Interesting article in today's NYTimes about world-fusion-indie rock. Or something. I'm not sure I buy the central thesis, about some sort of new trend of Eastern European influences in rock. Trend stories are usually BS. But it's nice to see mentions of a bunch of bands I like: DeVotchKa, Gogol Bordello, and A Hawk and a Hacksaw. The effort to grab in Antibalas and MIA was not too persuasive. But then again I'm part of the "30 to 50 world music crowd" so what do I know...
there is nothing like the joy of opening a can of tomatoes
