The KEXP or KCRW of Europe

Best alternative-music podcasts in Western Europe and Latin America? I would like to know: what are the best alternative-music podcasts from Western Europe and Latin America?

There are several U.S. podcasts I enjoy on the iPod, such as KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic and Today's Top Tune; KEXP's Song of the Day; NPR's All Songs Considered and World Cafe.

These play artists like Loudon Wainwright, Rodney Crowell, Damien Rice, Magic Numbers, Zap Mama, Iron and Wine, Jim White, Conor Oberst, Kings of Convenience, Jose Gonzalez, Okkervil River, Julieta Venegas, Calexico, etc.

But I would like to know more about podcasts that feature such music beyond the U.S., preferably in English, or a Romance or Germanic language.

Thank you for any information.

I'm shopping for in-ear headphones for use with a new iPod.

I'm shopping for in-ear headphones for use with a new iPod. Recommendations? Reviews? [MI] I'm getting an iPod, and I want a nice, portable set of headphones to go along with it. I use a Grado SR80 at home, and considered finding a pair of full-sized sealed headphones for travel, but I don't think I want to lug them around. I'm looking to spend $200 at the most, and am thinking about either the Etymotic ER-6i or the Shure E3C.

Any other recommendations or experience with the above headphones? (Oh, and I won't be using an amp.)

Noise cancelling headphones for under 100 dollars?

Good noise-cancelling headphones for under $100? I'm moving into new work quarters where I'll be in a cubicle-type environment. I need headphones that will dampen the noise from my amiable-but-loud co-workers. I'm used to just hooking up the ole IPOD to my stereo speakers, but that won't do in the new space where I have no door. I don't like the buds that come with the IPOD. Any ideas?
