Best Running Song for January!


Maybe saying "best band ever to come from Victoria" is faint praise, but I'm going to say it anyway.

Hot Hot Heat is truly the best band to ever come out of Victoria. Probably best band ever to come out of B.C. Canada? Well, I'll leave that to your judgement, but they are indeed a fantastic band.

Hot Hot Heat puts out jumpy, poppy, dance music that is perfect for running. My own personal favorite running song from HHH is "Bandages."

Check out the official version.
And a surprisingly good phone-recorded live version.

Hot Hot Heat has a bunch of other great running songs:

Talk to Me Dance with Me
Middle of Nowhere
Goodnight Goodnight

Time to bust out a new iTunes gift card!
