I want my new music track of the day!

Help me find a new 'new music track' podcast!
Over the last few years I found some fantastic music via the CBC 3 "New music track of the day", and to some degree XM Radio's "Weekly New Music" podcasts.
Some of the artists I came across and was so glad to find:
Land of Talk
Ox
Hannah Georgas
Bent by Elephants
Luke Doucet
Julie Fader
Hawksley Workman
many more I can't remember now. But CBC 3 ended the "track of the day" last year, and XM Radio ended their similar version a couple of years ago. They were great, handy little podcasts that I could listen to without having to be tied to a schedule or computer. I also miss the insight and commentary from the DJ's about the artists that you don't normally get in a block of songs on the radio. Sadly CBC changed their website and I can't even find the old podcasts there or on iTunes any longer (same for the XMU show). I know CBC 3 still has similar programs but I can't listen to the radio just anytime so the podcasts were a handy way of making them accessible when I wanted.
Is there something similar out there in cyber-land that offers the same sort of thing?

I like Indiefeed.
I usually let the tracks pile up for a month or two then listen to a bunch of new tracks all at once.

Seconding immlass --- those would be the three I'd recommend as well.

Why not the Radio 3 Podcast with Grant Lawrence? It's on iTunes, it's linked on R3's website, etc.
Or are you particularly looking for a track-a-day type thing?

Do a search for radio stations' track-of-the-day feeds, especially KEXP, Minnesota Public Radio's The Current, and KCRW.

This thread is closed to new comments.
All are available on iTunes and I think on the new iOS podcast app as well.
