Quannam artists are making a name for themselves for having engaging and innovative live shows, and this tour was no exception. In addition to the usual vinyl beats, a male and female soul singer lent their vocal talents to the various artists, bringing a more human connection to a lot of the material. The two volcalists are a common presence at Blackalicious shows, and one of the singers, Joyo Velarde, is even releasing her own album on the label soon...
...Greedy's, Ko Myo lent me his copy of 1984, one of a collection of banned or sensitive books that he disguises in brown paper and risks another lengthy prison term for circulating. I reread it one afternoon in my hotel room with the curtains drawn, emerging hours later to discover that two military-intelligence agents were harassing the staff about my identity and movements.

...many Serbs already on the move, some are wondering whether their days in Kosovo are numbered. "This might be the decisive battle for Kosovo and the survival of Serbs in Kosovo," a senior Belgrade official, Nebojsa Covic, said. The rhetoric has a familiar ring, but last week's events lent some credence to his apocalyptic view...
