I don't see most of the "avant" scene dancing to the happy bubblegum pop of Cibo Matto.
but you don't live in nyc, do you?
hell no. i live where the weather's nice.
first off, cibo mato are no more. but yuka honda's last record is on tzadik and miho hatori plays tonic fairly regular. when they were together, they shared bills with arto lindsay and blonde redhead. none of which points to the avant *jazz* community,
I would say all those things (except Blonde Redhead) point directly to avant-cred.
but they certainly attracted an audience (self included here) for which i never quite got the connection.
I got the connection, personally. it made perfect sense to me. sh
