I'm happy to announce the formation of the The JogTunes Group, a DBA licensed by the State of Utah and operating under B & G Business Services LLC. The JTG is dedicated to providing resources for working out exactly to the tempos (BPMs) of great signed and indie artists' music. The flagship website is JogTunes.com which lists runnable songs and playlists by signed artists. Associated websites are JogTunesIndie.com, our primary site for our podcast, The JogTunesIndie Podcast, and our most recent JTG addition, BikeToTheBeat.com. The latter is designed for stationary cyclists who enjoy working out to music and pedaling to the beat.
I'm endeavoring to combine these sites into one site to allow more interaction and accessibility. I welcome your comments at comments@jogtunes.com.
I just added more tunes to our Tunes List. Jeff sent in a fine list of runnable songs, all BPM rated. From his list I picked Aerosmith's Pink and Some Unholy War by Amy Winehouse, both in the 170s BPM. Here's his personal website.
Susan's extensive BPM rated list provided me with 2 songs by Blues Traveler and 2 by John Mellencamp with BPMs ranging in the 150s to 180s. Susan's an active aquarunner. Here's her website.
I found KT Tunstall's new album Drastic Fantastic on the iTunes Music Store's new music list. You'll find 3 songs by her on our list. The BPMs are 122, 142, and 155.
Peter, our veteran contributor, pointed me to The Donnas' new album, Bitchin'. You can practically BPM-pace walk and run to the entire album. I selected 5 runnable songs ranging in BPMs from 143 to 170.
Another Peter's Pick on the list is *NSYNC's Bye, Bye, Bye. It runs at 173.
Thanks Jeff, Susan, and Peter, for your generous contributions.
I also just added the single, Radio Nowhere, from Bruce Springsteen's new album, Magic, coming out soon. The BPM is a leisurely 140.
I encourage you to go to Peter's great website for his fine list of running songs with BPM ratings and commentary.
My 13th episode of the JogTunesIndie Podcast is up for running. Please check it out at jogtunesindie.com.
Most of the songs are by artists who have been featured on the Association of Music Podcasting members' shows. Please see the above website for details.
It's my first 1 hour episode. It's divided into a 45 minute segment followed by a 15 minute segment.
It's also the first time that I invite stationary cyclists to try pedaling to the podcast songs. The more recent shows have walking tunes in addition to the running segments. This wider range of BPMs lends itself well to cycling. Please see more about cycling to the beat on BikeToTheBeat.com. Please note that I strongly discourage biking to music on the road. The risks are just too great. So please keep it "stationary."
I hope you enjoy the new additions, expanded podcast, and biking perspective. Meanwhile, happy music-paced running (and biking).
Dr. Bob

Also, So Long, Astoria by the Ataris (183), and Silversun Pickups' Melatonin (162) and Lazy Eye (127).

Another Runner's World contributor is adamyoungnc who suggested the artists Mae and Further Seems Forever. Mae's song, Suspension runs at an easy going 150. We found a song by Further Seems Forever called Bye, Bye, Bye that runs at a perfect 167.
Susan, our newest contributor and an avid aquarunner, supplied us with I'm Not Running Anymore by John Mellencamp. It's a fast walk at 128. Here's her website.
