I wrote about the music I listen to while running a while ago, but the tracks have changed someone, so I’ll write about the additions and rewrite about some of the old ones. Not in any order.

Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Has taken the place of Under the Bridge as my starting song. It’s not too fast, but had a steady beat that is appropriate for warming up.
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony - This was on a nike commerical a while back, and I thing it’s generally a good song, but when I listened to it during my last run, it was too slow and just made me feel tired rather than strong. Maybe I’ll try the Moby remix again, that’s much faster.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can’t Stop - I’m not going to write about the other RHCP songs I have on the list, but this one stands out because it’s still always the second song I listen to, with a very strong beat to tell me that the warmup is over and it’s time to start moving.
Goldfinger - 99 Red Baloons - This one I added a while back (not sure why it’s not on the old list) and has a good beat so it’s going to stick around.
Squirrel Nut Zippers - Flight of Passing Fancy - This one is a bit too slow, but it’s close to being very good. For slower runs this is a fun song to listen to.
Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass - My favorite Bloc Party song happens to be the best for running so far. The drum beat is awesome and the pace is perfect. I also like Helicopter and Positive Tension for the same reasons.
Radiohead - Electioneering - There’s nothing like some cowbell while you’re running, and Electioneering doesn’t disappoint.
Air - Alpha Beta Gaga - This one is ok for later portions of long, slow runs, but is too slow for anything else. Might be dangerously catchy, too.
The Postal Service - Brand New Colony - This one is slightly too slow, so I’m not going to try again. It’s a good song, though.
The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight - Though this song is slower than Brand New Colony, it actually doesn’t cause a problem. My reasoning is this: if the beat of the song is slightly slower than the running rhythm, I tend to slow my pace to match the music vaguely. If the rates aren’t at all close, there’s no danger of that. This doesn’t eliminate the risk of soporific music sapping my energy, but in some cases this works fine. Same thing with Snow Patrol - Somewhere a Clock is Ticking and others.

If anyone else runs with music, I’d be curious what you listen to. Thanks to everyone who has suggested music of all types to me, much of these I didn’t have a week ago, most I didn’t have a year ago. I’ll eventually write more about music in a more general sense… I promise (maybe).
