JogTunes.com presents more great running music rated by BPM from new albums by Conor Oberst, The Faint, and The Ting Tings. Check them out at JogTunes.com. Just scroll down to the Tunes list or use the artist search field.
Peter Andersson, our veteran contributor, sent me a great new list. From it I posted tunes by Gemini Five, Darryl Worley, and Gotthard with a BPM range of 147 to 179. Here's his website for more great tunes and commentary.
Runner's World's discussion thread, What song finished your run today?, provided some fine runnable tunes. GoDaddy posted Tick Tick Boom by The Hives. It rocks at a leisurely jog of 136 BPM. I also found Walk Idiot Walk by the same band on iTunes. It's a faster jog at 147.
Angels & Airwaves is well represented on the thread. Daddy_go_run listed Call to Arms. I had this on jogtunes.com and added runnerdad1's suggestion, Secret Crowds. The BPMs are 182 and 155 respectively.
Thanks to DaniAPotter's passion for Fall Out Boy's album, From Under the Cork Tree, I found 5 perfect running tunes with those fun long names:
Sugar, We're Goin Down (BPM 164)
Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued (BPM 155)
Of All the Gin Joints In All the World (BPM 173)
I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song) (BPM 156)
Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for My Sham Friends (BPM 160)
Check the Fall Out Boy tunes and A & A's Secret Crowds here:
My thanks to Peter and Runners'World contributors, for your fine suggestions.
Best of running (and other workouts)!

Hey Dr. Bob,
My name is Rob Thomson, and I am currently skateboarding around the world. My website is at www.14degrees.org/en. When I say skateboarding around the world, it's just that. No other forms of over-land transport. I've skated over 10,000km, and I've got another 4,000km to go until I finish my trip in a couple of months.
In any case, I was spending some time chilling out in an internet cafe here in China today, and stumbled upon your JogTunes website while searching for some new music for my MP3 player. I had never thought of calculating the BPM of my pushing (it is very regular, as I am pushing along main roads for up to 8 hours a day) and your list of songs with the BPM has great potential for me to find the best songs for my pace. Indeed I do find some songs much better to skate to than others.
So a big thank you for your efforts on the site!
Cheers,
Rob
