It may be worth noting that the episode of This American Life mentioned in the show ("The Break Up") had an associated contest in which listeners were invited to remix or cover a particular song featured in one of its segments. (Written in the course of one of its segments, actually.) About fifteen of the best entries are online, in addition to the two original versions.
(Very minor nitpick: the show's a production of PRI, not NPR.)
The playlist has some songs out of order. "Against All Odds" comes before "I Kissed a Girl".
Mmm. That Lenni Jabour track was really nice.
