Hi all,
Thanks to everyone for your kind comments on my Facebook jogtunes.com page. Your feedback is very encouraging and shows that I'm fulfilling the JogTunes mission.
I just published the latest episode (#31) of the JogTunes Indie Podcast. It features a new genre for the show: New Age. The featured artist is Faith Rivera. Her great music was the inspiration for this episode's theme. Please check out the podcast page on JogTunes.com for details.
I also recently posted an eclectic mix of runnable tunes on JogTunes.com, including 3 by The Decemberists and 2 by Melody Club. The latter group is a Peter's Pick. Also, there's Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, Theory of a Deadman (also from Peter), and Jive Bunny and the Mixmasters.

Meanwhile, best of running, and enjoy the music!

A New All-Metal Playlist on JogTunes
The JogTunes Group presents a metal music medley that should definitely motivate the laziest runner to get up and match the beat with the feet. These tunes have been hand picked for runnability by Peter Andersson, a veteran contributor to our website, jogtunes.com. They're sequenced by beats-per-minute (BPM) from warm-up to cool-down with a whole lot of paced running in between. The BPMs start at 144 and end at 148 with a peak at 185 and tunes in the 150s, 160s, 170s, and 180s.
Tell me what you think about the new playlist at comments (at) jogtunes.com.

JogTunes Additions: New Podcast Episode, Grammy Tunes, Nike+ iPod Links
I just published the latest episode (#30) of the JogTunes Indie Podcast. This is the first time I feature songs by only one artist. Who better to play for 50 minutes of running than the consummate singer/songwriter, keyboardist, music podcaster/blogger, internet geek, and trailblazing music entrepreneur, Matthew Ebel? Check out the podcast page of my website, jogtunes.com, for details.
I also posted tunes by Grammy nominees and winners. You can find them listed in the Tunes List on the home page and the Tunes tab, between and including Sheryl Crow and Coldplay.
Have you tried the Apple Nike + iPod system yet? Knowing what to get can be confusing. I try to make some sense out of it on my new store page.
Best of running to all,

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. You can get the whole package as an iMix on iTunes (US only) or order individual tunes from the playlist's page to fit your personal playlist needs.
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. I posted tunes by UnSun, Tank (from the 80s), Dream Evil, and Airbourne. In addition I posted three Metro Station pop tunes and another Bif Naked tune. They'll be on the home page of jogtunes.com until the next update. After that, just use the artist search feature.
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.
Enjoy the season!

JogTunes Adds Our Take on Nikeplus' and iTunes' Lance Armstrong: Run Longer Compilation
The JogTunes Group just posted 5 tunes from the Nikeplus iTunes Lance Armstrong: Run Longer Compilation. You can find them along with their BPMs on the Tunes List. For music-paced interval runners, below is my suggested BPM-sequenced playlist. It includes 8 tunes from the compilation with walking paces mixed with interval running tempos. Click here to order the mix from the US iTunes Music Store.
Peter's picks for this week is "Rockstar" by Nickelback. It's a comfortable pace at 144 BPM. Check it out along with other Nickelback "runnable" tunes on our Nickelback page. Check out Peter's extensive list at his website.

JogTunes.com publishes a re-designed site and posts new tunes and a new podcast episode
I'm happy to announce that we've just published a re-designed version of jogtunes.com that incorporates the original jogtunes.com, biketothebeat.com, and jogtunesindie.com. Now the site provides both label and indie tunes, all the podcast episodes and shownotes, and info for many exercise modalities. I welcome your feedback as comments to this post or to comments at jogtunes.com.
Nike has published a new sport iMix, Joan Benoit Samuelson: Women's Marathon Mix, Vol. 1. For music-paced fitness enthusiasts, I determined the BPMs of the tunes on this iMix and sequenced them for music-paced (BPM) running and other workouts. Here's the sequence:
You can find the tunes in the Tunes List of jogtunes.com among the most recently added 20 tunes. Just look for the album entitled Joan Benoit Samuelson: Women’s Marathon Mix, Vol. 1. I will make a playlist soon.
I posted some new tunes in addition to the Joan Benoit mix. There are tunes by Elbow, The Black Crowes, and Kimya Dawson, who sings "Tire Swing" from the movie, Juno.
I also added two great tracks from Peter Andersson's latest greatest BPM running music tunes: Viva New York, by Heavy Metal Kids, and
I Only Want You by Eagles Of Death Metal. Check out Peter's extensive list at his website.
I just published the latest episode of the JogTune Indie Podcast. It's subtitled "Reggae Rules." Five of the 12 songs are of that genre. It's really fun to workout to reggae. Give it a try and tell me what you think at comments at jogtunes.com.
I hope you enjoy all the new changes and additions.
