Friend Island 3 - Rock vs Tronix! This workout you have a 25 minute run. Don't be afraid, you're the best and totally ready for it. Musically, this workout we feature Faux Pas, who is Tim Sheil from Melbournetown, and a music jamboree to boot! You're gonna shit when you hear it! Good shit! Around Faux Pas, we have seminal Australian rock classics from some of my favorite bands from the 90s & 2000s and some stuff from the first workout of week six, coz it's not fair it only got one run! Too amazing, it's stuff you MUST hear! Week Six has been a bit experimental, because freeing your mind is the key to eternity. Believe it. Good luck! And see you next week for the Spod + Palace of Fire analog psych synth megajam!

I had a bunch of buddies make me an album for my birthday, and I love it so much I wanted to make a Fantasyze out of it, so for the most part, this is from that CD, plus some other tracks from other friends, or tracks i've made for friends. Friend Island, indeed!!!

FANTASYZE! WEEK 5a!!! WORKOUT 1 of 3!! Feat. Bambi from the Amazing Phillips Sisters

spodternet@spod.com.au (Spod) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:33:00 +1000

HELLOO!!! Welcome to Week 5! You doing the workouts, or just chilling to the rad jams? Either way, congrats for making it thus far!

PLEASE NOTE: This week there is 3 seperate downloads, so i'll make 3 seperate posts for them, with workout 2 & 3 going up tomorrow hopefully.

This week my magical special guest star is none other than the fantastical Bambi from the Amazing Phillips Sisters. I went down to melbourne and spent too few hours cooking up this genius party, but they were good hours. This shit is a trip, no doubt.

I've fallen a week behind in my runs because I had a week of celebration of being alive another year, so i'm on the catch up, but fitness knows no time, only results. Thanks to everyone who's written in, it's awesome to hear your sticking with it!!! It's also good to hear that people are doing this just for the benefit of getting fitter and not in a weight hunt, as that's the whole point. Scales can eat the poops, it's all about feeling good!

Ok, so enjoy this week, it's getting harder now, but stick with it, and feel free to repeat any weeks you need, stay on week 3 for 3 weeks if you need to, it's all good!

xoxox

Sorry about the delay, week 5 is on its way!!!

spodternet@spod.com.au (Spod) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:50:00 +1000

Yeah, no excuses, but if yr hanging for the run, it'll be up and ready to download in about an hour, so like 6pm Monday night.
Seeing as this week there is 3 seperate mixes for runs, it's going to be a big one! So i'll up day 1 today, and hopefully the other 2 tomorrow, so stay tuned!!

xo

FANTASYZE! WEEK 4 - feat. SPOD PARTY 2!

spodternet@spod.com.au (Spod) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:11:00 +1000

Hey ho! So it's kinda like nearly half way! What a trip! Have you been doing the workouts? If so, drop me a line @ fantasyze@spod.com.au, i'd love to hear about it!

So this week was to be special guests, but due to circumstances such as the existance of time and space, it couldn't happen, but i've got something even better! More unreleased SPOD jams! I've basically given away a full, long album already! And there's more to come!

The workout is a little more brutal now, but if you've been following the program, it's super easy! 3 times this week! Do it!

Ok, i'm off for my run! Love love!!

Fantasyze, media and YOU!!!!

spodternet@spod.com.au (Spod) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:38:00 +1000

So how is everyone going? You working out?? If you're downloading Fantasyze and doing the program, or just listening to the jams, or whatever you're doing, I want to hear about it!!! Throw me an email at fantasyze@spod.com.au and give me tales of the bucketbong frenzy you and your chill brahz are maxin' out to fantaszye with, or how you're rigidly following the workout regieme and reaping the benefits of fitness, or if you're just listening to the jams driving a bus. Whatever!! I'd like to keep this blog updated with the community side to Fantasyze and see if it's helping peoples lives in anyway!

Fantasyze has been a wonderous hit thus far! A few points of note would be;
* Is still the number one Health podcast on iTunes (go subscribe!!! Even if you don't want to! xox)
Triple J Morning Show had me on to talk about it and played a bunch of Week 2 with my edit mistakes and the amazing Richard In Your Mind jams.
* 2SER playing it every Tuesday at 10.45am! http://twitter.com/2ser
* RRR played the whole of 1 and will be following the progress
* Twothousand and Fourthousand have plugged it
h-spod-2/
* Klusker are doing an interview & photoshoot feature

and more!!! It's exciting it's been given the opportunity to make a positive impact in peoples lives, when music is normally such a passive practice till you get out there to play live.

