Heard it through the grapevine...

Ok so I am a recent convert to the Ipod family...my excuse is that I got it as a gift and that means quite a bit to me. And the one thing that i cant seem to get enough are Podcasts!!

I mean think about it, what is so unique about it as a product in itself. Its just a glorified mp3 file after all aint it. But Apple must get a lot of credit for promoting it the way that they have, which in turn has almost made Podcasts a fashion statement. I am still quite a bit of a newbie to this world of podcasts but here are a few of my faves( I am still figuring out all the podcasts available for free via Itunes so all of these are available via Itunes)

1. Best of YouTube - no need for a plug for this one. Really what more can you ask for then somebody sorting out all the good stuff from youtube and sending it out to you

2. Tiesto's Club Life - One hour mixes by Tiesto. Whoopeee!

3. NPR Jazz Profiles- Full hour specials on Charlie "Bird" Parker, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis. From the best radio channel in the US.

4. The Ungodly Hour - a weekly show featuring some really nice Goth and Industrial Music. Plus the hosts have this habit of making of fun of all things religious so it makes the really very funny.

Something new for the blog today. Posting a video of a song that i really like from Youtube. Hoping to make that more of regular feature from now on, on this blog. Song from the Claire Danes starrer Brokedown Palace called Damaged by some band called Plummet. This song became quite a rage when it was remixed by Andain sometime last year or the year before that. But i really love the original though.
