@ mariano from-a-few-playlists-ago: yeah, total language geek myself -- looked up Malayalam, i remembered correctly that it was based in India, but did not know it was one of 22 languages there (geez the older i get, the more i realize how astoundingly ignorant i am of other languages) . . . this *somehow* led to bingeing out on endless versions of "Make Me Smile" -- ??!!

Dengue Fever, who essentially of course started as a tribute band of that kind of thing, made a really wonderful doc of their trip to Cambodia called Sleepwalking Through The Mekong, it doesn't contain any archival stuff, but it's great to see the footage of them interacting with the people and playing the music for them.

Hi all burning it down in style...Great show Nate! I took a long walk today and around 2/3 of the people weren't wearing face masks (I live in California where it's required supposedly). I keep trying to remind myself just to keep my distance. We can't control anyone else's behavior. I hope someday more people will be awakened and more empathetic, though... I have hope.
