With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

... and earlier in the evening: the Hagen Quartett playing one of Beethoven's middle quartets and Schubert's last. Both are uncompromising works, and played as such by the Hagen - especially the Schubert is played with great flair and many interpretive touches that add character. Great performances.

Blueknowz,
This looks like a nice cast. How's the SQ? Typically, when they did these compilation LPs in the US they tried for a uniform sound from among the various artists and the result was a flat, dimensionless album.

One of the better 21st century Springsteen albums:

I had forgotten I had this album, what a treat.

Shelby Lynne's younger sister.
Brant Bjork (one of the original members of Kyuss) plays unique desert rock. This is called Jalamanta.
Better by Him, Spookily Good...
