New Running Music on JogTunes.com by Gnarls Barkley, Sia, Iron Maiden, the Grateful Dead, and More
Please go to http://jogtunes.com - left column of home page - for more details about the sites and songs mentioned in this post.
This week we checked out the Nike+ Forums and the thread: "What is your favorite power song?" to find another power-type favorite. This time we came across Go-Go Gadget Gospel by Gnarls Barkley. It runs at 150 BPM. We added another tune by Gnarls, Gone, Daddy, Gone, at 166.
Coolrunning.com has a forum thread called "Favorite Songs to Run To?" Among the latest posts, we found runners who enjoy running to songs by Sia, Iron Maiden, and the Grateful Dead. We posted 5 runnables by these groups.
A number of runners have requested that we post songs in the 140-150 range. This is a comfortable range for warming up. We revisited the Arctic Monkeys' repertoire and found the Dancing Shoes which runs at 147.
Peter's Pick for this week is Holiday by Green Day. It runs at 147. See Peter's website for his comments about this and other great music-paced running songs.
The Cinematics round out our new additions with Asleep at the Wheel, which runs at 167.

JogTunes lists new running music for the week of 4/2/07
Please go to http://jogtunes.com - left column of home page - for more details about the sites and songs mentioned in this post.)
This week we turned to the Nike+ Forums where we found the thread: "What is your favorite power song?" (http://forums.nike.com//thread.jspa?threadID=220&start=195&tstart=0).
Of course, we may be biased, but we feel that any power song should be a song with a tempo that matches your favorite and most exhilarating running pace. Although some of the songs suggested by Nike+ Forum contributors didn't fit that description, we found some perfect power-type songs among the readers' posts. Please check the JogTunes.com
home page left column for details.
We welcome a new contributor to JogTunes.com. Kathy, from Canada, posted a great BPM-rated running music list on her blog: (http://fiftykm.blogspot.com/2007/03/running-music-1.html). We posted three of her songs.
Steve, from Texas, is another new contributor. His website: (http://www.treadmillmusic.com/index1.htm) gave us four songs for our tunes list.
We posted 2 songs from the list of Peter Andersson, our steadfast music-paced running colleague. Peter has a great website
(http://k1chyd.adress.eksjo.com/running4.htm) dedicated to music-paced running with expert commentaries on many of his top listed songs.

JogTunes.com Lists New Running Music by 30 Seconds to Mars, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Lamb of God, and More
Last week we posted songs by artists sent in by Runner's World visitors to the Music on the Go forum category of Runner's World Magazine's website. Since then, several runners sent in more running music suggestions to the thread called "Looking for some new rock/metal music to workout to?"
We checked out the bands and found that most of the bands have listed runnable songs in iTunes. The artists include 30 Seconds to Mars, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Lamb of God, Gwar, and Stabbing Westward. The songs are listed in the center column of this page. Album art and links to three of the albums are at the top of this page.
We wish to thank the Runner's World community for their interest in and contributions to music-paced running.
Always a great source of music-paced running songs, Peter's List supplied us with Ice Cube's It Was A Good Day and Kingdom Come's Do You Like It. You can find Peter's top 50 picks with great commentary at his website.

New Running Music on JogTunes.com by +44, Edguy, Scissor Sisters, Nickelback, Snow Patrol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Akon and Jay-Z.
We also added a new 30-minute music-paced running playlist called Scissor Sisters Plus - A Pop/Rock BPM-Labeled iMix. This link takes you to the playlist page at JogTunes.com where there's a link to the iMix in the iTunes Music Store in the US. The "Sisters" are accompanied by Sheryl Crow and The Donnas. It's a great run!
We also added new functionality to our website. After searching for a BPM range or a genre, the resulting songs are listed in BPM order, from slower to faster. The new function allows you to reverse the order so you can move easily to the faster songs. We hope this will be helpful in finding tunes for your playlists.
Meanwhile, happy running and enjoy the music.

Dr. Bob, the founder of jogTunes.com, is the host of the show. It's a 30 minute "run to" format with independent music separated by brief discussions about the artists and the beats-per-minute.
