There are many Podcasts on iTunes and it is sometimes difficult to locate what you want. For me, I just want songs to download for free that I would actually listen to on a regular basis. I have found three such Podcasts, KEXP Song of the Day; KCRW Today's Top Tune; and MPR: The Current Song of the Day. If you are interested in them, here are some brief descriptions.

KEXP is based in Seattle and has the largest selection. They have Indie people (people you can't otherwise find on iTunes) as well as more well known names such as Bright Eyes, Arcade Fire, and Modest Mouse. The song that I most reccommend (if that's how you spell it) is You're a Wolf by Sea Wolf.

KCRW has about three songs max to download a day. It changes every day or two days. They have more folkie songs sometimes, but still worth checking out. It's almost like shopping at the Nordstrom rack, you have to be patient to get good deals.

MPR was a recent find and is Minnesota Public Radio. When I checked it today it had a song by Minus the Bear who I believe is form the Pacific Northwest. Yay! They had about five songs, but whether these change per day I do no know.

If you have heard of any of these, I'll be quite embarrassed for forcing this lecture on you so I'll shut up now. Have fun looking through worthy artists you might normally not encounter!
