I know the ipod-shuffle era has gotten people away from the practice of listening to entire albums...but I'm a purist...I stick with an album for a run.  And I like something a little upbeat.

Yesterday it was Weezer's "make believe"

Favorites over the past couple of weeks include:

The stroke's "first impressions of earth" (they're my guilty pleasure)

Bloc Party's "Silent Alarm"

Amadou et Mariam's "dimanche a bamako"

Anybody got some good ones?

Oh no! You run with your ipod? Don't you know that's dangerous! How can you hear if someone is heading toward you in a speeding automobile, or if they're drunk or something?

I've got one song from that Amadou and Mariam album (Senegal Fast Food) and love it. Is the whole album that good? I wasn't really sure if I'd like the whole album...

I like Talking Heads "Remain in Light" for upbeat treadmill music.

 Luckily, I run on a dirt path where the only thing I've got to worry about running into me are the other runners that are cruising by me...oh, and I run in a large inflatable plastic bubble so I'm pretty much invincible.

And Kim...yes the Amadou et Mariam album is great all the way through.  Most of the songs aren't as lively as "senagal fast food" but they are all really good.  I recommend it.

Radiohead- Hail to the Thief

Pavement- Slanted and Enchanted

Modest Mouse- The Lonesome Crowded West

The Flaming Lips- Clouds Taste Metallic

Pixies- Come On Pilgrim, Surfa Rosa, Doolittle

I could listen to any of these straight through when running, but in reality I usually just make up playlists for my nano. I do usually stick to the same band for a run, but I'll make up a best of their music ahead of time.

Why are the Strokes a guilty pleasure? I think they are pretty good really. I run to their new album all the time.

Last weekend it was Cross Canadian Ragweed - Live at Billy Bobs
Yesterday I went old school and ran to the refreshments - fizzy fuzzy big and buzzy. I haden't listened to that in a few years but I loved it in high school.
