Is anyone still following up to date this blog? It's been almost two years since I last checked in and I'm overwhelmed by all the music in there right now. Anyone who cares to recommend me anything I missed in the past years/months?

I forgot how good this blog is. Has there been any chat about Francis Bebey's 'African Electronic Music 1975-1982' anywhere on here?

i think 69 always used to play some bebey on his KUSF show, with some other stuff not a million miles away. worth checking for tips.

I was enjoying the Bebey comp until I got to the song where he goes on about beating his wife for not obeying him :(
This is a great recent Awesome Tape: http://www.awesometapes.com/2012/04/manka-le-phallang-mokhosi-side-1.html

I heard him play his cassettes live a little while back in W. DC. It was great. He has a label now, that has re-released two tapes.

I can't get on this site at work. Any idea why "Websense SEX is filtered?"

I need to catch up on the site a bit too. The Kweysha Seta tape he posted Jan 6, 2011, is a favorite. Just alien, wild. Highly highly recommend.
