There's always time for Valentine's Day

It’s six months since Valentine’s Day, but I’m only now getting to the V-Day episode of “All Songs Considered.” But rest assured, this podcast around the theme “Lesser-Known Love Songs” is so good it’ll work any day of the year.

Not only are the song choices eclectic AND superb -- everything from Eric Carmen and Eno to Sam Cooke and The Ramones -- but the warmth among the four NPR contributors exudes its own romance.

Hard to describe further. Just listen for yourself and see if you find yourself smiling too.
