title: Django views/filters
body: <p>I have just completed the Django tutorials, and while excited about learning more, I am by no means proficient. I guess you could say that I don't know enough to be dangerous at this point.</p>
  
  <p>Let's say that I have a database of music. I have an Artist model, an Album model, a Genre model, and a Song model. What I would like to be able to do is display albums (or even artists) based on given filters; so my front-end would display a list of albums and provide a means to filter the list. A "Jazz" link, for instance, would only display Jazz albums. Simple enough.</p>
  
  <p>I can think of a couple ways to accomplish this, but I would like to start out on the right foot...to begin forming "best practice" Django methods. One way I can think of would be to write views...such that /albums/jazz would only display jazz. Another way would be to write model-level methods that filter the albums. Here I get a little fuzzy on how I would actually implement such a filter, however. </p>
  
  <p>Will someone please give me broad overview of how this task is best accomplished?</p>
