Detroit and Beeps

So I got back from Detroit almost 2 weeks ago and it's a brilliant city. Granted there are tons of burnt out, abandoned houses and I'm sure there are really dangerous parts of town, but there is a blue collar ethic about it that I really like. Met tons of cool people, some cool architecture, it's close to Canada, GREAT radio stations and there are SOOOO many great music acts who were/are based in Detroit.
Check out this list and it will seriously blow your mind:
Stevie Wonder
Parliament
Gladys Knight
Suzi Quatro
Alice Cooper
John Lee Hooker
Iggy Pop and the Stooges
Brendan Benson
The White Stripes
Aretha Franklin
Eminem
Kid Rock

and Techno was basically born in Detroit with Juan Atkins, Derrick May etc. Even Madonna was born and grew up in Michigan.

Anyway, it's pretty impressive. Hopefully I'll be spending a few months there end of this year, but more on that later. In the meantime, here's some pics above (and the new song, which has nothing to do with Detroit. It's Architecture in Helsinki and they're from Australia, but it's still a catchy tune)
