All Songs Considered

If you like a variety of music and are interested in hearing an eclectic, intelligent mix, check out the All Songs Considered podcast. I've been listening to a show called "The 1980's. Were they really that bad?" (Panel consensus is a definite yes). It's from 9/2/08 and it's a really interesting panel discussion deconstructing why the music's so bad. I'm up to the part where they're discussing bright spots, but even that is sometimes cringeworthy because the engineer keeps fooling around and doing things like playing "Hungry Like The Wolf" when a panelist asked for "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman (other high points were Replacements, REM, Guns and Roses and Talking Heads).
