I typically only listen to music when I am racing, and enjoy my handful of podcasts during my daily runs. However, with April once again continuing the cycle of never ending rain, I spent a lot more time listening to tunes this month as a way to keep me motivated and running quicker than I would otherwise.
What a wild up listening to was heavy on the indie music side of things. While I did get my fill of some well-known names like current pop-hitmakers The Chainsmokers and Coldplay, as well as Gorillaz and Michelle Branch (from early 2000’s pop fame), The majority of my selection came from lesser-known underground indie pop acts.
My favorite fall albums of the month came from the likes of Coin and the New Pornographers. Father John Misty is gaining traction as a current protest artist, and the Parov Stelar album is a wonderful album of electronica that is great for running.

Marilyn: This month, my top tracks coincidentally ended up being kind of focused on strength. “Keep On Keeping On” gets me pumped up every. single. time. (Can Travie McCoy and Brendon urie please collaborate on more music?! PLEASE!?)
