JogTunes posts new music by Cheap Trick, The Hives, and many more artists, for BPM running and other paced workouts

I've been on a 2-week vacation and just got back to adding new tracks to our Tunes List. You'll find an eclectic list of 20 new tunes. Here are the details:

Hypnostep, on the Runner's World forum thread "The Best Running Music EVER", posted a great list of dance and electronic music with BPMs. I listed tunes from the list by Juno Reactor,the Benassi Bros., and the Propellerheads. The BPMs vary from the 120s (great for fast walking to the 140s for easy jogging.

Girlwithcurl, favoring faster paces, posted a great rock/pop/alternative list on the same thread. The tunes, artists, and BPMs include:
  • Requiem for a Dying Song--Flogging Molly 172
  • She's Tight--Cheap Trick 157
  • Bleed It Out--Linkin Park 140 (Was already on our list)
  • Devil Inside--INXS 151
  • Brand New Cadillac--The Clash 153
  • Try It Again--The Hives 156
  • Nightrain--Guns N' Roses 155
  • Tough It Out--Webb Wilder 161
The latest on iTunes provides 2 tunes for my list.
"West of the Fields (Live)" by R.E.M. in the album Live: From London works out at 164 BPM.
"Everyone Nose (All the Girls Standing In the Line for the Bathroom)" by N.E.R.D. from Seeing Sounds is an easy going 141.

Peter Andersson is our veteran contributor. His picks for this week include tunes by Nickelback, The B-52's, and Skew Siskin. You've got to read his comments on Skew Siskin's tune, "Shake Me." It can be found on his website in his top 50 list (it's #24).

My latest JogTunes Indie Podcast episode is up for running and other fitness modes. It's #22 and entitled "Rockin' in the 150s." Check it out on our Podcast Page. You can subscribe to my podcast on iTunes and many other podcast players. I would greatly appreciate your impressions of this episode. For a change of pace, all the tunes are rock with BPMs between 150 and 159. Please send your comments to comments at jogtunes.com.

Many thanks to listeners who've purchased the talk-free Special Edition tracks from my website store. Please consider supporting the show by purchasing this offer (just $5.00).

Meanwhile, enjoy the music and and your favorite BPM paced fitness workouts.

Hey Dr. Bob, check out my website podwogging.com. I take a slightly different (some might say wacky) approach to walking and jogging to personal music players, though my lists are skewed to an older, and slower, demographic.
