Song of the day

So, I'm a BlackBerry (or CrackBerry) gal. Not by choice, but because that is what "The Man" has supplied and pays for. Needless to say, its browser and "app" capabilities are minimal to nil. This makes me defunct in most things that relate to iPhones which in turn means that I had always been hesitant to explore iTunes beyond my minimal purchasing of songs. 
Oh but whoa haste my companions! I have discovered PODCASTS!!! ... and they are FREE! (oh my thin wallet is so very appreciative!)
Podcast #1 that I stumbled upon is "Song Of The Day"- uhhhhh, yes please! Its brought to us by KEXP our ever so friendly NPR station all the way out there in Seattle, WA. This little nugget has been invaluable for work and my auditory pleasure. Its always fresh, always diverse, typically something I've never heard- which is getting harder to claim.
Any how, Song of the Day has given me just that- and it tallies around 450 songs thus far. Thank you VERY much! My iPod nano is ever grateful and will never bore me with the same loop of 1200 songs ever again. 
If you are into new music- and open to many genres- give this baby a little download. You'll find things you didn't know existed! Ambient, soul, indie, folk, metal, noise-pop, gospel- it all makes it way into the playlist. 
Listen up.
