Where is the life we have lost in living?

Easy

What world do we live in where Antony & the Johnson's new album The Crying Light enters the European charts at the number One slot, selling 10,000 copies in a tiny island nation with one fifth the population of the United States, where it debuts at 65 and sells an expected 7,837 copies. How is it that the greatest nation in the world is so backwards when it comes to the arts? Is the radio that awful in the United States or are the Europeans just just more sophisticated? Only interest is delved in the lowest common demoninator, the easy sell. Pretty ridiculous.

Antony Hegarty donated his vocals to disco DFA troupe Hercules & Love Affair in what's heralded as Song of the Year for 2008. Here is the night drive true colours remix. Real.