Anyway, i've got Fantasyzes to make and run to! Thanx everyone, spread the fantasy!!!
xoxox

oh, PS: if you do a twitter, i'm HERE and that donation button was requested, so no presh. xo

FANTASYZE! WEEK 3 featuring SPOD remixes

spodternet@spod.com.au (Spod) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:26:00 +1000

Hey fantasyzers!!! Congrats for making it to week 3, and thank you for making us the number one HEATH podcast on itunes!! We're even destroying Oprah! Amazing!!! Fantasyze is now starting to happen for real! I'm feeling really good, even though i'm a run behind because of overmaximising my time in the Party Zone, which is also why this week is a bit behind time wise, but this is why we fantasyze, to maximize our PZ time. I was in at Triple J this morning and played some of week 2, so if that brought you here, hello! 2SER are getting totally behind it, as are RRR in melbourne, playing full episodes. Legends. Anyway, LETS GET INTO IT!!! This week, all the songs are remixes I have done for various bands over the years, and i'm excited to be sharing them with you all, enjoy! How amazing is free music!

GET FIT! EXERSIZE! FANTASY!!! FANTASYYYYYZE!!!!!

spodternet@spod.com.au (Spod) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:18:00 +1000

Music. Life. Bodies. Fitness. Exersize. Life. We all have it. We all want it. Well fantasize no more...

FANTASYZE!!!
With me, your best friend, SPOD!

This journey is designed for the non runner, the human who wants to get fit, but just can't find the time, or the motivation to really make it happen. I decided to start my trek through the valleys of unfitatude toward conquering the evils of Mt Fitness as winter took its icy grip on my soul, and I was preparing to start my new record. Well the time has begun.

In 9 weeks, mid Spring, I'm going to start writing & recording my new album, as you can't write and record a party in winter, so I want to be a pillar of maximum health & power to create the greatest album I can, and look super hot when accepting my grammy. So starting July 20th, i'm getting FIT for FANTASY!!! WHY NO ONE HAS MIXED THE MAGICAL POWERS OF FANTASY, AND THE REALITY OF EXERSIZE UNTIL NOW, I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!

Now, I can hear you saying now 'I know you make the greatest jams in the world, but why should I care if you get fit'? Good question;

1: It's not me, it's WE who will be getting fit!!!
2: Every week i'm going to tailor make a work out tape that will be custom made to the rhythm of your running schedule!!! Slow jams for walking, party jams for running!!
3: Word! You get fit AND get a new Spod record! Every week!!!
4: The guys n gals will be wowsering at your babeatude.
5: I'll be blogging about my progress after every run! WOW....
6: Hopefully by Week 9 we'll all be addicted to running and super fit and will enjoy being alive and everything!!!
7: THE INTERNET!!!!

Now, I have no idea about fitness, so i'm going to use this website my friend showed me for their work out plan for two reasons. 1. Its seems to be a good plan. 2. It's called Cool Running!!! Mon! Now follow this link and bookmark the workout, or just click here to download the workout. Now your ready!!!! They make good sense that you shouldn't rush out and run your nutboobs off before your body is ready, so 20 mins to 30 mins, 3 times a week seems totally doable. BUT THERE'S MORE!!!!

Ok, now the exciting bit. Starting on Monday, the 27th of July, i'm going to start uploading SPODs FANTASYZE JAMS!!! 1 for each week, as each week the program changes it's times and goals and i'll program music to go with your running regime. You run 3 times a week, with a day in between each run. Whatever day is good, but i'm going to run Monday, Wednesday & Fridays (or Saturdays if the Friday party steals my will to run), so feel free to run with me. Jazzy.

It's all the excitement of reality TV, mixed with the endless power of the internet, enhanced by the deep realm of fantasy and the ultimate satisfaction of EXERSIZE!!! YOU BE THE JUDGE!!!!

27TH JULY - 21st SEPTEMBER! Stop fantasizing about that new body, dummy!!! FANTASIZE!! WITH SPOD!!!!

WORKOUT SCHEDULE FOR THE 9 WEEKS!
