I've been very impressed recently with NPR's All Songs Considered podcasts. I've downloaded full concerts by The New Pornographers, Spoon, and Nick Lowe. All shows come with Bob Boilen-hosted interviews tacked on at the end, kinda like dessert. Of these three, I think the Nick Lowe performance is my favorite. It's Nick and his acoustic guitar in what sounds like a rather intimate venue. He sprinkles a bunch of the old hits among his new, mellower songs, and he's very chatty and funny throughout. (Dave, you're in for a treat.)
But wait, there's more!
As a bonus, here's Ray Davies as guest DJ on All Songs Considered, playing songs by artists who influenced him growing up.

Very cool! By the way, REM was on Fresh Air last night. Michael seemed really loose and relaxed, he's usually seemed up-tight to me during interviews.
yeah stipe is chillin' in his old age. he was on cbs sunday morning a couple of weeks ago. he's like fifty. shit! i like their new album, but i still think they were better when you didn't know what the hell he was singing.
My sentiments exactly, Mr. McGee.
Make that three.
And that's DOCTOR McGee, Dr. R.
