filing his reports from the Starbucks inside the gated compound.

there's a coffee shop here which looks exactly like an nyc brunch spot. in fact it looks exactly, exactly like the decor of nowadays. except it has caged flamingoes out the back.

Sudan, Sri Lanka. Loads of places. Just type 'IMF Debt Restructuring' into a search engine and you'll get a bunch of recent articles on them doing it all over the place.

no idea at all. on sunday I walked past a building vibrating with religious music. today the radio was playing us rap with some bars that ended every line on the word 'pussy'

was the word 'pussy' in english or french or lingala or some other language? please i need to find this song so that i can play it at the party!!

It was in English, sounded like current us radio rap, the kind of thing you'd hear on hot97. It was about eight lines of a verse I think.

and was it

i love me some pussy
i get so much pussy

or

your a big pussy
im going to punch you in the face for being a pussy?

the other day at nowadays I saw a bristolian dj absolutely alienate a peak time dancefloor by playing a rap tune which kept going on about someone's dick beating up a pussy. exactly the kind of thing to make the nowadays clientele uncomfortable. after half an hour of that she played undancable almost autechre beats. enjoy those kinds of surprises.

he was working all angles, he had a lot of oppotunity, every line ended in pussy. you should try that with all your river poems today

it's raining today so im going to stay in and annoy people on the internet. maybe do a bit of housework too.

saw a massive billboard in the city center that said 'AMAPIANO'

people here quite frequently make a squeaking noise that sounds like General Levy in Incredible

 

[other_life]

^ was gobsmacked to see him do that with his mouth and learn it was not a sample

[shakahislop]

I wonder a bit if that's a central african thing that somehow made it to the lips of general levy. pure speculation though, there aren't a load of connections between there and London I think, but who knows

walked around a bit tonight to find food. rutted dirt roads without streetlights, massive puddles in the ruts, mud, trying to not get your shoes wet, all the lads sitting outside bars at 6pm on a tuesday, flickering smokey fires on the street, battered taxis going down dark streets. i take back what i said about african cities being the same, i haven't been to one like this before, it feels more like karachi or new york than anywhere else in terms of the energy, it's more chaotic. but there's also a thing going on along the main boulevards with plasticy building facades, brightly lit shops and burger shops. always hard to judge but it feels just on the wrong side of being too sketchy to explore like that i think

you must have been to nairobi? compare/contrast please
similarly sketchy perhaps - i got mugged twice in a single night in NBO, once at gunpoint, both times by cops

i watched that youtube last night and had some moments of nostalgie
