I am the cosmos. I am the wind.
Sublime vintage sounds from Zanzibar, Sudan, Djibouti, and Somalia.

My young old friend Ben Felten @mysteresdeparis.bsky.social and I have started a new podcast called "Radio Tombola" (you never quite know what you're going to get when you reach inside), and the first episode is about "improbable covers". It's a fun hour-and-a-bit. www.mixcloud.com/RadioTombola...

First time I've spoken in this series. In fact, I talk quite a lot here, sharing anecdotes and music connected to some Memphis music legends I had the strange fortune to encounter through the course of my life.

On Walcot Street in Bath, if you look up on the high wall on the west side of the street, you'll see some very interesting faces. There are many more, but these really stood out to me.

If you're in need of a great read, if only as a distraction from the endless doom scroll, I heartily recommend this portrait of a true revolutionary. I grew up a few blocks from Sam's house in East Memphis and often saw him out mowing his own lawn in the sweltering Memphis summer heat.

I truly feel for the person in suburban Birmingham who was faced with pawning their tabla.

I think I just coined the term "incelligentsia", but even if not, please feel free to use it liberally, with extreme prejudice.

Amazing time today at the Coventry Music Museum, which I cannot recommend highly enough.

The backstory here is that the museum was looking to acquire *a* car like the one seen in the "Ghost Town" music video, but ended up accidentally acquiring *the actual car* itself.

Bob Marley & The Wailers live at The Rainbow 1977 is on BBC2 right now, so suck it, America.

Currently detoxing from five years back in Amerikkka, it's amazing to me that I can randomly turn on my telly in Birmingham to see the exquisite Carole King on BBC2. #itsthelittlethings
