A mix tape for a new year

Grammaphone from Singapore History MuseumAs part of a get fit regime, I took up running earlier this year. For me to be motivated to run I have to listen to music. Thankfully it doesn't mean I have to listen to David Guetta-ish beats just to keep going - it can be absolutely anything. And because I ran a lot this year, I can attest to the following artists and songs. These songs helped me and inspired me through a period of transition.

Ryan Adams - Do I Wait (taken from Ashes and Fire)



City & Colour - Little Hell (taken from Little Hell)



The Decemberists - June Hymn (taken from The King Is Dead)



Fitz & The Tantrums - Moneygrabber (taken from Pickin' Up The Pieces)



Noel Gallagher - If I Had A Gun... (taken from High Flying Birds)



Gotye - In Your Light (taken from Making Mirrors)



Mayer Hawthorne - No Strings (taken from How Do You Do?)



Husky - History's Door (taken from Forever So)



Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin' (taken from Stone Rollin')



Teddy Thompson - Gotta Have Someone (taken from Bella)
