Song: "Morning Paper" by Quruli (くるり)
I first heard Quruli many years ago in a store in Los Angeles. I don't speak Japanese to any great degree and couldn't understand the lyrics, but the music was striking and creative. That album was The World is Mine, which many - including myself - consider to be the band's masterpiece. However, their next two albums are a little more accessible for English speakers. "Morning Paper" is a rocker from Antenna and a good introduction to the band's style, but also check out "Nijiiro No Tenshi" ("Rainbow-Colored Angel") from the Nikki album. Quruli's instrumentation is top-notch, and Masashi Sato is one of my bass heroes. Financial: International Studies have shown that many investors have a home country bias, especially in the US. But even if you own shares in some of the global multi-national companies based in America, you're still missing out on a huge swath of investments around the world. We think it's important to diversify not just domestic holdings, but to also own international funds which buy large and small companies in developed and emerging markets. As I'm writing this post, international economies and investments have been trailing the United States, and it appears that will continue for some time. But no trend lasts forever!
