Our introduction to Playlist Thursday was a success, at least I think so. We even had a fellow runner/blogger join in on the fun. So, of course, we are back for round two of our weekly fun. I also liked how she created a custom image for the title, so I did the same. What’cha think?
Again, here is the format:
- Something Old: These will be songs that are at least 5 years old. I know that isn’t too long to be considered old, but music turnover happens quickly.
- Something Current: These will be songs that have been released within the past year. I know, but you have to give me some leeway here.
- Something to Consider: These will be songs that are not typically heard on the radio and may be by artists you’ve never heard of or considered running to. This is the wild card category, can be old or current.
Enjoy the second PLAYLIST THURSDAY. Feedback is greatly appreciated in the comments.
Something Old
Artist: Prince
Title: Let’s Go Crazy
Side Note: Huge Prince fan. Dude is a musical genius. This is a great song to run to and I always forget to include it when making a new one.
Quotable: “Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today.” Does anything else really need to be said?
Something Current
Artist: Flo Rida feat. Sia
Title: Wild Ones
Side Note: I’ll admit that ALL of Flo Rida’s song sound the same, but damnit if they aren’t catchy, up beat, and awesome to run to.
Quotable: “Hey I heard you were a wild one. Oooh.” We runners are a little wild… you know it.
Something To Consider
Artist: Under the Influence of Giants
Title: In The Clouds
Side Note: If you’ve heard of UTIOG, then kudos to you. I got the 2006 album through a radio station prize and actually really liked it. Here is one of my favs.
Quotable: “Breath in. Lose Control.”
Would love to hear what you thought of these three choices… was round two a success?
Are any of these on your playlist already?
Flo Rida played at the finish line for the Rock-n-Roll Half in St. Petersburg – but it was 32 degrees and we couldn’t bear to stick around. That said, I can totally see it being fun running music!
I posted again and this time, chose a theme for the week: Embarrassing.

PRINCE is always a good choice. Love it. I dig adele of course, but who doesn’t?
;-)
Love Flo Rida and you just reminded me that I MUST update my playlist
Like! I, too, must admit to Prince on the running playlist. (Currently “Everybody Loves Me”…) I like this format of sharing and might just need to join you and Andi in the weekly effort. (LOVE the header, by the way! It’ll be hard to live up to that!)
Loving Wild One’s! Currently on my playlist :)
LOVE Flo Rida! I need to update my playlist!! I was new to the “in the clouds” but its not bad. Its still under evaluation for my playlist!
Anything by Prince is on my playlist. I went to a Barre class a few weeks ago and we warmed up to “Let’s Go Crazy.” I forgot how much I love that song!
“Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson is one of my favorite running songs right now, too.
I would look great in these sleeves because they look great and they would be on me. Boom – did all three!
