Theophilus, Menahan Street Band, Oroma & Maki Oh
Summer Night’s Groove I’m really digging Theophilus London‘s song Rio. The Menahan Street Band are working a seriously serious groove: the type of groove that seems to provide the perfect soundtrack to a humid, breezy cool summer night; that perfect groove that draws you into its layered syncopation, but is self-assured enough not to require […]

Gone Fishing…In New York City
March 27, 2013
Actually no fishing will be involved. Just a lot of eating, sleeping & walking. To mark my trip to the Big Apple (by the time this post is published I will likely be asleep on the plane, head dangling in the aisle, tongue forming a runway for a line of drool whilst I receive nasty […]
Trippy Triptych: Sufjan Stevens, Band of Horses + Iron & Wine
March 11, 2013
Having spent the past weekend at a yoga seminar wherein hours were spent posing, back-bending, and otherwise stretching (and laughing a lot; our yoga teacher was a believer in the delivery of yoga in joke format), Monday morning came with a renewed craving for Sufjan Stevens. This seemed somewhat counterintuitive since I assumed the yoga (and […]
Five (African) Things: Zina Saro-Wiwa, Peju Alatise, Laura Mvula, Ava DuVernay and African Villas
March 9, 2013
I have become addicted to cupcakes & cashmere, Emily Schuman’s blog not the actual things (although I’m not one to scoff at a nice cupcake and/or plush cashmere). One of the features I enjoy most on her blog are her Five Things posts, a collection of bits of inspiration and sources of enjoyment/amusement. I’m totally […]
Rhythm & Blues Triptych: Robert Glasper, Gary Clark Jr. + Lauryn Hill
February 27, 2013
I usually obsess over one song, listening to it over and over until I can stand to no more. Perhaps it is true that with age comes wisdom – or at least an expansion of one’s obsessive tendencies. Over the past couple of days I’ve been obsessing over not one, but three R&B songs. This […]
Gary Clark Jr + You Saved Me
November 4, 2012
Gary Clark Jr. is a phenomenal blues musician with exceptional guitarwork. When I first heard You Saved Me I was taken by all that reverb, so so heavy and so so good. And his talent isn’t confined to his amazing guitarwork, the man sings too! Love this song and can’t wait to dig into his […]

Source – Nana Ghana for Refinery29 My week has been jam-packedwith work, light on sleep and heavy on music. I am extremely glad to start a a new weekend and stay as toasty and cozy as possible in what looks to be the first taste of this winter’s arctic weather. As much as snow tends to […]
