I’ve travelled to San Francisco and Boston to hear new music in the past few weeks, but as wonderful as those experiences were, it’s a heck of a lot easier to listen to recordings if the repertoire you’re seeking is available that way.

Yale throws out music school tuition, librarian throws out new music recommendations, and two new bloggers toss around some gratis thoughts as well…

17 Days, 75,000 Tracks, 2000 Guitarists, and £44,000

If you’ve already heard the new music that you’re currently listening to, maybe it isn’t so new.
