Tune in to National Public Radio today, July 3rd, at ~6 p.m. to listen to
a report on "trip hop". I listened to a spot on NPR and it featured DJ
Shadow's "Lost and Found" as background music. It described "trip hop"
as a new music movement from UK dancefloors with a slower beat.

I trust NPR to be well-informed and well-researched on this topic, as
almost always, so it should prove to be an interesting broadcast. I
wonder whether they'll say anything about the term itself. Most of us
hate the term "trip hop" and it's become a touchy subject... Anyway,
I'm taping it; if they screw up, I'll let 'em know. :)

Jazz On,
Alexees.
