"Play the best song you know," they said, into the phone. "Okay, but after that we hang up." "Okay, okay." "I love you," they said, it was the morning where they were, the sun cold outside their bedroom window, the pillow warm. Slowly, clicking, fumbling, placing the phone. Mini-Elvis bobblehead waited, perched on the windowsill. The flat and fanning horns came in, and suddenly the phone had all the power in the world.
Oranges around the world, salt from here to there, oil under the sand, diamonds impossible, the mountains to see it all. Curvature, bodies and earth.

Posted by Dan at December 10, 2010 12:49 PMHey, this is great. Soul Sides tipped me off to Ernest Djedje (djedje is his last name) a few years back. Zadie Bobo is the best track, but also check this one out -- Zibote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAENRGTyx9c
Posted by Ben at December 10, 2010 10:23 PMThanks for this, the Ernest Djedje song is spectacular. It's been a while since I've heard anything that instantly made me feel like everything is going to be alright.
Fuck it, I'm not going to college next year.
