What music does East Dulwich run to?

As someone who is only now beginning to appreciate the lunacy that is a 10k run, I'm depending more and more on my trusty iPod to get me round my training. Personally, Wipeout by The Safaris and Don't stop me now by Queen help me to stumble along - what do the other ED runners listen to?

It's a cheesy disco number, but I find the 12" of Donna Summer's She Works Hard for the Money works a treat - 7 minutes of uptempo bliss. Possibly wouldn't work as well for the majority of the menfolk though

Ashamed to say it was on one of those crappy CDs that came free with a women's mag - something like "all women like disco and songs they can cry to" - but it's true and I'm not above a bit of cynical exploitation

the geeky one who the mean girls laughed at in the cafe? I find the new Yakult adverts vaguely sinister - like the experiment nonsense on Lost


I once cried at a Tesco advert - when Jane Horrocks ran up the town hall steps a la Rocky. In my defence, I was desperately hungover

I agree a bit of rock when you work out is great. I love a bit of Queens of the Stoneage when I'm trying to get to 10k. But

i'm off to itunes to get me some she works hard for the money as that is one fine recommendation.

Also I detect another Lost viewer! Exciting! should we start another thread to discuss the recent season finale?

Europe - The Final Countdown


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASisLT5XHtg


We're leaving together

but still it's farewell

and maybe we'll come back,

to earth, who can tell?


I guess there is no one to blame

we're leaving ground (leaving ground)

will things ever be the same again?

It's the final countdown.


The final countdown.


Oh, We're heading for Venus (Venus)

and still we stand tall

cause maybe they've seen us

and welcome us all, yeah

with so many light years to go

and things to be found (to be found)

I'm sure that we'll all miss her so

It's the final countdown.

Such pathos - "we're leaving together, but still it's farewell"


sigh... I miss hair metal


in a similar vein, although no good for running to, what about "Clouds Across the Moon" for another brilliant 80s sad tune in space?

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
