Because she is a Chilean author, who lives in the US, who writ...more info>>> Discovered on 28/02/2009 12:01:00 Discovered @ smileyjkl.blogspot.com
Yogiga
South Korea	Went to an afternoon gig in the Yogiga art gallery. It was a warehouse space, no natural light, a dizzying smell of gas. A bookshelf of mouthwateringly obscure CDs for sale. Loved it.A Korean duo came on, sampling struck metallic pots, the notes stretched out in infinite waves, reverbed. At a table ...more info>>> Discovered on 28/02/2009 12:01:00 Discovered @ mybleedingnose.blogspot.com

Quach Thanh Danh - Nhu Da Dau Yeu
Vietnam	Quach Thanh Danh’s fourth album, Nhu Da Dau Yeu, is snore-worthy not because of his vocals but his karaoke-standard productions.

It would have been a great album of cover if QTD were to hire either Ho...more info>>> Discovered on 28/02/2009 06:01:00 Discovered @ Visualgui.com
