"You don't need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Don't even listen, simply wait. Don't even wait. Be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you. To be unmasked, it has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet." -Franz Kafka

Cross-Cultural. Eclectic. Badass.

Ah... fond memories of my yoof in Cambridge. The late 70's, early 80's... Dolly Mixture, The Chefs, Red Guitars, Billy Bragg, The Undertones, SLF, Joy Division, The Cure, The Ramones (Gabba, Gabba Hey!), The Go Go's, Raincoats, Girls at our Best, The Smiths, Buzzcocks, The Clash... John Peel on Radio 1... Cambridge United (The Pride of East Anglia.)... Fast forward... La vie mode francaise (en Belgique et en Suisse)... Mylene Farmer, Emma Daumas, Natasha St Pier, Jane Birkin, Jean Jacques Goldman, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Keren Ann, Nadiya... Throw in some musica espanol: Shakira, Mecano, Pablo Milanes, Mana... Now older (but not necessarily wiser) in Sunny Southern California... just where are the boys from summer? Oh and Cambridge United are still the pride of East Anglia...
