It’s the first Playlist Thursday of 2013 with Pavement Runner and we’re hitting the refresh button: Time to “refresh” your playlist and breathe some new life into it. Roll into the New Year with some songs to keep your energy up and keep you focused on your resolutions/goals.
Just in case you need a refresher on how it all works, here you go:
Every Thursday we create a list composed of 3 songs that can, or should be, added to your workout playlist. Here is the simple format:
Something Old: 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: Songs that have been released within the past year.
Something to Consider: This is the wild card category. Feel free to list any song: old, current, guilty pleasure, underground, whatever.
Before each song include: Artist, Title, Side Note: (Anything you want to say about the song) Quotable: (line from the song)
I recently discovered Walk off the Earth. They do amazing covers of popular songs. Since they refresh songs in their own unique way I’m featuring them for the refresh theme.
Something Old
Artist: Walk off the Earth
Title: Magic (B.o.B cover)
Side Note: I’m cheating with this because it’s not quite old enough to fit the category but I like it so here it is.
Quotable: “Magic, magic, magic. Magic, magic, magic. Magic, magic, magic (ahoo). I’ve got the magic in me!”
Something New
Artist: Walk off the Earth
Title: Gang of Rhythm
Side Note: This song (an original) is how I was introduced to Walk off the Earth. Love the rhythm. Love the vibe. A perfect way to kick off a new year of running.
Quotable: “Come on now everyone yeah. Come on now everyone. We’re like a locomotive. Under the big hot sun”
Something to Consider
Artist: Walk off the Earth
Title: Party Rock Anthem (LMFAO cover)
Side Note: A nice refreshing change to a song that has been well-played on my playlist.
Quotable: “Party rock is in the house tonight. Everybody just have a good time. And we gonna make you lose your mind. We just wanna see ya shake that.”
Now head on over to YouTube and check out some more of their songs. That’s what I’m going to do 
I love that B.o.B. song – its one of my favourite running tracks! The cover is pretty cool too!
Me too!
