| Nope. I have 766 songs on my ipod and that's not one of them. My favorite running song is "Believe" by the Chemical Brothers. |

Good call, you might want to check out "Crystal Method" or "Fischerspooner" if you like the Chemical Bros. Good beats for music.

Not a Springsteen fan. I have two iPods, a shuffle and a 30gb. Plenty of good running music, Metallica, Green Day, Korn, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, Zeppelin, AC/DC, etc.
Lots of electronic music too, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Fat Boy Slim. |

There is a Nike+ workout on iTunes by Crystal Method called "Drive." It is excellent. Peaches has some great remixes that are fantastic for running, too. |

Used to have hours or playlists for gym workouts and spinning, with Crystal Method, Propellerheads, the brothers Chemical as well as Dust, and whatever industrial had good elecro beats such as late Frontline Assembbly. Here's wishing DJsteve used that stuff too, hehe.

I do now! Bruce is coming to town this summer. I can't get anybody to go to the concert with me. BUt now I'm torn, because the other great ticket this summer is The Police/Elvis Costello. It's an outdoor concert - it would be great, but so would Springsteen. I'll probably miss both, with my luck!

Funny, I made a discovery today - I have this CD "Blowback" by a guy called Tricky and I've always found it difficult to listen to - it's good, but it's very "agressive" and always leaves me feeling vaguely angry. So, I played it while running today - instant PB for the course AND it made me forget it was sleeting and blowing a gale out there  |

| I only use tunes on the treadmill. Lately, I switched from my well-worn DopeRunnin' Groovz playlist to some of the Podrunner mixes by our own DJ Steveboy Boyett. I've been pretty pleased -- I thought the repetition would wear on me, but it's quite the opposite -- I seem to zone out into a trance, and the next thing I know another mile has flown by. |

Most of the big-beat stuff is really Fatboy Slim and the Chemical Brothers, both of whom are on major labels from whom licensing is either ruinously expensive or just plain impossible to get. Big beat also sounds really weird when you play it fast. Those long booooms are meant to resound for a bit and are generally recorded in the 125 BPM neighborhood. At 150 it's gone and sounds like some kind of chopped-up breakbeat.
Afraid I never was much of an Industrial puppy.

Here's an interesting story about that mix and Nike.
When Podrunner first hit, we negotiated with Nike for sponsorship. Podcasting was still relatively new and corporate sponsorship was nonexistent, and here I was at the top of iTunes talking to NIKE, ferchrissake. They got all kinds of info from us -- demographics, methodology, blah blah -- and then just ... went away. Wouldn't return calls. Didn't answer queries.
Two weeks later Nike announced the Nike Sport Kit device. I went berserk -- this thing was genetically engineered for Podrunner! What gives?
Two weeks after that, iTunes announced the Crystal Method workout mix for Nike Sport Kit in a special Nike section of iTunes. Golly, what an amazing coincidence.
The karma on that was wonderful: a lot of people posted iTunes reviews about how lousy the CM mix was, and how there was a ton of free Podrunner mixes right over this way. My listenership doubled within two weeks of the CM mix's debut.
I like Crystal Method as DJs and doubt they knew anything about me when they were contacted by Nike. But I did read an interview with them in which they said, no, we're not runners, but we talked to friends who run. Not easy to come by that level of of commitment and research nowadays. |
