Conversation: The Year in Music

As 2011 draws to a close, we take a look at the year in pop music and the big changes in the industry, including new cloud services like [Spotify](http://www.spotify.com/). I recently talked with [Los Angeles Times critic Randall Roberts](http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/music/la-ca-year-end-roberts-essay-20111218,0,6820313.story) about those changes and the artists he enjoyed most. Among his favorites: PJ Harvey, Tom Waits, Frank Ocean and Adele. Who were your favorites of 2011? On Wednesday, I spoke to the Washington Post's Ron Charles [about the year in fiction](http://www.pbs.org/newshour/art/blog/2011/12/conversation-the-year-in-fiction.html). On Friday, I talk to the New York Times' A.O. Scott about the year in film.
