How Glad I Am

My Podcast Playlist is a bit eclectic

• Accident Hash – A Boston based music show playing “podsafe” music. I liken it to college radio for the 30something set
• Cast On – A knitting podcast, which doesn’t do it justice in any way, good music, good stories and some yarn talk thrown in.
• Fit-Pod – workout mixes
• Jaybird’s Endless Boundaries – Used to be just a phish podcast, now mostly jam bands
• Looking Out The Window – The stories behind the songs
• Managing The Gray – New Media Marketing
• MCLA Podcast – my podcast for the college
• Nugcast – More jam bands
• The Dead Show – A weekly hour of the best live Grateful Dead music
• This American Life – you know that quirky NPR show

Most of the new music shows I’ll enjoy, but not really pay attention to. Every once in a while, a song will grab hold of me. Last year, around this time, I heard Noam Weinstein’s “When I Get My Shit Together” on Cast On and that became our family anthem for the summer, my children loved singing along (yes, I am the worst mommy ever). This past spring, it was Black Lab’s “Mine Again” which I still listen to frequently, but I mistakenly bought the album and not just the single on I-Tunes, and found the rest of the album wasn’t up to the same standard.

Just a few days ago, I was listening to Nugscast and was blown away by a song called “How Glad I Am” by the Grayboy Allstars. This is a poppy love song, which isn’t usually my thing, but the song has a hook, the singing is fantastic and it just may be the best single of 2007.

If you’ve got a buck, download the song and tell me what you think (or you can listen for free by downloading the podcast – http://www.nugs.net/nugscast/070418.aspx)
