JogTunes Presents a New Podcast Episode #35

Two years ago, on episode #5 I featured mostly woman singers. Now, on my new episode #35, it’s the men’s turn; well, mostly men. The exception is MAMMÚT from iceland. The genres are mixed with a bit of a lean toward alternative. Some of the lyrics are quite extraordinary. I welcome your opinions about the theme and tune mix. Please send them to comments at jogtunes.com or post them on my Twitter or Facebook pages.

We return to the 30 + 15 minute format with a 30 minute sequenced run followed by a sprint segment that peaks at 184 with a tune by Jimmy Mancus.

JogTunes and the Fitnio Exercise Tracker iPhone App

Robby, a member of the Fitnio iPhone exercise tracking team app, recently introduced me to their program. Their uniqueness? Running music playlist integration. That means you can set up a playlist to use whenever you run. The app uses the built in GPS for tracking. It can be interfaced with their website, fitnio.com, for map acquisition, history, goal tracking, and more.

Check out the screen shot. Here's the info on music integration. And here's their blog.

This is one impressive app. When you launch it, don't forget to get your running music from jogtunes.com or load up our podcast episodes.

And shoot them a comment and tell them I sent you.

A Running Music Tribute to Michael Jackson and More On JogTunes.com

Contrast abounds in our latest listings on JogTunes.com. The range goes from Sinatra (my pick) to Static-X (Peter's Pick), and from Michael Bublé (my pick) to Lacrimas Profundere (Peter's pick). The BPMs are from 142 to 156.

Then there's our small tribute to Michael Jackson. You can walk to "Billie Jean", jog to "Beat It", and run to "Call on Me".

Finally, Spinal Tap is Back from the Dead (album title). We posted "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight." It hauls at 180.

Check out Peter Andersson's latest insights into great running music on his website.

A New JogTunes Indie Podcast Episode Is Up for Running

Another episode of The JogTunes Indie Podcast is up for working out.

Exactly one year ago, on episode #22, all of the tunes I played were in the limited BPM range of the 150s. I recently received a compliment about that show from Michael on the JogTunes Facebook fan page. That prompted me to produce another single BPM range show. I chose the 160s because I believe most runners find it a comfortable range for working out. Some people may consider adding this episode to the 150s episode to create a very pleasant 80 minute, extended session. I welcome feedback about single range episodes and the concept of daisy chaining those shows. Please send your comments to comments at jogtunes.com or to my Twitter or Facebook pages.

You can check it out here on this Odeo Player.



There are more show notes and the playlist with BPMs on our podcast home page.

Enjoy your next run!

JogTunes Adds More Peter's Picks and a Christmas Playlist

Happy Holidays everyone! Here's the latest on JogTunes.com:

I published a new playlist of 11 Christmas tunes for a perfect holiday workout. The BPMs start at a fast walk at 128, and peak at a fast 183. The cool down is a slower walk at 113 with Soulful Christmas by James Brown.

I also just added more great music for paced running and other workouts. Peter Andersson's Picks for this month include many great metal tracks.

You can find a great write up of Bif Naked's "Let Down" here.

And here's Peter's great commentary about Dream Evil's "Doomlord" sent to me by email:

"Swedish metal with a twist, the name of the song is a deliberate maltranslation pun on the name of a local bird, and the spoken part (which I assume is meant to sound possessed or something like that to non-Swedes) is actually about ornithology! They must have had great fun writing this one!

If you have an MP3 player, I've got Amazon/MP3 links for your convenience. If you continue to shop on Amazon after going there from a jogtunes link, I'll get commissions from your purchases. This is an easy way to help support jogtunes.com and my podcast, The JogTunes Indie Podcast.

Lenz (instrumental) and the vocalist, Melissa Forbes. Please see my podcast web page for details. Here's the MP3.

Finally, I'm combining jogtunes.com, jogtunesindie.com (podcast site), and biketothebeat.com into one site: jogtunes.com. I hope to launch the new site this month.

Meanwhile, enjoy the music.

