The cover of this week’s Village Voice is occupied by the famed composer Philip Glass, who turned 75 this week and whose birthday will be celebrated with a series of events taking place throughout February; Steven Thrasher went in-depth with the man and his legacy. Elsewhere in the music section, I listen to the frustrating, needy debut by the much-discussed Lana Del Rey, and Seth Colter Walls talks to Björk on the eve of her month-long residency in New York, which will blend music from her new album Biophilia with lessos on the natural world’s inner workings.
