Planet Ark : Macedonian Court Convicts Bear Of Stealing Honey

A Macedonian court convicted a bear of theft and damage for stealing honey from a beekeeper who fought off the attacks with thumping “turbo-folk” music.

Serbians may be batshit crazy, but they’ve also given us turbo-folk. With a name like that, what’s not to like?

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think many Americans know about dEUS, Zita Swoon, or Soulwax/2 Many DJs. I absolutely love Soulwax’s remix (7.3 mb) of DJ Shadow’s “Six Days”.

And of course you should check out MC Dusaar, the rap group of the brother of my friend Lieven. =)

Chab

One of the best things about writing for the Maroon was diving into the box of sampler CDs we got sent and occasionally discovering something really cool. Dub, Edits and Whiskey-Coke by Chab was one of my top finds and the songs always make me smile when they come through my playlist. Highly recommended.
