InfluencesI just spent at week in Gucca, Serbia at a crazy ass gypsy brass band festival...it was unreal. I really got into Kurdish House remixes you can buy from cart vendors on the docks of Istanbul and the Arabic music with the filter sweeps on the saz .Southern Romanian Gypsy music is hot as hell.In New York I go see Nervous Cabaret ,Krystal Warren ,Slavic Soul Party ,The Zagnut Cirkus Orkestar ,Romashka ,Curtis Eller ,Corn Moe ,aWry ,Gogol Bordello , The Zagnut Orkestar, The Circus Amok Band , Project Jenny Project Jan, The Wiyos and The Hungry March Band .For Dj's Joro-Boro, Eugene Hutz of Gogol and DJ Reyka and Balkan Beat Box....I also fall to the feet of Baby Dee......The Dresden Dolls, Human Wine and Mishkin also make me really happy.
Sounds Like"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order and lends to all that is good and just and beautiful." ~ PLATO

"Damn everything but the circus! ...damn everything that is grim, dull, motionless, unrisking, inward turning, damn everything that won't get into the circle, that won't enjoy, that won't throw its heart into the tension, surprise, fear and delight of the circus, the round world, the full existence..." e.e. cummings
