Enjoy the Silence
Check in at Gridskipper for an exclusive Carpetblog report on the Depeche Mode Baar we visited in Tallinn (every other word in Estonian seems to have a superfluous letter).
Handy link if you want to pick up a tribute album done by Estonian bands.

Straight Outta Kashgar
Via Coming Anarchy, Xinjiang's latest pop sensation go to YouTube to see a video from an unnamed pop group from Xinjiang made of up three Uyghur girls from Uzbekistan.
What they lack in production values, rhythm and, uh, talent, they make up for in musical influences. You can hear Indian, Chinese and maybe even Persian/Turko pop (one of my goals in Azerbaijan was to learn how to distinguish between Iranian and Turkish pop music -- I failed) in their tune.
They aren't Shakira but the key to a satisfying life in Crapistan is to lower your standards.
