Things have been quiet around here for a bit, I’m still trying to work out how to balance various sorts of work (both paid & volunteer), plus various other things that make Adelaide a busy place at this time of year (WOMAD, film festival etc), with blogging.
Tonight I’ve been at a public meeting about the SA Government’s plan for Victoria Park, hopefully I’ll get a chance to post on that soon (maybe if I get enough work done tomorrow), but in the meantime I’ll throw in a quick “what’s on the stereo” post to let you know that I’m still here:

Femi Kuti – Africa Shrine cd (uwe/mk2)
Etran Finitawa – Introducing cd (World Music Network)
Huun Huur Tu feat. Samsonov – Altai Sayan Tandy-Vula cd (Green Wave)
Zulya and the Children of the Underground – The Waltz of Emptiness (and other songs on Russian themes) cd (Unstable Ape)

Did you hear that Sonic Youth are performing “Daydream Nation” in its entirity: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/41506/Sonic_Youth_to_Perform_Daydream_Nation_at_P
How good would it be to see them kick “Teenage Riot” out live:

Yes, that’s what prompted me to listen to it. I’ve never been quite sure about the “Don’t look back” series, but something like this makes me very enthusiastic for it!
There’s more of that Rockpalast concert up on YouTube e.g.

I can’t listen to it yet, but if the “Teenage Riot” clip is anything to go by, they should be worthwhile.
That should have been:
