right now on the ny times site they're streaming the new cd by The National and there are some songs that would be great to run to - like Bloodbuzz Ohio. This will only be playing til or through tomorrow http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/25/magazine/25national-t.htm

There are several great songs to run to on the new Swell Season cd called Strict Joy. (The Rain, High Horses, The Verb). Swell Season are the Oscar winning songwriters & stars of the film called Once.
