Recordings in a Post-CD World
Rolling Stone contributing editor Anthony DeCurtis joins us to talk about the Death of the Compact Disk. Baby boomer living rooms are overflowing with CDs - so many, that many of us just aren't buying any more. Meanwhile, artists are increasingly releasing music just on DVD or via the Internet, while moving away from the traditional album concept altogether. We take calls and find out what you're doing about your CD problem. Also: Composer Joan Tower has written a new work specifically for community orchestras called "Made in America," which gets its premiere Sunday by the Glenn Falls Symphony Orchestra. The piece will be performed by orchestras in all 50 states over the next year, and Tower joins us today with a preview.
