The Wire’s Peter Shapiro had some mighty fine things to say about Egon’s NPR column, Funk Archaeology. Here’s a sample:
“Funk Archaeology remains passionate and accessible, full of insight and rather catholic in its tastes as it spans everything from the psych scenes of Recife and South Korea to funk from the Carolinas.”

The Wire writes: “… West Papuan funk…. heady South Asian psych-folk – terrific.”

You know what – since Bono is of the status of a Head of State, we’ll forgive the mispronunciation! Video of Seu Jorge and Bono’s cover of “The Model,” taken in Sao Paulo.
We received this dispatch from our man Pierre at Cafune this evening:
“Jorge is singing ‘The Model’ with U2 for 90,000 people in Sao Paulo right now!! Unbelievable.”
We said “Yeah right” and then he sent us the above photo. And this link.
