as an aside...

This is quite an interesting radio programme on the nature of music.

You should subscribe to the weekly Radiolab podcast; it's really good.

Asa-Cang and Junray

Hana (m4a)
I have definitely played this to you before, but it's worth sending again just because it's one of the most amazing songs I've heard.
By chance I came across the video today:

Here's a quote from the site that had posted the video:
"It should jar, but it doesn't. Instead, a whole new way of marrying voice to sound opens up, and -- without sacrificing warmth and empathy at all -- instantly makes more trad songsmithery look like fusty hackwork."

I can't say it any better than that.
