Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Since I suddenly have a surfeit of space, I've been going a little crazy with the downloading. I was wondering--what podcasts/vodcasts do you guys subscribe to? Doing some savvy browsing around iTunes has brought up a lot of stuff I really dig, like the World Cafe Live and some americana/alt-country podcasts. What about ya'll?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Aside from the ones already mentioned, I like:
The Sound of Young America-- particularly good if you are interested in comedy or hip hip
Jordan Jesse GO! -- a talk show from the people behind TSOYA above
The Hollywood Saloon-- for the most ridiculous kind of nerdliness about film, like two-hour paeans to Shane Black and equally lengthy disquisitions on the 30 different versions of Star Wars.
Filmspotting, actually far less trainspotting-y about movies

I really wish that CNN offered Anderson Cooper 360 and MSNB offered the full Countdown with Keith Olbermann instead of the highlights show the put up, but I guess you can't have everything. I also listen to Slate Explainer, the NYT Ethicist, The Onion Radio News, and the NBC Nightly News vodcast, as well as one or two other things I can't remember because they aren't on the ipod right now.

I dropped that Alan Watts one pretty fast. I like and respect the guy, but his delivery was of the snooze.
