Sitting around all day eating Jimmy Dean Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick? Thinking about entering The Biggest Loser/*Dance Your Ass Off*, but can’t be fucked getting off the couch to fill out the forms? Don’t fret, SPOD is here to help.
From Monday (July 27), the Sydney party machine will be releasing a series of weekly exercise “tapes” designed for the non-runner; the couch potato who wants to get fit, but just can't find the time or the motivation to really make it happen. Part exercise, part fantasy, “Fantasyze With SPOD” is described as melding “the excitement of reality TV, mixed with the endless power of the internet, enhanced by the deep realm of fantasy and the ultimate satisfaction of EXERSIZE!!!”. Make of that what you will.
The series of weekly jams – some made for walking, others for partying and running – will be available via download from SPOD’s blog until September 21. At the end of the series, SPOD will begin writing a recording a new album, the follow-up to last year’s acclaimed LP (by us, at least) Superfrenz.

Fantasyze!
Should have left the ''Up'' off the headline.
no, just moved it to before ''You''.
Woo!
I was at that gig in the pic. Amazing.
yesss
It's lucky too, because I've totally been doing this:
PUMP!
Awesome.
Spod, last year I met Har Mar Superstar and I asked him about you. I said ''remember when you first came to Australia for Livid festival, you met that guy Spod that everyone compared you to?''
And Har Mar didn't like hearing that. He is still raw. He REALLY didn't like hearing that.
Serious? Ahh life...
is anyone else actually going to do this? I am...
I'm keen.
Have been waiting for someone to kick some motivation my way.
Well played SPOD, my Giovanni weight'll fall like a deck of cards, checkmate!
I'm doing it! Tomorrow night! It's up there now if you want to grab it in off peak, around 35 meg

that video is fucking awesome
I'm gonna go run this shit!!!
this is awesome
the next series you do could be entitled ''Sexersyze''.
Exersize is the new sex
really loved the first track put up! paired nicely with the rest of my walking/jogging music for the day (trans am's futureworld)
this track sounds great! Spod is clearly an ideas man.
the shit is available as a podcast on iTunes now. NO EXCUSES!! CLICKY CLICKY!!
Is the blog version high quality? As in, perhaps, radio quality?
Listened to it twice already. You should do a series of ''work music'', with inspirational quotes
i'll be digging out the sweat bands and taking it to the streets of north fitz tomorrow!
It's at 192, I can up a higher res version if you like, but it's totally good enough for radio.
2SER have gotten behind it like the legends they are!!!
go 2ser!
how, are they playing it all the time?
I'm going to try and do the same thing, thanks Spod!
can you do a ''pumping iron'' one for the gym?
i hate personal trainers, but i don't mind Spod.
They were going to play the whole thing every week, but are now going to edit it into 5 minute bits I think. Whatever they do is totally cool with me!
Fantasyze 2: Erectric Boogaroo will be epic.
Week 2 is up now, featuring Richard In Your Mind as guest Fantasyzers! It's a journey that some may never return from!

anonymous.

''And Har Mar didn't like hearing that. He is still raw. He REALLY didn't like hearing that.''
yeah har mar is worried about spod, he is making his own movie and is also rich from songwritting royalties. raw.
Yeah, he'd be petrified, you're right!

Fantasyze Week 7 is up feat. a synthadelic journey by Spod + Chris & Myles of Palace of Fire = Palace of Fantasy!
Is week 5a, 5b and 5c different music but the same talky bits...? Perplexing!
not sure, didn't get that far, but i'd assume so (as the runs are different lengths)
week 8 is out, wonder who's got this far through without a hiccup (not me, but back on the wagon again)
Not really, as non says, each workout is different lengths, so I reprogrammed the music, but left some of the vox, but changed a bunch of them. No real point to change everything.
WEEK 9 IS UP NOW!!! FINAL WORKOUT! Feat. Spods Classique Hits
ok, so I'm a little bit slow off the mark.
I did day one, week one of Fantasize today and boy did I feel AMAZING! I was smiling at teh funnies and feeling encouraged by the encouragers and I even saw a baby kingfisher down near Camperdown oval.
Now things are starting to ache but I know it's worth it.
THANKS SPOD!! Can't wait till Wednesday!
Also, just after Fantasizing I went in a yacht race and I worked my arse off on the winches and the pulling sheets and things and we came second.
Upper body and lower body awesome!
