I’ve been walking home from work the last couple months. It’s about 1.6 miles and takes me roughly 40-50 minutes, so I’ve set up a playlist of fairly up-tempo music, for the most part, to keep me groovin’ while I’m walkin’. I don’t really like repetition though, so what do you think I should add, based on my current tastes? On my playlist now are the following songs: Dracula’s Wedding (ft Kelis) 2:33 André 3000 Tangled Up In Blue 5:43 Bob Dylan The Real Folk Blues 6:17 Cowboy BeBop Tank 3:30 Cowboy BeBop Trip Like I Do 7:34 The Crystal Method Busy Child 7:25 The Crystal Method Cherry Twist 4:26 The Crystal Method Vegas High Roller 5:30 The Crystal Method Vegas Comin’ Back 5:39 The Crystal Method Vegas Keep Hope Alive 6:13 The Crystal Method Vapor Trail 6:31 The Crystal Method She’s My Pusher 5:41 The Crystal Method Jaded 7:06 The Crystal Method Vegas Bad Stone 5:10 The Crystal Method Vegas No Talking Just Head 4:34 Debbie Harry/The Heads Take The Time 15:15 Deep Banana Blackout Days Go By 5:02 Dirty Vegas Who Is Tyler Durden 5:02 Fight Club What Is Fight Club 4:44 Fight Club Soundtrack Stealing Fat 2:22 Fight Club Soundtrack This is your life (featuring Tyler Durden) Fight Club Soundtrack Hey Man, Nice Shot 5:14 Filter Take Me Out 3:57 Franz Ferdinand This Fire 4:15 Franz Ferdinand Closer To Fine 4:02 Indigo Girls Hallelujah 6:53 Jeff Buckley All Along the Watchtower 4:00 Jimi Hendrix Gypsy Eyes 3:42 Jimi Hendrix Taxicab Messiah 4:19 Kidneythieves S+M (A Love Song) 3:33 Kidneythieves Beg 3:38 Kidneythieves Freeky People 3:42 Kidneythieves Velveteeen 4:06 Kidneythieves Dead Girl Walking 4:05 Kidneythieves Comets + Violins 3:35 Kidneythieves Lick U Clean 3:43 Kidneythieves before i’m dead 4:36 Kidneythieves zerospace 3:50 Kidneythieves dyskrasia 4:22 Kidneythieves Freak on a Leash 4:15 Korn Falling Away From Me 4:31 Korn Communication Breakdown 2:30 Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love 5:34 Led Zeppelin Immigrant Song 2:25 Led Zeppelin Friends 3:54 Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin III Gallows Pole 4:56 Led Zeppelin Black Dog 4:57 Led Zeppelin The Battle of Evermore 5:52 Led Zeppelin Kashmir 8:28 Led Zeppelin Achilles Last Stand 10:25 Honey 3:29 Moby Machete 3:38 Moby Comin’ Home 3:36 Murder By Death Rum Brave 3:06 Murder By Death Fuego! 4:11 Murder By Death Come Out Swinging 2:47 The Offspring Come Out and Play 3:18 The Offspring Self-Esteem 4:18 The Offspring Smack My Bitch Up 4:48 The Prodigy Send Your Love (feat.

Bumping once for suggestions. My musical knowledge pretty much stops at the early 21st century, and I’ve been feeling old. Is there any rockin’ new music out there? ---

I don’t have any specific suggestions for you but have you tried Pandora? ---

“Bright Future in Sales” - Fountains of Wayne “Steady As She Goes” - Raconteurs “Johnny Feelgood” - Liz Phair Maybe some Indigo Girls that was recorded this decade? – How about “Become You” ---

Well, I’ll avoid adding any more Seatbelts music suggestions, since I’m assuming you have more than just the two Cowboy Bebop songs in your repetoire. If you don’t, then I suggest checking out more of them. The Egg and I is nice and peppy, and always makes me think of Oy bouncing around. 😛 Bolding this next part because it is, in my opinion, one of the best ways to find/get new music ever. \*\* One GREAT way to get new music, one song at a time \ is to use Youtube to check out new stuff, and then use zamzar to have it parse the Youtube link, convert it to mp3, and send it to your email. Download and blam; new music! \ \*\* One of my favorite walking/activity songs, which you might like 'cause I see Prodigy on there, is from the Hacker’s soundtrack. It’s called Cowgirl. Youtube ‘hackers sound track cowgirl’ and it’ll be right there; browse from there and enjoy! ---

I actually don’t have most of their stuff, just a few Bebop tracks I snagged. I’ll check some more of 'em out. Also, never heard of zamzar but I’ll check it out. I’ll check out Cowgirl too. ---

I’ve never listened to a lot of the stuff you have there, and some of what I’ve heard isn’t my cup of tea, so I can only give recommendations based on part of the list and the post-early-21st century instruction, but: The White Stripes are really good, and there’s a lot there that covers kind of a lot of ground; Black Math, Icky Thump, Fell in Love With a Girl, and The Hardest Button to Button are all a good loud walking-tempo or better. Jack White’s also part of the Raconteurs. And the Dead Weather, for that matter, so maybe check out Treat Me Like Your Mother. Ever tried the [Yeah Yeah Yeahs](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMMkP_ofpXg&feature=relmfu)? The [Strokes](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg7KCO_6FGs)? [M.I.A.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCL1RpgYxRM&ob=av3e) ? [Modest Mouse](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHOpmF3glak)? Oh, and as long as you’ve got Andre 3000, might as well have [Hey Ya](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWgvGjAhvIw&ob=av3e), especially if you missed it the first time around.
