Free Agents of a Different Flavor

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
A 60's teen idol who drifted to dark avant-garde music, Scott Walker is one of pop music's most compelling and elusive outsiders. Today: the director of a documentary film on Walker offers an appreciation. Also: Anna Netrebko's velvety voice has earned hordes of opera fans, even as her smoldering looks can drive magazine sales. She joins us today to share "Souvenirs," her new collection of salon songs, operetta classics, lullabies and more.

Crowdsourcing: Tell us what holiday music you're hearing in stores this season. (Anything unusual? Or the same old chestnuts?)
