I've been debating bringing back the Wednesday Tunes, mostly because I haven't listened to much music lately and it would force me to bring the happy back to my ears. Coincidence that this week my favorite local band posted their first single to You Tube? Perhaps. But either way, lucky you if you check in here and find this vid :)

Walking on a Dream
Ambling Alp
I like a lot of Yeasayer's stuff, unfortunately not many of the songs I like have a You Tube Video! But this one's pretty good :)
The Show Goes On
I am a huge Lupe Fiasco fan. I love his song Superstar! And pretty much have enjoyed everything I have listened to by him. I think The Show Goes On is quite appropriate given this past Monday's crazy temps. More on that whole marathon thing to come soon but in the meantime real life calls and that whole "show" must indeed go on too.
6*1000, 6*200
1000s or Ks depending on what you want to call them! I seem to love 1000s. Just long enough to be semi comfortable, but short enough that pace can be relatively fast and still bearable. I finally made it to the group workout last night and I don't know if it was the cool temps, the company, or just the fresh legs after a day off but the workout went really well.
Goal was 3:32 I think for each 1000. Coach said 84/85 for the 400s and I just went with the flow and was open to 86 and being a little slow if that felt better as that was Lizzie's target.I felt really smooth and actually was a bit mentally disengaged. I looked at the watch once and the rest of the workout just ran by feel. I had Passion Pit's Sleepyhead in my head and it obviously seemed to work for me as I got a bit faster each repeat.
Coach neglected (I am guessing intentionally as he usually only has us do more if we are looking good) to inform us we would have more to do after the 6*1k and I begrudgingly followed up my seemingly kick ass ks with a sufferfest of 6*200. 200s and I just do not get along and man my calf was tight during these. Ouch!
I think with this workout I can fairly say my speed is about back to where it was at my peak which makes me a very happy camper this early in the year!

Sweet Tides
The Cleveland Public Library has proven to be an awesome place to get to know some more tunes recently. I usually listen to Pandora or Spotify but after being introduced to some new groups I just got online and requested a ton of CDs and was pleasantly surprised to find they had most of what I was looking for. I love this song by Thievery Corporation and have been grooving to it the past month or so!
The Wilhelm Scream
I had to do some "googling" to figure out who this was by. I love it. Very appropriate for this morning too as I was up extremely early for a shake out run and pretty sure I was still dreaming, and most definitely was in a haze for the first few miles of the run. So much so that I was back asleep post run with no issue. Loving that with the higher mileage I am once again a sleep lover, but man there are not enough hours in the day for everything I want to do!
We Will Become Silhouettes
I actually wanted to post up Sleeping In today and it would have been ironic seeing as I was up at 5:30 am and running after a late night track workout last night, but this is an equally good song by Postal Service (my fave is Such Great Heights as previously mentioned many times) and it has an official video whereas Sleeping In does not appear to!
Anna Sun
Turn up the volume and check out this video by Walk the Moon!
They were freaking fantastic live on Sunday. So stoked my friend G hooked me up with tickets to see YTG at the Beachland, if you aren't from Cleveland Beachland is a small ball room so seeing YTG and WTM up close and personal was truly a treat. Just a really fun feeling vibe and I was most certainly bouncing around to these guys Sunday despite being absolutely exhausted!
Not going to lie when they came on stage with their facepaint I thought, hmmm, half way through the first song I was thinking WOW!

