Hey all,

I'm getting a bit tired of my playlists and need some new tunes to keep my energy up while training for the marathon and at the gym. Here are the two playlists I've currently got on my ipod - one consists of fairly shitty dance-pop and house (strangely, it's only when I'm delirious from exhaustion that I can bear listening to this kind of music... ) , and the other is pretty much rock guitar based. I'm all about hip hop, r&b and funk but the bpm is a little too slow to get me motivated. Any bright ideas from the gay mafia's gym bunnies or from fellow pavement pounders are most welcome. And, yes, I'm fully aware of the fact that there's no Prince. Go figure.

These Music: Non-Prince fuOrg "music mavens" wouldn't know worthy dance music of today if it came and slapped them in the fucking face. That's why this thread went by with ZERO response in several days.
