Surprisingly Good PJ Songs to Run to

I like Who You Are, In my Tree, Smile and In Hiding for running. There are many good choices though.

I can't believe I didn't mention Go..Yep, one of the best! Not For You helped a lot during todays rainsoaked slog. I'm going to check out Whipping and Garden. For me, no PJ, no run. Forgot my I River one day...went to Starbuck's instead.

Starbucks, yep, that's the best exercise i'd say. Deciding what coffee to choose from , that's a real excersise of the mind! I always go for a mocha-coconut at the end.
I have an i-river as well, good gadget

p.s. is going to a Starbucks against the Pearl-Jam-ethic of fighting the world corporate companies?

:DWell, quite frankly it's about taste. Starbuck's has the water-d down edge to it. I mean their marketing scheme is very successful. All of the cute colors on all the cute coffee mugs at just the right time of year.

However, if you want a better taste, you really have to go to the independent cafes that grind their own beans.

yeah , i know, what you drink in Starbuck's is not actually coffee . It's usually melted caramel and chocolate and whipped cream and stuff, and maybe a wee touch of coffee. It still tastes good though
I don't know if you have a coffee shop chain called Nero, they make a damn good strong cup of coffee
Anyhoo, small coffee places can very often be the best

Not PJ but I always liked working out to Burden in My Hand by Soundgarden. I could put that song on repeat and just do pushups and situps for a long time.

Superunknown is way underated I could listen to it all at the gym and have I think...Dusty comes to mind after a rough day. Outshined and Sonic Reducer are my top 2 for lifting.

I guess I like the fast stuff by PJ on my running setlist because it includes:
Leash, Saying No, I Got Shit, Habit, Faithful, Glorified G, Marker and Severed Hand.

Other songs include Creep, Fea, a lot of The Who and Cheap Trick and believe it or not (a little embarassing) Lose Yourself from Eminem.

and btw, IMHO...earbuds rule!

I haven't heard of Saying No. What's it from?

I'm not sure where it was originally played but the 3 versions I have are from Chapters, Covering 'em selves, and one of the Green Habit compilations.

I haven't heard of any of those versions. Dang, where have I been?

...should know about "the new download/share thread". Just be prepared to share back, and nothing after 2004. Megaupload is really easy to use as is zipping/unzipping .rar files...very easy. I think you would enjoy some other covers that can be picked up from these shows as well such as:
dock of the bay, everyday people, driven to tears etc. Give it a try here first and if you have any questions let me know.

Breaking the Girl by the Chilli Pep's is also a surprisingly good running song

Leash ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuules!

I bombed past my daughter (she's way younger than me...) when Brain of J came up on my player...try it!

(of course, she soon caught up)
