ways — Ok Go
• You’re so Damn Hot — Ok Go
• I Was Wrong — Social Distortion
• Ants Marching — Dave Matthews Band
• Do You Want To — Franz Ferdinand

If anyone has any suggestions for additions, I’m always game to hear them!
