Crawpuppies
Shibuya Crossings
Alyse Black is back. I played 2 of Alyse's tunes on past episodes. Now this rising star on the Austin scene has given us 4 more great tracks for pod play.
Here's 40 minutes with plenty of running in the 170s. Please be sure you're in shape for fast running. The most important thing is to run safe.
My thanks goes to Alyse for her great music and for making it readily available for the show.
I'm also grateful to Cyber PR, Tomas Doncker, Charity Chapman, and Shibuya Crossings, Aaron of the Crawpuppies, and Brett Low for their generous contributions.
And to Troy Lee Warden, also from Austin, for his great intro.
Enjoy the show and may your next run be your best one.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SHOW
The JogTunes Indie
Podcast is
a 30 to 60 minute
podcast that's meant to
be “run to.”
By that we mean it’s
intended to be listened
to while you’re
running.
Well, that was the original intent. Turns out, most indoor cyclist, aquarunners, users of
stairmasters, ellipticals and mini-trampolines, and even swimmers, may find these
shows great for working out exactly to the tempos of indie music.
The songs are selected
and sequenced solely
for working out exactly
to the beat of the
music. The shows begin
with a brief introduction
and a warm-up tune usually
in the 110-130 BPM
range. This is followed
by a series
of tunes
that begins in the
140-150 range and
usually peaks with
tunes in the BPM range
of 170-185. The sequence
slows back down to
a cool-down in the
110-130 range.
Some episodes may have a "sprint segment" which follows a cool-down tune at around 15 minutes toward
the end of the episode. This segment is a short, fast set that ends with a final cool-down track. Some users may need to keep their workout short and stop with the first cool-down while others may want to complete the full episode.
Dr. Bob, the founder of
JogTunes.com, is the producer and host.
He provides introductions
to the songs along
with the BPM details.
The indie artists' tunes are podsafe and come from many resources. Our main, podsafe, tune-download resources are the
Mevio's Music Alley and the Independent Online Distribution Alliance (IODA)'s
promonet and
Ariel's Cyber PR.
Dr. Bob finds many bands and tunes from other podcasters' shows. Listings of these shows can be found on sites such as
The Alliance for Music Podcasting,
blubrry.com,
Mevio, and, of course, the iTunes Music Store. There are also many websites that are dedicated
to indie music and provide lists of bands and their works. Finally,
many of the bands have promoters who announce new tunes and albums by email. This is a great way to come across some fine indie music.
Most of the tunes on the playlists are available via our links to the
iTunes Music Stores in the
US, the UK, Irelend, Canada, and Japan. Some of the songs
can be purchased by clicking
on links to Amazon/MP3, the
Podsafe
Music Network (PMN) or through links to the artists' and/or their promoters' websites.
We play many artists promoted by Cyber PR. Here's more:
Ariel Publicity, a Music PR firm with an 11-year history of delivering results for independent musicians has recently launched a new service to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of the Music Business. It's called Cyber PR and it works like a matchmaking site for artists that expose you to online PR opportunities. Click
