While you may have made a resolution to rock more in 2012, you may also have made a resolution to exercise, and nothing gets you moving more than a good workout playlist. Here are some suggestions for workout tracks to get you moving. Share your favorites in the comments: Beat It When you need to get some energy out and work up a sweat, “Beat It” gets you moving. Push It A classic in its own right, “Push It” has the tempo to get you moving at the gym. Eye of the Tiger Of course this is on our list, because who doesn’t want to run the extra mile when you’ve got this going in your headphones. 99 Problems This song has got an infectious energy that gets you moving. The Distance You’re going the distance! You’re going for speed! Immigrant Song It’s a classic on workout playlists for a reason. Testify We’ll choose any song with this much energy and rage. Perfect for that run at the end of a bad day. Seven Nation Army You’ll be a one-person army with this song urging you forward.

The blogosphere is ablaze today with performances from Florence & the Machine and My Morning Jacket on Jools Holland last night. We think these are worth the buzz. Via Stereogum (among many others). First, “What the Water Gave Me” off of the new album, Ceremonials. Next, “No Light, No Light,” also off of her new album Finally, My Morning Jacket Performs

GarageBand for the iPad: At $5, this is a steal for all of the features. This app includes piano, guitar, bass, guitar, and drums (all virtual, of course), all ready for you to record songs. KORG iElectribe: Did you know that KORG’s iElectribe was used by Gorillaz to create an entire album? Essentially a beatbox system, iElectribe uses controls that look like an analog synth. Tab Toolkit: Learning tablature? This is a great app and tool for discovering guitar tabs. DJ Mixer Pro: A bunch of fun for throwing a dance-arty on the go, DJ Mixer Pro allows you to mix songs. If you’re not a DJ, this is a fun way top pretend. Music Notes Sheet Music Viewer for iPad: The iPad is rather perfect for sheet music. Just download the song you want to learn and go from there. What are your favorite music apps?

If you want to make your own guitar solo, don’t forget to use Seismic Audio guitar cabinets.
