NGIFUNA WENA



My google wizardry is unfadeable, but this one evaded me for well over a year, so I had to share. I was even considering $200 to have it couriered from South Africa before the woman at the courier service talked me out of it! I think this song is so fucking good. It's like the Kwaito "One More Time". Some kind soul upped the whole album @ 128, thank you interwebs!

DJ TEA-KAY & MA-ELI - "NGIFUNA WENA"



Also on the Kwaito tip, I came across this in my hunting, total lo-fi drum machine hypnotics. I could listen to this stuff passively for days. Crazy!

Walking On A Thin Line (Emlord Edits)

I always liked this song in a passive sort of way, and then one day in Prescott AZ at a going out of business sale I found the 12" for a dollar, took it home and really listened to the lyrics. I'll let Huey explain:



He's sort of like the poppy Bruce Springsteen, you know? When's the next time a bar band in their mid-30's become international pop stars? Probably never.

Here's a shorter edit, in and out.



...and here's the longer one with the guitar solo, if its that kind of nite.



It's deplorable the way our country treats it's veterans. Sending the poor to fight the wars of the rich? Kids, don't join the military!

Tego!















From 2004's El Enemy de los Guasíbiri. Tego sounds good on almost any kind of beat, but this one just goes hard in a really posi, hip-hop sorta way. Feel it!
