Whistling rattles in the wind
murmurations of crows found
music in the shadows
of cadaver dogs gone to ground
In this air
there are blood songs
of reavers in the sky
and the bones make the sweet sound
of cadaver dogs gone to ground

What it was like to be a bush at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance
The bushes on the field during the halftime show became a meme after the internet found out they were actually human performers.

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.”

#MusicMonday Did you know The Guess Who once wrote jingles for Coca-Cola?

We are watching the replay of the women’s 1000m speed skating and I love the live DJ playing disco and Europop and the light show as they clean the ice after every six pairs.