Vampires
Runs on Beer turned me on to Thievery Corporation and I have been grooving on their stuff on this weeks Metro ride from DC to FFX each day. It's great stuff. This one seems appropriate given I am staying in DC this week. Fun groove as well. Alas I did not find a great vid to go along with todays tunes. Such is life some days!
Hotter With the Lights On Track Workout
I love when Kim posts alternative lyrics to her post :) So I am stealing that idea today as my entire indoor track workout this song was running through my head last night. Last week we got spoiled and half the lights were off cooling it off a bit. Not the case last night! Lights were on, I got real sweaty, and the lungs definitely felt like they had a real indoor track workout!
How the workout played out!
My Track Version of the lyrics ;)
You're so fine (so beautiful)
Top of the line (so unusual)
Words can't define,
You're running through my mind all day
I'm so happy you're mine (so beautiful)
Top of the line (so unusual)
Now I think it's time,
hey Indoor I hope you don't take this the wrong way
Track you are cooler with the lights off,
Cooler with the lights off ooh
Track, you are cooler with the lights off,
Cooler with the lights off ooh Cooler with the lights off
Hey US Track, what you look so bright for?
Track time , you only live one time
So put your goals on flash forward
Like gone speed me up, got a deadline, cause you need me done
I hate your type, I love you too, I run your turns, cause I wanna do you
Can't blame you track
Love hugging your tight curves, you make me fast.
5k pace, right like that, that lalala, Make your eyes roll back
I mean you already fine though,
I just wanna see you with the lights off
Every star wanna know how it is To clap off the lights and turn 90 to 76.
You're so fine (so beautiful)
Top of the line (so unusual)
Words can't define,
You're running through my mind all day
I'm so happy you're mine (so beautiful)
Top of the line (so unusual)
Now I think it's time,
hey Indoor I hope you don't take this the wrong way
Track you are cooler with the lights off,
Cooler with the lights off ooh
Track, you are cooler with the lights off,
Cooler with the lights off ooh Cooler with the lights off
Start up to round the curves to have a good pace.
Shit was right so I didn't have to race.
You look fast girl, what you wanna do girl?
Stick to my pace cause it's only me and you, girl.
I'm testing you out, you had me put my speed on
Acting too speedy saying you ain't going back slow
I'm like wow, Whatever you say, but whatever you plan gotta be done at 8 Next Stop.
Party at my place, of course you welcome speed,
You ain't taking up space
We get there, and Speedy still looking right,
Track attacked me, but wait let me dim the lights
You feel different, no way to stop it
Naw, I ain't playing actually you more poppin.
I said shocking. No that's really raw.
I don't know baby, but even with the lights on...

Blower's Daughter
Not sure why but I can't get this song out of my head this week. I think it is time to watch Closer again! I just adore Damien Rice's voice. Gets me every time!
Shuffle
It's a good thing this blog isn't a paying gig or I would be in trouble for being tardy ever so often on my Wednesday videos lately!
Here you go a day late and a dollar short!
I have been loving this tune lately. Just fun and feel good. Reminds me a bit of Matt and Kim.

Two'fer Wednesday! Buena and Minnesota, Wi
I love finding some old tune that you never heard before that you are suddenly grooving to. This is just a fun little tune, a bit jazzy, a bit bluesy, feel good. I've been toying with picking back up my sax again and I am definitely grooving to any tunes with a groovy sax line right now!
Can't embed so you will have to head over to You Tube to see this one!
So you get your fix here on a vid this week check out this cool little vid below put together to Bon Iver's Minnesota, Wi.
The song is a little more mellow, but does have a bit of sax in there briefly. I like a lot of Bon Iver's stuff so far that I have listened to even though he gets a bit nasally/whiny sometimes. Most of this song is a little less of that high pitched stuff which is more my style.

Safe and Sound
I've been in a real feel good place on pretty much every run since the Columbus marathon in October despite my bodies woes. While it was refreshing to find out the past few months that I can be a happy person without running it is also exciting to truly realize that my happiness reaches even higher heights with a good (or mediocre) run!
Just in general I have been feeling cheerier than I have in a long time and I have been grooving to a lot of feel good music these days. (I still appreciate a dose of The Shins or Mad World ala Gary Jules as much as the next girl though)
On a sounds eclectic kick again and sadly most of the great tunes on there do not have groovy videos but this one is a little fun if somewhat morbid in spots. I'd love to get out a bit more often for some official dancing but I most certainly have been caught dancing around the house, office, locker room these days when a good tune is on!
Hope you enjoy!

Wishing Well
I've been grooving to Airborne Toxic Event for the past few months. They keep cropping up on my car rides curtsey of Sirius, on a few friends blogs, and I loved the Sounds Eclectic show they did.
Heard this song this morning on the way to work. I like the polished radio edit better, but I like the strings/drums/piano and live performance too and I love how into it they are on all of their live videos I have watched.

Song For You
I have been totally neglecting my weekly video search even though I am listening to tons of amazing music, shame on me!
I heard this tune the other day and love his voice, very pleasant, and I love the guitar.
