In 2013 I had a vision of this sound, an edm track loaded with the power of mantra and the simplicity of true voice. I worked with a producer for 5 years before distributing this first song in 2018. GANESH is the Hindu Elephant headed God, the remover of obstacles. It is my joy to share it with you:

"Well let the wild winter wind bellow and blow
I'm as warm as a July tooooomaaaatoooo
There's peaches on the shelf, potatoes in the bin
Supper ready, everybody come on in
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
Taste a little of the summer
My Grandma put it all in jars"

Best live show I’ve ever seen—it was 1977, I think? #FridayNightJukebox #ToddRundgren #GoodbyeOrHello https://youtu.be/xIacuOjtanQ?si=7EFkqvuyk48_3pdY
I’ve been thinking that since May is AoNZ Music Month that maybe we should squeeze some of that into the #JukeboxFridayNight theme either this week or next.
#AotearoaNewZealandMusicMonth theme? Or #AotearoaMusicMonth or… something else? Idk, just a passing thought.
#FridayNightJukebox (bc I always mess up which tag is the right one).
I missed all the music hashtags this week. I've been busy with a couple of my #FOSS projects (I'll link the source code when they're in a good state for external contributions). Anyway, here's what I'm listening to right now.
Glacial Domination by Frozen Soul

Turns out there’s enough awesome songs related to the #FridayNightJukeBox #RainOrShine theme to keep me going until Monday, so I don’t think I’m gonna even get to the other theme.
‘Here’s so rain’ by Black Submarine

If you don’t know Black Submarine, you should check them out. This was a post-Verve project from Nick McCabe and Simon Jones, with some other cool folk. ‘New Shores’ is a great album.
I went looking for a link to Missy Elliott’s All N My Grill on my subscription streamer. Really digging listening to it again but then an American male rapper starts in English! Big Boi? Where’s MC Solaar en français? Turns out I had a European version of the CD back in the day. 
That’s a global music empire tailored to local circumstance. Well played. Here’s the European version.

Last one: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. That thing. That thing. That thing.

The Roots with the amazing Erykah Badu. I was living in Germany at the time the video was on heavy rotation on MTV Europe. #HipHop50#FiftyYearsOfHipHop #TheRoots #ErykahBadu #FridayNightJukebox

There was an intense huddle at a table in the college canteen one morning in First Year. When I sat down it turned out it was De La Soul’s Three Feet High and Rising on vinyl was being passed around reverently, the outer and inner sleeve being pored over. That LP cover though: punk and hippie and very Hip Hop. Something very new had arrived.

My favourite Arrested Development track is Revolution from the Malcolm X soundtrack. Speech’s social media presence is one of the few things I miss from the Other Site. I found this more recent live version on YouTube and it is a track meant to be engaged with live.

The Beasties’ Sure Shot is one of my all time favourite tracks. Their run of albums - Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, and Ill Communication - is kind of my college years soundtracked, from leaving school through to a summer in the US on student work visa. Good times with the Beasties.

One of the college mates I was living with in Berlin, had Ice-T on the stereo all the time. As a Metaller he also had the new Bodycount album. There was Hip Hop and Head Banging (I had a lot of hair then). He’s died since and Ice-T always reminds me of that place then.

#FridayNightJukeBox German HipHop, oh ja, #GermanHipHop is a thing.
Check out this great article about some of the history and the 40 top rappers in Germany.
Any theme for #JukeboxFridayNight / #FridayNightJukebox yet? How about #ChilledOut?
@irix @AnneleiseHall @zyk How about #WokeTunes for this week's #FridayNightJukebox ?
@AnneleiseHall @zyk just throwing in the more common tag in case anyone has a saved search for #FridayNightJukebox and has some inspiration. Correction, I always get confused, I think your original one is more commonly used.
