No technical glitches at all! Apart from my sudden realization that I had no idea how to pronounce Einstürzenden Neubauten. This was an exercise in taking a Chinese indie band smurfmatic had sent me and finding the shortest-path Montreal connection (they were produced by Bargeld, EN had collaborated with La La La Human Steps). I guess if I'm doing anything w/ this show it's taking these two predefined poles (Chinese music, Montreal culture) and tying them into a wider context. I don't much like it when Cpop/Jpop/Kpop is made out to be this sort of segregated thing, yanno? Tore Johansson is as much Tsuji Ayano to me as the Cardigans. ...Not that anything Blixa Bargeld's screamed on touched could be generously described as Cpop.

Though, if I'd paid more attention to what Simon was doing I'd've brought in Patrick Wolf's "The Hazelwood". YEATS DEATHMATCH. Maybe an episode of poetry set to music? Teresa Teng, "Cavaleiro monge", Ferré/Aragon goddamn.

The Velvet Underground "cover" (David Lang orchestrated the "Requiem for a Dream" theme for the Kronos Quartet) comes from this:

LOL! I can imagine that Einstürzende Neubauten must be a bitch to pronounce, but you did well. I love Blixa but i can only listen to Neubauten in very small doses, i wish he was still part of the Bad Seeds...

Loved the video!
