  1. Listening to Mira, one of the finest projects I discovered in Istanbul (Elec-Trip Records). Listen: http://www.myspace.com/mira...
  2. Did not find Cadfael in Shrewsbury, but did find two of my favorite people in the world: TP and DT. Cheers, friends!
  3. Listening to 'Zi Punt'. Very creative dance band with subtly provocative lyrics and sick production. Very cool. www.myspace.com/zipunt
  4. Sifting through my notes and recordings from Istanbul. Turkish Delight for the ears. Look for posts soon...
  5. Just saw Bach in a Byzantine church (Hagia Eirene), then Kodo in an arena. Crossroads indeed.
  6. Taxi Ouroboros: 4.5 hrs, 239 kms, $216 lira, 4 words of English, one strange family sharing, two hitchers, and some excellent Turkish pop.
  7. Just met w/ Doublemoon Records. DEFINITELY check out this label - Orient Expressions, Mercan Dede, Baba Zula. http://www.doublemoon.com.tr/
  8. Just got back from a Balkan folk-pop concert (Suzan Kardeş). Lots of traditional Balkan costumes, instruments, and dancing. Fantastic.
  9. On my way to meet with a contact at Yeni Dunya, or "New World", a Turkish record distributor. But first, a quick stop at Hagya Sofia.
  10. In Istanbul, looking for music. Working on a piece for Nat Geo Music about the music scene in Istanbul.
