I'm surprised to have seen no Western mass-media obits for the sublime Gambian griot Foday Musa Suso, who took flight on May 25 at age 75. Were it not for an email blast from Bill Laswell, I don't think I'd know he was gone. Here's a Gambian source. standard.gm/a-tribute-to...

“Better Call Saul” asked us to cover Harry Nilsson’s “Perfect Day” for a scene in the final season.

They wanted a faithful version. (I think the original was too pricy?)

We delivered a weird, semi-futuristic version. They passed.

We released it anyway.
