It looks like we're definitely relocating from Utah to Texas. To save myself some time during the move, and to give you all a special treat, I've decided to publish one of the JogTunes Indie special runsets for free. So this episode is that runset. The original title is THE JTIP RUNSET #2 - FAR EAST PEACH and it's still available on the
JogTunes Store Page free of long voice-overs for $5.00.
All of the tracks are from the Tokyo
Far East Peach Label. The company's headed by my friend Momo-J, whose works I've been playing since the early days of the show. Momo-J, a consummate composer/arranger/musician, has written and produced extraordinary new age works that blend many essential flavors of Western and Eastern music. The episode contains tracks that are both old and new to the JTIP and written and performed by these Far East Peach artists:
Momo-J
Euclid Rhyme
Nasca
Amir Khan & Hideo Inai
Bam Dorner
Momo-J
I was excited to learn that Momo-J has a new gig writing the music for the popular Japanese Anime, K-On. You can find K-On episodes
here.
As always, I welcome your comments. Please send them to comments at jogtunes.com, post them on our JogTunes.com
facebook fan page, or send me a
tweet.
Thanks for working out with me and enjoy the music!

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
