mexican hat dance

just got back from a weird package tour through mexico's copper canyon with my dad. i think i'm sick and have crazy crazy deadlines so might be a little silent for a while.

on the ETHNOTOURISM front:
got a Tarahumara-made violin while in the Copper Canyon. It seems to be strung with guitar strings and be of questionable tunability - a lovely wall decoration! i may be forced to Anderson-ify the thing to make some sound with it.

The 2006 EMP Pop Conference schedule is up. I'm on a panel called "Let's Call It Art" with David Grubbs and Scott Saul, who is talking about David Byrne and will hopefully volley the ball right into my court.
