iPhones and Amadou and Miriam
Watched
iPhone envy reached fever pitch again last night when I was the only non-iPhone at a 4 person table. Also, Google Reader looks a hell of a lot better on that thing than my lame-ass mobile version. Anyway, that kind of has to do with this (which I was alerted to by and watched a friend perform quite well last night):
HardTimes :: iFingrU from ze frank on Vimeo.
Listened
I hate the phrase "World Music". Anyway, here's this:
Theophilus London Sabali Remix (Sorry, no embed... you have to click it)
Learned
Last night I learned that shows at the Red and the Black go later than expected, but are completely worth it when Peelander Z is involved. They performed what I think might have been the exact same set as when I saw them at SXSW. Still, it was great to get to help introduce them to a group of friends.
Sad there is no mention of the highlight of the evening: Aliens. Perhaps 'can't find water in the ocean' is a modern day 'sound of one hand clapping'? Either way, too deep for my shallow mind. (- Kenley, twit: Farmerk)
