Been reading and totally digging Saskia Hollings’ “You & Me Against The World.” These bands were my heroes at the time and their scene seemed to cool and remote, it’s fascinating to dig in now and see they were a lot like us. But way cooler. www.spinoutproductions.com/shop/you-me-ag…

This banger was my first Ebo Taylor LP. SO smooth. ebotaylor.bandcamp.com/album/my-lov...

Ebo Taylor, who did for Ghanaian music what his friend Fela Kuti did for Nigeria, has been called the greatest rhythm guitarist in history. His son Kweku Taylor: “The world has lost a giant, a colossus of African music, leaving behind an unmatched artistry legacy. Dad, your light will never fade.”

Listening to Joel Cusumano's KPISS show this week and he dropped a lovely Mono tune, reminding me about the sleek 2step remix that came out on the "High LIfe" 12". A very good era for remixes on pop records! www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1Y0...

How many times in your life have you heard a member of Congress or someone on TV say “we can’t afford it” when talking about something small but very important? It’s been happening my entire life. We can’t afford it? They’re putting seven times the annual budget of the EPA into immigrant detention.
