| attydog (san francisco) | Posted: Jun 01, 2009 - 19:39 too long?! How sad to be such a product of commercial radio - cringing right on queue at three minutes twenty seconds. poor poor pitiful you (which incidentally clocked in at 3:10) |

| lewie221 (Silicon Valley) | Posted: Aug 21, 2008 - 12:42 I think the thing that makes this song, and indeed much of the genre, cumulatively painful (i.e. great for the first minute then gradually less pleasurable) is the pizzicato guitar riff repeated ad nauseam. If that doesn't bother you, I envy you. I wish I liked everything! |
| lwilkinson (North Am-Home of the Last of the Rugged Individualists) | Posted: Aug 21, 2008 - 12:41 "Babble, babble, yadda-yadda, bo-bo, bubba, bubba, wooga, wooga" ................. translates as I don't have any idea at all what I'm really saying but I'm happy anyway so what does it really matter?  |
| Excelsior | Posted: Aug 21, 2008 - 12:37 Jesus, this is painful to listen to. The background singers are JUST off-key enough to make me cringe every time they open their mouths. Also, I think this song contains no less than 46 different time signatures. |
| garthwb (Emerald Isle) | Posted: Jun 19, 2008 - 07:50 So many memories... Any chance of some Thomas Mapfumo? A fantastic, highly respected musician in Zimbabwe (and also internationally!) |

I assume that the cannabilism stories were true because the American consul confirmed them. (Where's that Emoticon that expresses naivety?) BTW, if in need of somebody to invade and throw out a nasty, despotic regime, I couldn't think of a bunch of nicer people to do it than French paratroopers. I also cannot think of a better source of advice--French political elites--for which countries to AVOID invading and occupying..... |

All those cannibalism stories just fade into the background.... Can you guess the country? England? |

Can't we cut the Oliver Mtukudzi playlist in half and add in some of the 1000's of amazing African artists begging to be heard? I second that brother, wholeheartedly. And if, at the end of the day, that's not possible, can we at least get Youssou N'Dour's cover of "Rubber Band Man"? |

Absolutely the best of African Dance. Since 1966. JUJU music. If you want the real deal Nigerian megastuff music, it's gotta be Fela Anikulapo Kuti! That man was political, musically awesome, and so so super cooooool. |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet) | Posted: Sep 06, 2006 - 22:35 I feel like I hear this every day on RP |

| (former member) (Shadow Valley Condos) | Posted: Apr 28, 2006 - 09:53 Long isn't an impediment to enjoying it. Some of the best tunes ("Close to the Edge," Einstein on the Beach - "Spaceship") take a nice long time to get where they need to be. jbtidwell wrote: I would love to hear more African artists, who has the CDs to upload? Got a ton. I think Bill's only got one Johnny Clegg tune ("Scatterlings of Africa") but we oughta get more Savuka and Jaluka on the playlist. I saw Clegg once many years ago. Kinetic, intelligent, and very very interesting. |
| phillips (a beach near you) | Posted: Apr 28, 2006 - 09:53 happy song but isn't it OVER YET?? |
| glassjawgrlxxx (Boston) | Posted: Apr 28, 2006 - 09:49 I like the other song you play by him, "Ndauvara" much better. |

What a beautiful happy clapping song to wake up to! ... ...
