'For a while I listened to harsh stuff – you know, alternative music, punk, postpunk, industrial metal, death metal, darkwave, psychedelic, also a bit of third-wave ska and a bit of gothic, that sort of stuff.’ Accustomed to regarding 'that sort of stuff’ as a lost genre shared by decadent teenagers or directionless adults with more fury than character, Armanoush asked, 'Really?’ 'Yeah, but then some time ago I got hooked on Johnny Cash. And that was it. Ever since then I stopped listening to anything else. I like Cash. He depresses me so deeply, I am not depressed anymore.’ -- Elif Shafak, The Bastard of Istanbul
