THE RUN WITH 'KID' - Running Music

Scott Lucas had his record collection stolen, and somewhere in that loss is the blueprint for this run.\n\nLocal H opens with "January: The One With 'Kid'"—a grunge meditation that doesn't rush you, just plants the seed of what's coming. Then Led Zeppelin kicks the door in with "Good Times Bad Times" and "Communication Breakdown," those immortal riffs turning your warmup into something that feels like legacy. The Pretenders bring swagger with "Precious" and "Tattooed Love Boys," Chrissie Hynde's voice cutting through like she's daring you to keep up. AC/DC slides in with "Riff Raff" and "What's Next to the Moon"—pure, stupid-simple rock that just works when you're settling into rhythm. Interpol's "Fine Mess" darkens the mood right before the wall breaker.\n\nThen "Run Run Run" by The Libertines arrives exactly when you need someone screaming at you to move. It's messy, desperate, perfect—the kind of song that doesn't let you slow down because it can't slow down either. After that breakthrough, Kyuss takes over with three tracks of desert-heavy stoner rock: "Demon Cleaner," "Gardenia," and "Odyssey." This isn't victory music yet—it's the long, hypnotic grind through the final miles, all downtuned guitars and dusty grooves that keep you locked in when your form starts falling apart.\n\nBlondie's "Heart of Glass" closes it out like a reward you didn't know you needed—disco-punk elegance after all that distortion. It's the moment you remember why you do this: not for the suffering, but for the strange, stolen beauty on the other side.
