sweatin’ to the indies

Any time I spend a Saturday night at home, I listen to the CBC Radio 3 broadcast, and the next couple Saturdays I hope to stay in because it's coming to an end! Sooner or later I'll have to get serious and get Sirius. The podcast will still be available to non-Sirius subscribers, but it's a lot shorter than the broadcast. This week's theme was "Sweatin' to the Indies." I love that because I'm always looking for a good playlist for the gym! They play way too much dude music, but I dig it anyway. I bet Krissy tuned in, if she was home!

Host Grant Lawrence usually has ridiculous tales of things that happen to him, and this week it was about getting the cord of his iPod caught on the handle of the stationary bike at the gym, then falling into a cactus and being upset that there are potted cacti in the gym. Hilarious!

And dang, it was the last time Nardwuar would be on while it's on analog radio. He told funny stories about the gym and gym attire, and played his band's song, "Get Off the Treadmill."

Here's Broken Social Scene working out (the boys only):

There’s a small contingent of scrawny indie rock guys at my gym, but Geddy Lee is never there critiquing their performance!

Anyone have any other song recommendations for working out? 4/4 timing is a must, and a faster tempo to get my heart rate in the 160 range. The tempo in some indie rock goes all over!