JogTunes Posts Running Music by Jack Johnson, Queensrÿche, Grammy Nominees, and More

This week, our veteran contributor, Peter Andersson, has come through with many new great tunes for running and other music-paced, BPM exercise. From his list I posted tracks by Samael, Prince, Queensrÿche, Metric, and The Libertines. Please check out these tunes on the new song listing on the home page of jogtunes.com. The BPMs range from 144 to 161. And go to Peter's fine website for more running tunes and great commentary about them.

On the iTunes Music Store, I learned about Jack Johnson's new album, Sleep Through the Static. The most runnable tunes from this album are Hope, If I Had Eyes, and the title tune, Sleep Through the Static. The BPMs are 173, 185 , and 140 respectively.

Before He Cheats, a country tune by Carrie Underwood, was nominated for a Grammy. It runs at a leisurely 148 and can also be found on our new tune list. Amy Winehouse's Rehab was also nominated and has been on my list for awhile. You can search for it under artist search at jogtunes.com.

I also posted Like a Star, which walks at 123 BPM. It's Corinee Bailey Rae's nominated tune for a Grammy.

Ok Go has an album that caters to exercisers. It's Master the Treadmill with Ok Go and can be found by clicking on Get Over It on our new tunes list. It runs at 186. I also posted another tune by Ok Go. It's Here It Goes Again from their album, Ok No. It's a leisurely workout at 146 BPM.

And from the UK come two bands with songs on our runnables list. I added The Game to our Faithless tunes. The Klaxons are new to JogTunes. I posted Totem on the Timeline and Golden Skans, running at 169 and 143.

Cyclists can learn more about safe biking to the beat on my website, BikeToTheBeat.com and all exercisers may find it fun and motivating to work out to my podcast episodes. There are 17 of them. You can find them on the podcast's iTunes page and at jogtunesindie.com.

I recently tried working out on a mini-trampoline and must admit that it's a great way to exercise indoors to music. You have to lift your legs fairly high to get your heart rate going but it certainly minimizes the impact on your knees.

Best of music-paced working out to everyone.

The JogTunes Group posts a new podcast episode and new running music

This is the week for the alternative genre at JogTunes. My latest episode (#17) accentuates the alternative with more that the usual tunes of that ilk. Check it out in iTunes or on my podcast site's home page.

After the holidays, downloads of the podcast accelerated to a whopping 4600 per month. I guess everyone's resolved to stay in shape this year.

Alternative's the word on JogTunes.com. I listed tunes by Silverstein and Ween with BPMs from 150 to 160 for some easy-going fun runs and other workouts. Other new bands on the list are Slipknot, The Gap Band, and Bullet for My Valentine. I also added 2 more tunes by Angels and Airwaves from their latest album, I-Empire.

Thanks go to jparkerc and mcdunn34 from the Runner's World Discussion Group, Best Running Playlist EVER, for their suggestions of the Silverstein and The Gap Band tunes respectively.

Peter's pick is The Illusionist by Scar Symmetry. This is one hard driving metal tune that's sure to motivate the laziest runner. Please check out Peter's great comment on this tune on his website. When you go there, scroll down to tune #44.

Don't forget, all of the music, podcasts, and playlists can be used for indoor cycling, aquarunning, stairmaster, elliptical, and even minitrampoline. If you have waterproof audio gear (e.g. http://h2oaudio.com/products.php), try the tunes for swimming.

I'm working on an upgrade of the JogTunes Group's set of websites. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Please send them to comment at jogtunes.com.

And, by the way, I put a Donate button on the podcast site, jogtunesindie.com. Please consider supporting my efforts to promote working out to the exact beat of great music and indie artists. You don't need a PayPal account to use their service. If you're interested, I do get affiliate marketing commissions for tunes that are purchased via links from my websites. That's the good news. The bad news is that Apple only pays 5 cents per tune. Granted, the small income from commissions helps a little, but considering the time I spend, it's minimal.

Meanwhile, best of ruuning.

JogTunes Group Formed and Posts New Running Music and Podcast Episode

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
