Boo!

Something freaky this way comes, and there’s nothing like a little pre-Halloween spooking to get your wogging feet moving. This week’s wog features nine songs about ghosts, zombies, and even fear itself. So let those deliciously frightful shivers set your heart a-thumping! But don’t go too fast or you’ll attract evil spirits. And then the fastest feet in the world won’t help you...unless you go to Podwogging.com and pick another wogging set!

Yabba ABBA do!

ABBA has experienced a revival of sorts with the release of the Mamma Mia movie, but you hardly need a film to experience their insanely catchy pop. Their music is very70s, but unlike some of the forgettable pop from that era, their songs still have a crisp melody-driven edge that’s still perfect for dancing—or wogging. You won’t find Wogging Queen (this week’s wog) to be intense, either lyrics-wise or pace-wise, with only a couple of jogs sprinkled in, but none of the walking songs drag. This one’s perfect for a fun stroll in the hills. Take a chance! Complete list at Podwogging.com.

Progressive Obsessive

Ready for a vigorous, one-hour mix of progressive rock you can actually walk and jog along to? Progressive Obsessive is this week’s wog. It features rhythmically consistent music from Pink Floyd, Rush, Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Kansas, and Alan Parsons Project, as well as the lesser-known Saga, Uriah Heep, Hawkwind, and FM. You’ll find no endless noodling or instrumental pyrotechnics here, but they all feature clever guitar and keyboards. Not obsessed yet? Check out the playlist at Pogwogging.com!

I want my Straits

Blending Mark Knopfler’s slightly Dylanesque vocals with skiffle beats and roots guitar, the Dire Straits were the closest thing to a mainstream British bar band in the 70s and 80s. The result is a laid-back sound, with an occasional venture into hip sarcasm, that makes for pleasant walking music in this week’s wog. Want a nice groove to accompany your stroll through fall colors? The Straights might be your ticket. Check out Wog of Life at Podwogging.com.
