Interesting interview with David Harrington of Kronos Quartet. He's much more engaged with the questions than you see in a lot of these Q&A sessions. I was particularly interested in the stuff about covers, about the ways in which orchestras playing the classical repetoire could (and could not) be considered cover acts. Esp. interesting because I think the first thing I ever read about Kronos was about their version of "Purple Haze" way back in the 80s. Kronos will be playing at Duke later this year. Not sure what's on the program but I'm definitely looking forward.
On a completely unrelated note: WHO DAT!
