Spin the Globe Playlist for 12 March 2010
The Music of Russia

On this day in 1918, Moscow became the capitol of Russia, and would soon be the center of the USSR, a huge cultural, political, and military force from 1922 until its collapse in 1991. We explored the diverse sounds of Russia this week, from city to steppe. Plus new releases and concert previews in hour 2.
