Ok, now you have my interest in this whole NY mayor thing. If you've done a rap video alongside the author of my most-stained, thumbed and used recipe book (Curry Easy Vegetarian), then I'm going to be well-disposed towards you.
Sharing this for American Bluesky - this is Zohran Mamdani rapping as Mr Cardamom, with Madhur Jaffrey playing the role of Nani (grandma).

So hey, let’s start off 2025 maybe making somebody’s life better in a small tangible way. What is a small practical thing—object, lifehack, whatever—that solved a small annoyance for you?

I didn't know this music at all, but I love this artwork (by Sinéad Smyth) and now I'm listening to it as well and it's also v lovely and evocative so that's nice
#15. Oisín Leech, Cold Sea. This was a slow burn but I listened to it so much, often in the background, that it insinuated itself into my year. Playing alongside Steve Gunn, Leech’s music sounds like the painting on the sleeve: textured, spontaneous, multi-hued. I miss the sea, yet here it is.
