In John Schaefer's first decade of New Sounds, I fell asleep to his choices nearly every night. It was the first place I heard the Tuva throat singers, and Gavin Bryars ("Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet"), and a group of I think Vietnamese immigrants to South Texas who played the most amazing mix of Asian and Texian music.
I did not know those kinds of music existed, I could not have imagined them.
