— Marina Warner"It seemed to me to be a parable of the exchange of goods, rather Marxist in some ways, in the new world of global forces.

They have been truly, really changed."

I'm not denying that in the world there's been some tremendous musical happenings, like DJ Shadow or whatever, that kind of thing. But when it goes into the weird thing where you get a remix done by a certain person because they need a brand name, that's when it becomes really discouraging.
