Best Running Song for September - Bloc Party - Octopus

Another repeat entry on the Best Running Song list from this band, which can't not make an amazing running song: Bloc Party.

Let's face it, much like Matt and Kim from last month, these guys just make music that's meant to run to. It's perfect.

Their new song, Octopus, from their fourth album, titled, yes, "Four" is a jittery piece of running music perfection.

And here's a nice live version from KCRW.
