As music critics, the most common question we get asked (and ask each other) is, “What are you listening to?” The pervasiveness of this query inspired Heavy Rotation, one of two new features we’re debuting this week. For the benefit of those who happen to be curious, starting today, I’ll be polling each of my colleagues to find out what’s on top of their playlists every week and then compiling and posting their responses. After the jump, you’ll find a list of the things tickling our fancy this week. Feel free to chime in with your own picks.
