From Fingerboard to Fretboard: Philip Glass's String Quartets on Guitars - WQXR

Suzanne Vega is streaming the whole of her new album "Tales from the Realms of the Queen of Pentangles" ahead of its release.

The link is to the Independent's interview with her and includes her notes on each track.

If you are fans of Over The Rhine, you'll want to get their new album (double disc AND available on vinyl). Linford steps out from behind his piano and does several duets with Karin - and they are harmonious and beautiful and damn-near perfect! They did mostly these new songs at their show last night. (And brought a little Ohio to me across the miles)
 
Since they are a husband and wife musical team...they introduced this song as being inspired by one of their real-life husband-and-wife-musical-duos (rest their souls).
 
 
 
(Lin was really rockin' the Johnny Depp look, too)

David Byrne and St Vincent: 'People assume this is an art project'
Collaboration between the Talking Heads man and Annie Clark was conceived at hipster benefit gigs but Love This Giant isn't avant garde; it's pure, brassy New York fun

Plenty of great poppy songs.

Have you streamed his Austin City Limits performance from PBS?

Though not new, this is a great album!

This is on sale now for 5$! That is 14 songs for 5 bucks! Oh and it happens to be very good too. I am not a huge fan so I was most pleasantly surprised!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

In addition to the back button, if you navigate all the way to a particular album after searching the artist's name, for example, above the album cover top left you'll see the navigation hierarchy. 

So, if you search for Jimmy Thackery, for example, then click on his album "Live In Detroit", above the album cover you'll see "Music>Rock>Jimmy Thackery." This sort of navigation bar isn't so uncommon nowadays, although it's location on the page might not be so typical. I'm not sure how you'd improve it, although I'll admit I haven't given it much thought.
