pick (podcast?) of the week

The Contrast Podcast is based on a cool idea. Each week, a theme is announced, and anyone is invited to pick a song based on the theme, record themselves giving a little introduction to the song, and send the intro and song in. The submissions are compiled on a first-come, first-included basis into a ~1 hour set for the week's episode. The handful of episodes I've listened to so far are somewhat hit and miss (songs by actors, for example, can range from somewhat funny to truly painful), but a good theme turns up some pretty cool stuff. My favorite so far is episode 45, My Favorite 45.

Next week's theme will be Why? (They've already apparently done who, what, when, and where.) So for kicks I typed "why" in my itunes search box. Check out what popped up.
