(cont.) What do you listen to/watch whilst you are rowing?
I just bought a 3-CD compilation of Ella Fitzgerald. It's lovely to listen to but I really don't feel like rowing whilst its on. HELP! Think I need to put The Pixies on next for motivation.

Row to the FS tune(s)
Is it possible to to upload tracks to this site?
I'm thinking that we all contribute a favourite rowing song and compile them into one 60 min (or HM length) downloadable CD.
Does this breach all sorts of copyright?
Will we get sued by the music giants?

It might not be a problem, If the site [portion] is password protected and one person emails the password around.webberg wrote:Does this breach all sorts of copyright?

Make everone that asks for the password sign a thing that says they do not work for a record company and will not give there password to a record company.
That might work, any lawyers around ?

Hey, Dudes!
Hi from a virgin poster... liked this topic as I'm always searching for inspiration.
For blasts I get on well with Queens of the Stone Age - they have a sort of painful loud edge which works well with the less pleasant aspects of lactate build-up. Also the latest loud and crazy bunch - Wolfmother - check'em out if you like Led Zep/Black Sabbath.
For long aerobic pieces, I've got into podcasts (nerdy science stuff) - it takes your mind off the boredome but not that distracting.
All done at the gymn, no ergo at home .
Keep on pulling!

According to John Peel if it wasn't for Lonnie Donegan the music we (some of us) enjoy today would never had happened. I have no reason to argue with JP who is the greatest human being ever. I wonder if JP has access to a model E in heaven?

Podcasts
For JanetS & others...
As I said, pretty nerdy stuff:
Quirks and Quarks from the CBC (Canada)
The Science Show from the ABC (Australia)
Science Friday from NPR (US)
Start the Week & In Our Time from Radio 4
Philosopher's Zone & Occam's Razor from ABC
Science Talk from Scientific American
New Scientist Podcast
The Now Show from Radio 4
French for Beginners from the French Ecole (mais, oui)
Britpod from a bunch of drunk lads in Cornwall
I got all these via iTunes but they can be gotten directly from the source websites, I believe, and they're all free, which is clearly cool, and they're updated frequently (no boredom issues).
I haven't checked for anything new for a while but there's shed loads out there (oh, I forgot a Runner's World episode which has James Cracknell talking about motivation & training for the marathon) so happy rowing!
