Wed. 3/28/18 7:14pm

Oh, that sounds good, Hyde! | |

There's a place in Chinatown, Manhattan, forget the name, but I know where to find it. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 7:19pm
hyde:
@Gary yeah, they have all the classic stuff. Pork chop sandwiches. Macaroni with egg & toast. Milk tea. Curry chicken. Horlick's. | |

Thousands of Yemeni migrants are stuck in Djibouti who thought they would get visas b/c they have family in the States. Of course, that's not happening. I have Yemeni friends in Brooklyn, and if I wasn't infuriated already.......................................... | |
Wed. 3/28/18 7:21pm

That's horrifying, NGH | |

Should we go chronological, or does anyone have a request for next set? | |
Wed. 3/28/18 7:26pm
hyde:
this set is reminding me about this cool story I read this week about Anthony Wong finding his long lost half brothers: www.bbc.com... | |
Wed. 3/28/18 7:29pm
northguineahills:
Kenzo has a good grasp of the chronological, ask him? ;) | |

Thankfully, I found an authentic Jamaican place here that rivals Islands in Crown Heights). | |

I have to admit, outside of Lomax's recordings, my mento collection is rather slim. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 7:46pm
JakeGould:
Nice Maracas. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 7:47pm

Best rhyme with Caracas of all time? | |

Interesting to hear Jamaicans singing about Ethiopia before reggae. | |

The beginnings of Rasta-Fari started in the 1920s, heck Marcus Garvey was aware of the movement, and he died before wwii (?) | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:04pm
hyde:
this is cool | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:06pm
tim abdellah:
@NGH - yah man! But I wonder how far back there are pop songs about it. @Gary - that Zoe Kouroukli was fab! | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:07pm
Gary:
There's mention of the earliest rastafari track in Solid Foundation, I think | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:07pm
northguineahills:
Any rebetika? | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:08pm
Gary:
Not that I know of, NGH -- I think just rock and laika | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:12pm
northguineahills:
I had a classmate/coworker who was Greek who had his father's vinyl rebetika collection. He had no use for vinyl, and surprised I was enthusiastic about it, so he gave me a stack of rebetika vinyl. I'm still grateful. | |

Reminds me, I'm going to make vegan pizza w/ naan as the crust later this week. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:33pm
Gary:
That sounds amazing, NGH | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:36pm

Man, this is funky! | |

there's a vegan place here that makes a paneer pizza. have not tried it... | |

Tim, no joke, this is my favorite repress label right now! | |

Looked it up online. Is that EM Records? | |

Another item in an infinite litany of scheiße that is pissing me off is not only has Trump reduced the Census Bureau's budget by 80%, but he want them to ask if that participant is a citizen. That will royally fuck up any count, as the immigrant community won't participate (I worked for four years as a geographer for the Census Bureau) | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:44pm
Gary:
Every move of the administration has been to destroy whatever exists | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:46pm
tim abdellah:
@NGH - agreed. I didn't realize that he'd slashed that bureau's budget so drastically. I work in Affirmative Action/Equal Employment, and we rely on census data to produce our employment metrics for women and minorities. This is terrible news. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:46pm
tim abdellah:
@Gary - this set rules! | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:52pm
northguineahills:
@Tim: As a former demographer, it's something I'm rather passionate about. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:56pm
northguineahills:
@tim: from my conversations w/ my former colleagues, it looks like the 2016 Census est might be the last accurate one for the foreseeable future. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:58pm
Scraps deSelby:
there's still time for the dems to take power, before the census, and reverse that stupid (well, racist, really, it's not stupid) decision. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 8:59pm
tim abdellah:
@NGH - geez. that's awful to hear. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 9:00pm

@Scraps: The planning for each decennial starts 7 years in advance and starts in motion four years in advance, it's way too late to change anything. | |

I need to hibernate for a kalpa....... | |

i'm talking about the question about citizenship, ngh. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 9:15pm
northguineahills:
@Scraps: Well, things need to change in a hurry, b/c those forms will be printed in early 2019. Unless there's a blue tsunami, I don't count on it. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 9:22pm
northguineahills:
Damn, this Cluster, I love it (I might have it somewhere)! | |
Wed. 3/28/18 9:22pm

right, i'm saying a blue tsunami is possible, that's all. | |

assuming that bolton doesn't get us all killed.... | |

northguineahills:
@Scraps: Oh, I can feel it, it's just seems like Murphy's law has been following me around the last few years, so it's hard for me to be too optimistic. Also, I hope you feel better! Thanks for adopting the stream! @Gary y todos: Leaving work, thanks again! | |
Wed. 3/28/18 9:26pm

@NGH - g'nite - thanks for sharing the info. I'm out shortly too, will listen to the rest as I pedal home! Thx Gary! | |

When that bed music started, my brain couldn't help but expect to hear David S. of Inner Ear Detour. That used to be his talkover music. I think. | |

The census thing is completely of a piece. The Repubs know they haven't got a prayer unless they fight dirty. Fortunately for them, that's been their go-to strategy for decades. | |
Wed. 3/28/18 9:54pm
tim abdellah:
Loving this entire hip-hop set!!! | |
Wed. 3/28/18 9:55pm
Gary:
We should just do 3 hours of this stuff | |

Yeah this is GREAT! Was there a Reverend Ike name-checked in that last song or was i hallucinating? | |

Night everyone, and I think you're right, Ike! | |
