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.

Here are the artists, their locations, and the resources I consulted to find them:

By Personal Communication

Louinel Jean - Jamaica - BPM of 163

Rob Szabo - Ontario, Canada - 160

From CyberPR

Jessie Murphy In the Woods - New York - BPM of 169

Nick Dougherty - Los Angeles - 168

Trey Green - Boston - 166 and 168

This is the first episode of the JTIP that features New Age music. I also introduce to the BPM running world the music of Faith Rivera. I first heard Faith sing live in California several weeks ago.

Here's the breakdown:

The intro selected specifically for the New Age theme of this episode is by a veteran performer on the JTIP: Momo-J.

Who better to play for a full hour of running than the consummate singer/songwriter, keyboardist, music podcaster/blogger, internet geek, and trailblazing music entrepreneur, Matthew Ebel?

Even more impressive is his great music and there's plenty that's available for podcasters. I've selected Matthew's most runnable tracks for this show. I think you'll love matching your pace to this one. I know I did.

As a jazz drummer, I must admit that I'm partial to the genre. This episode is the second show on which jazz is the predominant genre. It's virtually all jazz, smooth, hot, cool, and classic.

Searching jazz tunes for those with workout tempos takes a bit more time. Many tracks lack strong beat definition and many are quite long in duration. I admit that I wound up including some long tunes which is a departure from the usual 3 to 5 minute lengths but I think I found some tunes with fairly well defined beats. Some syncopation here and there may be a diversion but most of the time the beats are clear.

Most of the tunes are from my usual sources: the Independent Online Distributions Alliance's Promonet and the Podsafe Music Network. I'm grateful to them along with UK's Green Dragon Media and Sweden's UNA Promotion.

Here's the artist line-up:

From UNA Promotion:

Magdalena Konefal - BPM 163

From Green Dragon Media:

mamacoca - BPM 107

Will 2 Power - BPM 137

Digital - BPM 176

From the Podsafe Music Network:

Doug Ferony - BPM 186

Jeso - BPM 141, 157

B. D. Lenz - BPM 144

From the IODA's Promonet:

Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band - BPM 173

Jamie Cullum - BPM 160

The Groovematist - BPM 171

As always, I welcome your comments. Please send them to comments at jogtunes.com or post them on our JogTunes.com facebook fan page. I'm particularly interested in knowing whether the longer tracks worked for you during your workouts.

On this 2nd anniversary edition of the JTIP, I feature indie tunes from the 4 R's: Rock, Reggae, Rap, and R & B. As I did on the first anniversary episode, I've brought back some our veteran artists. I then went to the Independent Online Distributions Alliance's Promonet and the Podsafe Music Network to find music from the 4 R's. I found so many great tracks that I compiled them into a 1 hour show. It's divided into 2 convenient 30-minute segments, each with a peak pace in the 180s, divided by a relative slower cool down R & B tune at 142 BPM by Jump Back Jake.

I also consulted a veteran source of fine indie bands. That's Paulie Podcaster and his show, The DigiVegas Podcast.

Here are the artists:

From The DigiVegas Podcast:

Woodfish - BPM 178

The returning artists:

The Alice Project - BPM 130

Bitter:Sweet - BPM 160

Justin Hopkins and the Guilt - BPM 150

From the Podsafe Music Network:

In This Moment - BPM 183

Ashanti - BPM 112

Dirty Heads - BPM 159, 174

From the IODA's Promonet:

Dozer - BPM 178

The Itals - BPM 168

Stevie Culture - BPM 161

Ky-Mani Marley - BPM 158

Ivana Santilli - BPM 159

Old, new, borrowed, blue. It's a familiar word sequence that usually refers to things having to do with marriage. I borrowed it to summarize the tunes on this episode. "Old" and "new" refer to returning artists performing tunes I haven't yet played and artists I haven't yet played.

"Borrowed?" Well it's a stretch but I'm referring to the tune by Nine Inch Nails that I kind of borrowed for podplay. Actually, you probably know that NIN made their latest album free for all of us. I couldn't wait to play the famous label band on a J-TIP episode.

"Blue" is pretty obvious. I've got 2 R & B tunes on the show. One is smooth, the other is classic blues. Both are fun runs.

This is a 50 minute workout session with the usual regular run session followed by the 15 minute sprint segment. Here are the artists:

"Old" (Returning Artists):

Santa Marias

Two Loons for Tea

Gamble Mansion

Justin Hopkins and the Guilt

The Alice Project

Common Ground

Momo-J

"New":

The Bromptons

Revolution 74

Trash Fashion

"Borrowed" and "New":

Nine Inch Nails

"Blue" and "New":

Andre Delano

Lil” Ed and The Blues Imperials

This episode goes "Pop"! You may not agree that every tune is of the pop genre, but then who ever said that assigning genres is a no brainer. For this show I picked tunes that are designated "pop" by the sources of the tunes, i.e. by the Podsafe Music Network and IODA's promonet.

