- Nonesuch has made a track, “Sabu Yerkoy”, off of the second (and final) collaboration from Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté, called simply Ali and Toumani, available for free download.
- Those wishing to pay their respects to Don Van Vliet, a.k.a. Captain Beefheart, who died December 17, can leave their tributes at The Captain Beefheart Radar Station.
