Bob Boilen continues to prove why he's my number one man chrush by adding really exciting sub-groups to his All Songs Considered podcast.

One is called Project Song. And it's a video cast as well as audio. Bob gives a songwriter a picture and a word and they hafta write a song. The creative process is all right there on tape. Bob asks insightful questions as it goes along. The first one is with Stephen Merritt of the Magnetic Fields and if you're a Lemony Snickett fan, you might know this guy. Non-music people would still love this interesting glimpse into the universal process of creating art.

Also, Bob has added an interview component to his Live Concert series. In a fantastic interview with Spoon, Bob and Brit Daniel talk about what it means to be "obsessed" with music. I was ecstatic to hear two people talk so.... right on about how I feel about music. There's a New Pornographers concert I'm in the middle of right now and I can't wait to get to the interview part.