On the PMN I found:

3 Blind Mice

A Band Called Quinn

Common Ground

Curiosity Shop

On IODA's promonet, I came across:

Hot Little Hands

Les Philippes

Jo De La Rosa

Tyler Hilton

On this show I'm bringing something old and something new to the J-TIP. "The old" is a return back to our usual format of two segments: the first is 30 minutes with warm-up, full workout, and cool-down sessions, and the second is a 15 minute sprint segment that peaks with a 5 minute track running at 184 BPM and winds down with a walk home.

"The new" is the dominant genre: world. For the sake of this episode, world includes music from different countries that reflect the native music of those countries as well as tunes with distinct ethnic flavors that are produced in non-native countries.

From Brazil: Seu Jorge.

From Portugal: Sara Tavares.

From Morocco (now in the Netherlands): Kamal Hors.

From Barcelona, Spain: Cineplexx.

From Jamaica, Greater Antilles: Louinel Jean/Jproject.

JTIP #21 2008.05.30 (45 Minutes) - The Swedes Call It Fartlek

Sat, 31 May 2008 00:16:27 -0600

With this 45 minute episode, I introduce the concept of fartlek training. A Swedish word, because the idea was originated by a Swedish coach, Gösta Holmér, fartlek is a form of interval training where workout paces are varied in an informal manner. It frequently involves short bursts of speed inserted between more relaxed paces.

Most fartlek training sessions are determined by runners or their coaches. While this podcast episode obviously presents a fixed sequence, listeners are invited to go to jogtunes.com to create their own music-paced fartlek sessions from label and indie music in our Tunes List.

Casual runners are cautioned to wear a pulse monitor for this workout and to not exceed 60% of your maximum heart rate. It you have any doubts about your ability to tolerate rapid paces, please work out at slower paces during the speed bursts.

The featured group in this show is Bell Hollow from New York. They provide 3 tunes at BPMs of 121, 130, and 142.

The Autumns make an encore appearance with "Glass Jaw" at 156.

The other artists in this show are:

Gravel

Dive Index

Idiots!

Pure Reason Revolution

Metro Station

More Human Than Human

The 190 BPM speed bursts are from "Five Train" by Sky Cries Mary and the 200 BPM segments are from "Next Time Around" by Asymmetry.

Indoor cyclists can take the JTIP and this fartlek episode for a spin. You can get some hints on cycling to the beat on the Bike Page of JogTunes.com. If you like other fitness modes such as elliptical trainers, stairsteppers, minitrampolines, and aquarunning, check out our Gym/Aqua page

I'm excited about this show because I've put a genre emphasis on alternative music. This is new for the JTIP and I'm eager to find out if listeners enjoy working out to these tunes.

If you've never run to a tune in three-quarter time (a waltz), you'll get your first chance while listening to Pippa Rogers' Day After Day. It really works! The BPM is 152.

From Green Dragon Media I found:

Dialog

Pippa Rogers

Homespun

From IODA (the Independent Online Distribution Alliance) comes:

King of Prussia

Atllas

The Drawbacks

Thanks also go to the following promoters for informing me about their artists:

Kara from Sarathan Records sent me another great tune by Abra Moore whom I previously played on episode #12.

Portia Records introduced me to Respira.

Brianna from Platform One Entertainment alerted me to Athens.

The outro is an encore by Momo-J, from Tokyo.

Please note that episode #6 of this show has was not completely uploaded. I updloaded it again and it's now complete. I know many listeners like to run to previous shows (they never really age, do they?). So please feel free to download it again from iTunes or from my website.

I'm starting off the new year with all new artists, four of whom I found on Paulie Podcaster's DigiVegas Podcast. I'm grateful to Paulie for his recent props of this show and for his expert selection of great indie artists.

I'm following our popular format again on this episode: 30 minutes of music sequenced for warming-up, jogging/running, and cooling-down. This is followed by what I call the 15 minute sprint. It's a sequenced run that rapidly builds to a peak run at a flat out 187 BPM and rapidly slows to a cool-down. Most runners will probably do the whole 45 minute workout. Those who just don't have much time can run just the 30 minute segment.

