"He likes it rough"

DuYun was fab tonite at the Cornelia Street Cafe where she performed with Gareth Flowers and Phil Moffa. She did about 10 pieces that traversed the gamut and evinced disparate inspirations ranging from jazz to cute chinese hip hop pop. Incidentally that song was about communication on the cellular level, and yet it sounded like something out of Bristol, England in the mid nineties.. or at least from a chinese take-out place in Bristol. Trip hop ni hao. Then there was the gutteral "Angel's Bone" (libretto by Royce Vavarek, of Dog Days fame), in which DuYun moaned and screamed about a partner who "likes it rough" and clearly "can't get enough". I can honestly say that she is unpredictable and original. Go see her if you can!
