A little tip for discovering good new music (mostly good anyway).
Seattle radio station KEXP have been doing their 'Song of the Day' podcast for quite a few years now, although I wouldn't really call it a podcast as it's just the song with nothing added (i.e. jingles or DJs).
I've been subscribed to this via iTunes since 2007 and each weekday a new song is automatically downloaded. I've come across several great artists and good songs through these downloads. And it's all free! Not every song is a winner, but the strike rate is pretty high. Looking over what I've accumulated over the years shows some pretty impressive names - Bon Iver, The Notwist, Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, Grizzly Bear, MGMT, Four Tet, Caribou, Teenage Fanclub, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart... I'm sure you get the idea.

It's definitely worth a look.
