Another note from the Times, this one in the Book Review from a week or so back. The Up Front bit is a note about Geoff Dyer (who reviews ‘The Rest is Noise’ in that issue) and quotes him as saying that “he is listening to lots of Indian classical music (though he also wondered why the Necks aren’t better known in America).” Yes, good question, why aren’t the Necks better known in America? [And pointing back to the previous post, I first heard the Necks on the ultrahang a tiloson site.]
