NGH!
Avatar 5:11pm northguineahills:

One of the best Ethiopian restaurants I've been to was in South Orange, NJ. I was there for work, and had an hour to kill before the next train came to take me back to the city. Two blocks from the train station, was the best Ethiopian restaurant I had the pleasure of eating at outside of Adams Morgan, DC.

I was just about to settle in with my new Upper Volta box set when, hey, it's all happening live. Here and Now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:13pm Gary:

Stanley! Is that the Numero Group set?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:13pm Gary:

I can't remember the best Ethiopian resto I've been to, but it was probably in Adams Morgan

@Gary: it is, indeed. Bobo Yeye - La Belle Epoque

That's a freaking great collection!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:17pm weinstein:

Where do you go for Ethiopian food in NYC? I've never been to one that matched my own DC experience. (And yay Gary!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:18pm Gary:

There was a great place in Brookyln, David, but I can't remember now exactly where it was ... Fort Greene, maybe?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:20pm Stanley:

@Gary: Just cracked the seal this evening but it'll have to wait.
I remember buying a few of these Éthiopiques CDs back then. Mahmoud Ahmed comes to mind. Mustn't go check as my partner is asleep in the bedroom.
Avatar 5:23pm northguineahills:

I'm a light sleeper, but my wife is a very heavy sleeper. I'd come home w/ friends while she was asleep, put on Merzbow or Richie Hawtin on full volume, and she'd have no clue the next morning. (wish I could sleep like that).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 5:23pm melinda:

Talk of Ethiopian food reminds me that I want to try making my own injera with teff flour. I've just started experimenting with gluten-free sourdoughs.

Amhara is the province where the rock-hewn churches are in Lalibela, Ethiopia. On my bucket list!
Avatar 5:29pm northguineahills:

Wow, I remember the first Ethiopiques I picked out was vol 8 in 2000. Can't believe they started in '98.

That there's Amharic script. I tried to teach myself Amharic, oh, thirty years ago. Lasted about a week.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:06pm Gary:

Dean! It's a syllabary, like Hindi, yeah? Seems like, but not sure
  6:09pm Dean:

You are correct, but it's not like I remembered even that fundamental characteristic!

Damnation, it's past bedtime. I've clicky-ed the whole episode to come back to like some tasty treat in the fridge for later.
Have fun everyone.

Ethiopian is the closest remaining language to Aramaic. I think Aramaic is still a Syriac liturgical language

Funny how that sounds like a banjo, or versa.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:33pm Artie:

What is the meaning of "Mèla Mèla"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:37pm Gary:

Hi Artie! Maybe "peace"? I actually looked it up but can't remember now
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:39pm Artie:

The sound of it repeated in song was just so hypnotic. My mind was filling in "phenom-e-non" until I looked up to see the song title.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:51pm Gary:

"Mèla Mèla" probably does *not* mean peace, now that I'm thinking about it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:58pm melinda:

This kind of reminds me of an old-time folk tune or hymn.

today i came home, and he had puked on my bed. sigh.

The only good cat I had w/ me had to go b/c of the new landlord, so my roommate who was moving out got him, I still got visitation rights. I've lost a few keyboards to a certain roommate's cat who liked to puke on it.

For some weird reason, my cat never pukes. Not even hairballs. Not one hairball in like 3 years

Ezra's an anomaly
Avatar 8:48pm steve:

well i might as well join this conversation: the one flaw of one of my two cats is that she will eat until she throws up... i have to let her eat for 2-3 minutes then go over and pet her and slow her down. i don't understand how she could not have learned not to do this by now, just for her own sake.

I hate to laugh at that image, but it cracks me up for some reason. Good for you for intervening, Steve!

this psyches me up. i'm a few electrical connections away from being able to listen to my (non-computer file) music collection again. if i stay up late i can listen to my Aster Aweke tapes tonight!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:29pm coelacanth∅:

there are dj premiums and albums i won last marathon that i've never even listened to, because of technical difficulties.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:30pm Gary:

Y ... you got Aster Aweke t-t-tapes, C?
Avatar ♥ 9:30pm hyde:

@coel go for it! i miss my analog setup. hoping to get mine back up soon too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:38pm coelacanth∅:

...yeah, my volume control on my receiver would suddenly turn itself up - all the way! so i jammed a hunk of wood in there at 1/2 way up and only listen to sources that have their own output control. i still cannot afford to have it fixed, but i suddenly realized i could use my emergency back up amp if i ran the speaker wires through junction box, which i already owned. i just had to buy some rca connectors - which i just got in the mail. (so i have 2 amplifiers, hooked up to different components)
