Post Number Two Hundred, Seventy Five
Posted by Patrick on Friday, February 03, 2006For those of you out there who listen to podcasts, I came across a new one this morning. West-coast radio station KCRW has a good one, a daily radio program called Morning Becomes Eclectic. It's a radio show where musicians and bands come in and play live in-studio kind of music.
The most recent podcast featured a band called The Elected. They were pretty good, and now that I've downloaded the podcast file, I have an mp3 file of their live recording.
I've got a large stash of birthday iTunes gift cards (thanks Kristen!), and new music from something like this might be a good way to spend it. Regular radio is kind of limiting when it comes to playing new music.... lots of the same old stuff (which is sometimes good) and these days rarely anything revolutionary. Local station WBRU might be an exception - they play new and different things occasionally.
The KCRW podcast page is pretty sweet, and links to a few other shows I listen to semi-regularly like Left, Right and Center, The Business, and The Treatment. All good stuff. You don't need an iPod to listen to these shows, but the free iTunes software is a pretty easy way to get the songs and listen to them on your computer.
