I should get a workout playlist.

I saw another thing sort of like this. An APP where they give you prizes for exercising. Seems like a good idea, though I'm not sure what the company running it gets out of it. I'll have to check out the website.

I'm not a fan of "The Coug" (what some locals around here call him).  I used to like some of his stuff, until I moved to his stomping grounds.  I have lots of friends in the services businesses (waiters, cashiers, etc.), and have heard many first hand accounts of him not treating the wait staff that well.  He doesn't have a very good reputation among the locals around here.  Also, in all the recent interviews I've heard from him, he came off as very pretentious.  All of that with the fact that his music gets overplayed around here has just turned me off.  I've never met him myself, so I'm reserving final judgement, but I don't really enjoy his music anymore.

Our ex-roommate's ex-wife turned me off of Bad Company a little bit too.  Long story short, she was a Bad Company groupie back in the day, and she screwed my friend over.  So now I can't hear Bad Company without thinking about her.  Luckily, I have many pleasant memories associated with Holy Water in particular, including many dates with my husband, that put the balance back in my favor.  It's not Bad Company's fault whatsoever (well, maybe Bucket's for sleeping with the, er, um, you-get-my-point [if what she says is true]), but it does taint my enjoyment a bit.
