This why RP rules.......it's called music.

Clearly Mr. N'Dour has been listening to William Orbit. This is a good thing.

I went through a phase of French music, and it changed me. Now, I'm getting into other cultures of music (THANK YOU, RP!), and they're changing me, too. This is a really evocative, rhythmic song, and I love it. The words are foreign, but the music, the tempo, the passion - those are universal.

Solid 10. And yeah, I've thanked RP enough times, but not enough times - we're getting all kinds of music that we'd probably never hear or even know of in whatever other life we live. I come here to tap into everything I don't get in my normal life.

I guess that makes all us RPeeps abnormal - in a good way. Note how I didn't use that group-hug emoticon. rtfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffc c c c c c c c c c c c (Um, everything after the word "emoticon" was my cat on the keyboard. I'm leaving it because, well, he deserves to be heard, too, right?)

I prolly better shut up now.

'Kinell! RP listeners sure do get around and have interesting lives {#Clap}

This is the first Youssou N'Dour song I've liked, mainly because of the big instrumental sound. Usually his voice gets on nerves, though that's my problem as he is an international artist of major stature. 7 from the Nottingham jury.

Nope. Nothing can compare. Back as usual.  RP is 99.97% excellent. Thanks for your kindness, Glockman.

Maybe you're seeing old news, Glock?

Or maybe MSNBC's map isn't up to date--according to Ellehcim's reference, which I checked out.


I haven't been monitoring it ridiculously closely in all honesty, but from what I've read the fires are quite unpredictable. So its hard to say what is happening. I imagine they would have to be updating those fire maps almost hourly for it to be accurate....

Just googled this: http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/california/la-me-fires9-2008jul09,0,6737781.story :

"The 38,000-acre blaze in Butte County jumped a fire line, forcing the evacuation of at least 1,000 residents in Paradise, 90 miles north of Sacramento."

Bill and Rebecca, are you okay?

...oh man, if you haven't heard his album coono du reer yet (er, i think its english title might be nothing's in vain?), you absolutely must - the senegalese percussion leaves your jaw on the floor to be scraped up with a shovel afterwards...amazing stunning talent therein...

For the record, I hate the sound of nails on a chalkboard. This song followed a Beth Orton tune this morning, and her gives me that irrtating feeling. To each his own, I suppose.


I completly agree! You should check out his work with Peter Gabriel on the soundtrack for "The Last Temptation Of Christ". It is amazing!!
