Hello Colin,
thanks for the recommendation. Sounds like a really good book.
I agree on Modulations. I don't know the book but I Saw "Modulations - the
film" about three years ago in Japan. I liked the bit when Seal (by now
husband of German model Heidi Klum?) said that today's youth basically
suffer from postmodern cultural amnesia; and from that point onwards the
film, indeed, gets a bit patchy or "undefined."
By the way, I also met one of the film's weird turntablism guys with the
"one-eyed sunglasses" in Japan at some hiphop(?) post-concert chill-out
party or the like. Forgot his name, but a very very nice guy. I had the
feeling that he didn't particularly enjoy being recognized as "the guy with
the sunglasses." Well, I did recognize him - not for his music though. So
much for amnesia and 1980s kind of flashy performances ; )
Cheers
Stan
