For all of the Japanese readers of Beta Blog, a head's up: I just received a parcel from the fine people at
Sweet Dreams Press. Included in the package is not only a delicate little book on
Ida (including many swell pictures of one-time Graham Ave. record pusher Miggy Littleton) but also a copy of their latest issue (#4), which features a Japanese translation of
my interview with Alan Bishop about "world music" (originally in The Believer's 2008 music issue).
