Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
Dear lord how do you guys possibly listen to all that? I mean, I'd like to, but - no.
I just went and looked up the PRI show Afropop Worldwide (which I love but haven't heard in 5 years - and it does podcast!) and discovered that the host's name is Georges Collinet. I had been envisioning "Josh Geline" (he has a strong accent.)

I listen to them mostly on my walk to work and anytime I'm travelling on buses. Some definitely get listened to more than others. The daily ones I cull fairly regualrly.
I generally listen to a few going to and from work and catch up on longer ones over the weekend if there's time. Some I just delete if they've gone overripe.
I should say that I hear about a lot of bands I end up liking from the two KEXP podcasts. KEXP also went above and beyond for SXSW, adding 10 30-min. live performances in 3 days, including the Stooges, Okkervil River, Beirut, and the Apples in Stereo.
Excellent! I've been looking to add stuff to listen to on my walks. For the moment, I only subscribe to:

ETA: Grrr, line breaks again!
I dropped that Alan Watts one pretty fast. I like and respect the guy, but his delivery was of the snooze.
Good to know; I might drop it after I give it a try, because I've heard good things about the guy but if I zone out while listening, what's the point?

I also like the shorter ones, because if I'm just walking to the store or something they're a quick burst of intelligence for the ambulation.
I keep seeing oblique references about the RIAA, and people figuratively stuffing their music under their mattresses. I'm guessing this is due to the RIAA going after university students for filesharing?
Yes, pretty much. Salon has a pretty thorough article today about some of the recent court decisions affecting the RIAA's lobby efforts: [link]
Gracias, Corwood.

What's this one?
It's an indie music podcast from the guy who does this blog. It's pretty good, but I don't listen to it as much as I used to.
