Hippie Workout Teaser Powered by Bisco

Did you guys get a chance to check out the latest LMB podcast yet? If you haven’t, make you sure you check that shit out and throw this address into iTunes so you get all the new podcasts in the future:

I was psyched when I heard the idea from Whit, and I think it really came out well overall. Jamband music itself and any long stretches and expanses of instrumental music lend themselves nicely as workout background music, and at times you’d find yourself clicking your iPod up to 11 when the jam starts to get heavy. Hell, Nike and LCD Soundsystem teamed up last year to create a 45-minute track designated specifically for workouts. I think Whit might be onto something here.

While we work to continue to kick around some ideas on future mixes, keep commenting or emailing us new ideas for what you’d want playing in your ears when you hit the treadmill. When I eventually work one up, I can guarantee that you’ll get part of this jam shown in the video below.

When the beat drops out on this and the band really locks in — right at about 3:30 — 60% of the time, I get chills every time.

    I avoided commenting on the last Hippie Workout post because Bisco=no bueno in my opinion.

    When I first started working out, I was listening to a lot of WSP because the hard-driving facemelters always came when I needed a boost of energy, and the mellow tunes were a good way to cool off.

    I quit carrying the mp3 player at the gym because I didn’t like it falling out of my shorts pocket all the time, and the earphones would slip out when I got sweaty.

    This is a perfect mix. Its pretty much what I rock when working out. Throw in some New Deal, and STS9 and you have my play lists. Good stuff thanks for the choice peaks.

    I loved the first workout mix. Song selection was on-point, especially the Shelby>Crix, and I loved that it was all pre-Allen. I could’ve handled less-edited jams and a longer over-all mix, but I was pleased.

    I was also happy that the girls in that YouTube video found Andy. He’s such a great guy.
