for workout, my favorite is "pump it" by the black eyed peas.
Lately I've been listening to these bands while I sweat: The Killers, Black Eyed Peas, The Bravery & Vampire Weekend.
Great post! Ani diFranco is beautiful. I love her song hypnotize the best!

wonderful post! music can really affect the way we work, play and relax. and exercise! great list of songs to work out to. i like "love love love" by tristan prettyman. it starts out like it's a cool down song, but it's a nice easy workout song.
Oh perfect timing for this post! I just bought new runners, and on my way out I saw that little gadget. I was thinking of exchanging for the nikes so I could use it, but maybe I'll just get the clip!
"Sit down, Stand up" from Radioheads hail to the theif is perfect for the first song when begining a cycling workout because it starts so calm and just starts going crazy nuts.
Listening to Lykke Li as I write this...thank you for the introduction..I'll be sure to pass it along to the hubby--he loves new music. I need to be more motivated to workout--maybe downloading a few tunes on this playlist will help? I know we already have a few already...