Here are the artists from the DigiVegas Podcast:

The Muggs

Triphazard

The Clintons

Petiko

I'm introducing Alan Kent Barnette to the indie music scene. His new album is Life from Life's Debris. Alan, a singer/songwriter, teamed up with Troy Lee Warden who produced the album, plays guitar, provides back-up vocals, and wrote some of the music. Fans of the JTIP have heard Troy's work on past episodes, in duos with his wife, Hedda Layne.

The other artists are:

Great Northern

The Kellys

Bitter:Sweet

The intro and show theme is Universal Domain by Dreamline.

The outro is an encore performance by Momo-J .

If you enjoy indoor cycling, take the JTIP for a spin. You can get some hints on cycling to the beat at my website, BikeToTheBeat.com

And thanks for joining me for another fun year of working out to the beat of great indie music.

JTIP #15 2007.11.27 (45 + 15 Minutes) - First Anniversary Edition

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 08:25:56 -0700

For this anniversary edition I decided to reminisce a bit. Most of the songs are by great indie artists who appeared in earlier JTIP shows. I decided not to repeat any tunes, just play new ones by these performers.

Here's what's in store: one hour of music that sequenced in 2 segments, a 45 minute run, and what I like to call a 15 minute sprint.

And something new for the JTIP. The tempos will vary more than in past shows with interval bursts of speed between slower runs. Runners may want to watch their pulse monitors during the 15 minute segment. There's 3 minutes of heart-pounding, 186-BPM running to a fun rock tune by Brother Love.

Here are the artists in order of appearance (some have several tunes on board):

Momo-J (Encore)

Shocking Edison (Encore)

ANTIQCOOL (New to the JTIP)

The Alice Project (Encore)

Two Loons for Tea (Encore)

Beau Hall (New)

Brother Love (Encore)

Bob Gentry (Encore)

Hedda Layne and Troy Lee Warden (Encore) (Disclosure: my daughter-in-law and son)

You can find all of their tunes by entering their names in the artist search field on our podcast tunes page.

A special thanks goes to Adam Curry and the Podsafe Music Network. All of the above artists' songs (except Bob Gentry's and Hedda Layne's) are listed on the PMN and many are for sale there. Adam and the PMN were the first source of tunes for the JTIP and I'm grateful for their help in getting us launched.

I wish to thank Todd Cochrane of the GeekNewsCentral Podcast and blubrry.com for their great support of this show and jogtunes.com, the early promotions, and their service to the podcasting community.

A big thanks also to Adam Christianson of The Maccast for his early and continued promos of jogtunes.com and this podcast.

And, finally, thank you JTIP listener/runners for running with me on this fun trip and for your enthusiasm and support for music-paced running. And thanks to the great artists who generously allow me to play their songs and willingly share their thoughts and comments with me.

JTIP #13 2007.09.27 (45 + 15 Minutes) - The AMP Camp

This our first hour-long episode. That's more great running, with a cool-down after 45 minutes if you don't have the time for the full runset.

This is also the first episode that invites cyclists to pedal to the beat of the tunes on my show. I also give some gear suggestions along the way. Please be warned that cycling to music on a road or trail is dangerous, so I don't endorse road cycling to the podcast. I have greatly enjoyed pedaling on my trainer to the last several episodes and thought listener/runners might enjoy doing the same on a stationary bike, kinetic trainer, or rollers. You can find more information about cycling to the beat on my new website, BikeToTheBeat.com.

I welcome your opinions about the the longer length and cycling to the beat. You can send them to comments@jogtunes.com.

Most of the songs are by artists whose works were played by members of the Association of Music Podcasting (AMP). I'm grateful to AMP and the shows I used as a resource.

Here are the AMP-associated music podcasts and the artists they and I played:

Dave's Lounge: Bitter:Sweet - Peach Stealing Monkeys

Audio Gumshoe: Amanda Bentley - David Lane

Coal Cracker Radio: Junior - Annex

Homegrown Podcast: Matt Nathanson

Indie Music Sampler: Peter Katz and the Curious - Strangers in Wonderland

Journey Inside My Mind: Beatrice Ericsson

Other artists on this show:

Hedda Layne and Troy Lee Warden - Disclosure statement: Hedda and Troy are signed artists. They gave me permission to play their music royalty free. Troy just happens to be my son and Hedda's my daughter-in-law. I really like their music, our family relationship notwithstanding.

Here's another motivating, fun runset for music-paced running in a 2-in-1 format. You can run for 30 minutes to warm-up, peak run, and cool-down tunes, or you can continue for another 20 minutes for a complete 50 minute workout. As in the past 2 episodes, I include a faster run in the second segment after the first cool-down. Overall, the tempos are a bit faster in this episode, so casual runners should do a periodic pulse check. I welcome your opinions about this format. You can send them to comments@jogtunes.com.

