I'm currently listening to: The Juliet Letters. This collaboration between Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet is experimental and invigorating. The range of songs - soulful blues, caustic sarcasm, playful wit - is complemented by the range of string styles - warm tremolos, angry martellatos, sneaky pizzicatos.
Here's another little doodle-ditty collaboration with Sigga.
An interesting thought: Song Fight. Each week a song title is posted. Entrants write and record a song within the week and post it. The winner is determined by popular vote.
