Outside of the Amy Biehl Foundation Trust Marimba Band at my site I have not done too much exploration into music while in Cape Town. However, I have stumbled upon K’naan without even leaving our house on Kimberly Road. My friend, Pat Duffey, recently spent a month or so in Voi, Kenya and heard about K’naan from a friend in Voi. He is from Somalia and the song, “Waving Flag“, has quickly taken off as a house hit. Sam Drew and I are doing more research into procuring his other albums. One of our other favorites is “Take a Minute“. South Africa is amazing, come visit me.
I love crappy movies that don’t make much sense. That is everything that Crank is. From a strange rape scene to a even stranger ending. I could try to tell you more, but Patton Oswalt does it the best: “You won’t learn shit about the human condition, or feel a collective connection with the brotherhood of man. But if you give Statham $10, he will fuck an explosion while a Slayer song plays”.
Not only do you quench my thirst and keep a little change in my pocket but you also host a rocking show. The PBR concert series has hit St. Louis and you can color me impressed. For the same price as a case of this delicious elixir I saw an evening full of hip swinging, head banging hits. While the opening act, Jon Hardy and the Public, failed to live up to my standards I was blown away by White Rabbits (http://tiny.cc/WhiteRabbits51 ). They totally rocked my face off. Percussion Gun is their “stand out” song according to the public and most critics but I think it pales in comparison to the rest of their set list. If you get the chance to see them I highly recommend going.
From the wonderful site Geekstir, this video blew my mind. What mostly surprised me was how I didn’t know this before and how something like this can blow my mind.
