    Nomiya Maki is the voice of Pizzacato Five, and is definitely from Japan. If you like quirky retro music, check her out!

    You didn’t mention that Bowie’s version of China Girl is a cover. It originally appeared on The Idiot by Iggy Pop in 1977.

      Good point! I’ve mentioned it on previous shows, and even played the Iggy original, but forgot to mention it here.
