Hey look, kids! It's ANOTHER ANNOYING RADIO SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT!

Yup. Tonight - and every Tuesday - from 10 PM until midnight Eastern, you
can listen to the often imitated, never duplicated Feedback Monitor radio
programme at http://www.ciut.utoronto.ca (or 89.5 FM if you're in or
around Toronto).

Tonight's edition will be a special spotlight on Koln (or if you prefer,
Cologne) featuring a bunch of artists and labels that have come out of
this very hot German scene over the last few years. Those to be featured
include Mouse on Mars, Mike Ink (and various alias thereof), Thomas
Brinkmann (ditto), the Karaoke Kalk and Tom labels, and more. Yay!

Also... I'm just listening to the latest(?) Ester Brinkmann CD, Weibe
Nachte (sp?), for the first time, and it's not what I expected. It's GOOD,
of course, but different.... strange jazz influence, and all this spoken
stuff in French and German and stuff. What's the story behind this? 

And while I'm at it - Lance, have you got an up-to-date Brinkmann discog?
Something slightly annotated would be nice. I've only got a couple of his
releases, but I think I need more.
