Clare
Clare FM, the local radio station from County Clare, Ireland has a nice website full of broadcasts of traditional Irish music. Clare is the epicenter of concertina playing in Ireland, and probably the world.
When I listen to the live broadcasts I always seem to only find football games, but there is an archive of traditional music shows that's worth listening to, if you like that sort of thing.

Comtech
The remains of my former employer Verso, which had been acquired from my former employer NMS Communications, have finally been sold off in bankruptcy court to Comtech for $3.9M. This is a much better deal than NMS got when it sold the same group to Verso (for $800K in cash plus a few million in worthless stock).
My current company Tervela is still doing well. Good luck to all those former NMSers who hang on.
