    Kid Charlemagne Does Ramadan, a Chronicle

    I've worked in a lot of offices where 100% of the staff are doing Ramadan. Basically nothing happens for the whole.month. People can maybe do a few hours in the morning but then nothing happens. No one gets anything done. Actually offices in Muslim countries close early at like 2pm during Ramadan.

    what does trump want?

    yeah maybe. but surely you misdescribe it when you use a word that describes something from the 1930s. it’s new it needs new vocabulary. does the historical parallel get us any closer to understanding. or is it tied into internet debates where everyone uses it to de-normalize what’s going on now...

    The New American Folk Canon

    not the same as what you’re saying jungle/d&b have become folk music in the England. in the sense that it’s a long lived music accompanied by a set of practices and is country-specific and subset specific. in the summer where I’m from every now and then there’s a soundsysten set up in a pub...

    Poems over tunes

    this has a more than a tinge of the midwest about it in every sense. this gets closer to the right way of speaking. storytelling works better for this kind of thing than anything abstract. musically it's too cheesy. but it's closer to what i'm looking for. there's a couple of bits where he...