The Independent Online Distribution Alliance (IODA) is dedicated to the promotion of great indie music, so I dedicated this J-TIP episode to IODA. All of the tunes are from their distribution website, PROMONET.

Here are the artists' names:

You Say Party! We Say Die!
Abra Moore
Frank Black
Blind Pew
The High Court
Flesh For Lulu
Little Spitfire
Niki Barr
Derek Miller
Hopewell
Two Hours Traffic
Everett Young
H Is for Hellgate

The intro is by Dreamline. The tune is Universal Domain (109 BPM)

The outro is Don't Want It To Stop (128 BPM) by Hedda Layne and Troy Lee Warden, a fine signed duo who happen to also be my daughter-in-law and son.

You're invited to check out the playlist for this episode for more details, including purchase links and band websites supplied by IODA's PROMONET. You can find past shows and all the tunes from these shows at jogtunesindie.com. We can be reached by email at comments@jogtunes.com.

Our 2-in-1 format was so well received I've decided to do it again. For newbies, 2-in-1 means that the songs are synched to provide a 30-minute segment within a 45-minute runset. Runners who just don't have time to complete the 45-minute workout can cool down and stop running at 30 minutes. Everyone else can go for 15 more minutes. The last segment includes a faster sprint before the second cool-down. Please tell us what you think at comments@jogtunes.com.

This show is a tribute to Adam Christianson and his podcast, the Maccast. Adam helped us get jogtunes.com on the map and then gave this podcast a kick start as well. The consummate Mac geek, he loves Macs and he also loves his music. I've searched his shows and found many tunes from his shows that are great for running exactly to the beat. I've included three of them in this episode.

Here are the artists (click to see their websites), songs, and BPMs:

Aroarah - My Biggest Mistake (172 BPM)

Andrew Osenga - Santa Barbara (160 BPM)

The New Addiction - The World is Over (162 BPM)

The other tunes come from a variety of sources. These include solicitations from the bands by email, for which I'm grateful. I've found some great artists this way. The Podsafe Music Network is another source of some of our songs. Sinch's return to the JTIP is from the PMN. Ian Martin also makes an encore appearance. I found him on the Journey Into Soul Podcast.

Ian Martin - You Are (123 BPM)

Rob Szabo - If I Could Do It All Again (149 BPM) - Girlfriends Ghost (162 BPM)

The Sledge Dogs - The Running Man (118 BPM)

Uncle Seth - A Little Bit More (158 BPM)

46bliss - The Way You Are (178 BPM)

Just for fun and a little variety, I'm trying another format in this episode. The songs are synched to provide a 30-minute segment within a 45-minute runset. Runners who just don't have time to complete the 45-minute work-out can cool down and stop running at 30 minutes. Everyone else can go for 16 more minutes. The last segment includes a faster sprint before the second cool-down. Please tell us what you think at comments@jogtunes.com.

A big thanks to two outstanding music podcasters for their help in preparing this episode. The first goes to Ed Uken and his new show, Journey Into Soul. Ed plays a great mix of new soul, jazz, funk, R&B, blues, and electronic music. His first two episodes included music by and an interview with Ian Martin, bassist, producer, and composer. His Tell Me If You Still Care is number two in this runset and kicks us into a nice run at 162 BPM.

Then there's Allan Carr and DarkHorse Radio. Allan's in the UK and plays a wonderfully eclectic mix of indie music from around the world. I found Matt Mays on Allan's show and I'm happy to play Matt's City of Lakes in this show. It's number 6 in the set and runs at 169 BPM.

Here are the artists (click to see their websites), songs, and BPMs:

Dreamline - Universal Domain (109 BPM) (Intro)

Sophia Ramos - Black Madonna (149 BPM) - Girlfriends Ghost (162 BPM)

Matthew is a great talent. We played his own songs on the last podcast (JTIP #2) and visited many of the websites he has designed. His selection of indie artists is outstanding.

The only music-paced running podcast featuring indie music from the Podsafe Music Network (as far as we know).Have you ever wanted to run exactly to the beat of your music but lack the time to calculate the BPMs, sequence the songs in a playlist, and download them to your player? Fret no more. Just subscribe to the JTI Podcast for a fun half-hour of running to great music, selected by me, Dr. Bob, the founder of jogTunes.com. This first podcast features songs that I heard on the Daily Source Code, Accident Hash, and the Maccast. You can see the playlist for this show on our playlist page.

A special thanks goes to the artists for their great songs and to Charlie Crowe for the great lead-in and background music.
