OT: The Thread About Nothing Part 190: Terrorists, Wild Trout, Microbeers, and Stuff

You could try this and see if it's listed. http://jog.fm/workout-songs

That worked, thanks. I dont run (unless someone's chasing me with a knife) so I didnt know there were sites that list songs by bpm depending on how far you want to run. What a cool idea.

what are you listening to that the bpm is so high its hard to keep track of?

Maxim gets it wrong again. Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Rihanna are the top 3 in their Hot 100 and my future wife Anna Kendrick isn't even on the list.

The popcorn song.

Seriously? Nobody likes Suck?

 

[CerebralGenesis]

miley cyrus is #1? Is that a joke?

Maybe it's my lack of ear talent, but I think anything over 115 or so is tough to nail down. Is it 115, 125, 130? It's too fast for me to hear/think anywhere near precision.

I think Rihanna is gross, Selena Gomez looks like she's 15, and there's probably at least 1 woman in the bar at least as attractive as Miley Cyrus, let alone the entire nation.

I've never heard of them.

My guess? Some crazy violin thing.

120 is generally accepted as that 'WTF?' range IMHO, since it's 2x a second.

 

[MartyOwns]

in all fairness, rihanna's forehead took up spots 4-11

Honestly, I dig it

Kate Beckinsale <3

Ashley Benson gets no love either. And yes Anna Kendrick has votes from me.

The popcorn song.

I'm guessing a little over 120. But I'm tapping to the movements to a clock so it's got a large margin for error

I'm gonna go about 145 on that, but you can see how guessing is harder than it seems.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I don't know but I would guess it at 130

*edit.

appears to be about 128

[Nick0930]

Nah, it's 119.

 

[MartyOwns]

im getting 121.5

Right

although, in my mind, the difference from say 119 to 128 is negligible.

And I had about 20 taps in around 9-10 seconds so it seemed like slightly over 120 was a good guess.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

these things are creepin' me out!

 

[MartyOwns]

almost bought shoes with the toes...didnt have the balls

I want a pair maybe.

The archs on my feet are constantly driving me bananas. Perhaps removing that aspect of running would be great, although there is less protection from the elements and pavement.

 

[Cowbell232]

I don't run enough to justify spending money on shoes I don't need and might not even like.

I also think they look stupid, but if they work, they work.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

ok so if you wear those socks with these shoes - wouldn't your toes be so far apart they would feel super weird?

aaaah! stop that

 

[BenedictGomez]

Really wanted to go fishing today, but the rivers will be flowing too fast with the torrential downpour from yesterday.

The people who own socks/shoes like those are the same (adult) people who own Crocs.
