NPR Music Proposes 20 Albums Everyone Loves (Podcast)
Can't We All Just Get Along? Our Search For The Albums Everyone Loves

When the NPR Music team started talking about the 25th anniversary of Paul Simon's Graceland,we soon realized everyone on staff agreed it was one of the all-time great records. That doesn't happen very often, especially in a group of people with such divergent tastes in music.
This discovery got us thinking: Is it possible to form a top ten list of records everyone can agree on? The kinds of records that, if you put them on at a party, everyone would say, "turn it up!"
So we need you to vote. We've started by nominating 20 albums that we think will be loved by everyone who listens to them, and we want you to tell us whether YOU feel that love. To keep this running through the summer, we'll need more suggestions for albums that might fit the bill.Keep voting, and by August we hope to have a final list we can agree on.
A big quest like this one needs a big kickoff, so for this week's show Bob and Robin play a few selections they and the rest of the NPR Music team think everyone will love. Bob and Robin are also joined by folk singer Glen Hansard, who throws Bob Marley's Exodus into the ring.
We don't even scratch the surface of the surface with this show. But we hope to get the discussion going by fitting in as much in as possible, from quiet, emotional folk, and psychedelic funk, to high-strutting, head-banging rock.
Mladic Trial delayed due to failure of prosecutors to disclose evidence
You can read the full report on the BBC page including a short video clip of Mladic. I've also linked to a few BBC news podcasts covering the trial.
It has been an embarrassing day for international justice. As grieving relatives sat through the chilling detail of the worst atrocity on European soil since World War II, it emerged that the prosecution had failed to disclose thousands of pages of evidence that should have been shared with the defence.
Gen Mladic's lawyers told the court they need six more months to process those documents.
