Those of you who don't know of Simon, I can hardly blame you. Australie has such a weird relationship with France that the exchange of music across borders proves much easier in countries without our deadening cultural provincialism that makes us think we're at the peripheries making impure culture while the centers (i.e. New York, London, Tokyo, Berlin, Milan, Paris) are where the real culture happens. This is an ideological lie. We're just as capable of culture as anywhere else.
See you in next week.
