Fully agree – the only thing Wunderkinds do is reminding you that you’re nothing but a failure. That said…The Flying Club Cup is a rather great one!

I’m happy to report that "the wonderfully botched version of WILCO’s "Too Far Apart" WILL most definitely see the light of day on their Austin City Limits performance when it airs. I should know…..Terry Lickona, Producer, Austin City Limits

Just found a cool band I thought listeners might dig- they're called White Shoes & the Couples Company. It's a band from Indonesia, they're pretty cool. You can get a free MP3 at http://www.mintyfresh.com

With Balkans music, there are people out there you should hear, from Seattle, Kulture Shock, who are really very good, and then out of Bosnia-Hercegovina, there is Mostar Sevdah Reunion, who really do wonderful stuff as well, they almost are the Bosnian answer to The Buena Vista Social Club.
Out of London, there is the more traditional London Sevdah. All three groups have MySpace pages, and London Sevdah has it’s own Blogspot page, Each of these pages has samples of their music, so you can give it a quick listen and hear something that is the Real Deal.
Who not to bother with?
Don’t bother with BalkanBeatBox. They are not really BAD, but they aren’t that good. There’s too much synthesized stuff going on with them.
