What does it say about me that when I loaded up all my CDs onto iTunes, I noticed that the two artists I had more of than anyone else were Concrete Blonde and Esquivel?

Contortionists dressed as farmers’ daughters and singing about potato salad. No, really! Via Hoyden About Town.
You’re quite talented, and one of the joys of New York City is that you never know what kind of talented musician or performer you’re going to run into on the subways. Just last night, I saw a jazz violinist, and there are breakdancers in the Grand Central subway station, and opera singers, and Mexican guitarists, and brass bands, and the washtub guy, and people playing Chinese instruments, and the Delta Blues folks, and a cappella four-part harmonies. And those Peruvian musicians, but I don’t like them very much.*
With all of that vast talent and variety out there, do you think you could maybe step it up a little and expand your repertoire beyond “Onward, Christian Soldiers”?
Thanks much,
Zuzu

*It all happened during Art Fair in Ann Arbor. The law school was on the corner of South State and South University, which were two of the major streets hosting Art Fair. There were Peruvian musicians, several groups of them. They set up at several points along South State and South U. And I could hear every minute that they played, eight hours a day, for five days. The same songs, over and over. And they’re *still* playing those same songs. I think they’re following me.
