Heavy Rotation, our top spins for the week of April 5, 2010

As people who think about, talk about, listen to and make music, the most common question we encounter is, “What are you listening to right now?” So whether you’re looking for recommendations, trying to get a feel for our individual sensibilities, or are just curious, we’ve compiled a list of all the things we’re listening to this week. Of our seventy total picks this week, only one title appeared more than once:Go by Jónsi from Sigur Ros. Otherwise, as usual, we were all over the place this past week.
