This is NPR's image - I borrowed it - NPR recently had a feature on what would have been on Abraham Lincoln's iPod. BTW, I had a great dislike for the Apple earbuds.

Something to listen to prior to its release is Laura Gibson's 'Beasts Of Seasons' NPR has been previewing select new CDs in their entirety - including Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen since the beginning of this year.

This one is hushingly beautiful. It comes out next week.

My best on a cold morn....
