Bongo Bongo Land (no Nigel Farage)

"Like goin' to Footlocker and seein' some Asics

Homeboy Sandman ft. Kurious & Aesop Rock - Lookout (remix)
(From Dusty album; 2019)



Riddle me this, Backpackman: how come I generally love Quelle Chris and usually hate Aesop Rock but the version of Homeboy Sandman's Lookout I dig is the remix not the original? Cannae pinpoint an answer for that question meself, all I can tell you is that this shit transports me to a parallel universe where London's Mr. Bongo record shop still exists and I'm still tryna get a refund from Kish for that crap Non-Prophets EP he recommended me.


Smooth B - I Want My Money Back
(From Top Shelf 8/8/88 compilation; 2007)

Instead of pulling their pigtails and giving them dead arms, try simply talking to that girl you really-really like.

I bet it was that 'Bounce' 12". I bought that there too and swapped it/gave it away a long time ago. Still remember the day I bought '5 Boros' and 'The Visualz' in the same visit, though. Brings a tear to me eyes.

Gotta love any record shop where I could cop Operation Doomsday and a near-mint copy of Spoonie Gee's Street Girl 12" in the same visit.

Thoughts on the new Tinashe album? Have yet to hear it, but as a fellow Tinashe enthousiast I'm interested in your opinion.

Didn't know she had one out tbh. Any good?

It's not racism when Rachel Riley does it said...

It's a total mystery how record stores such as Mr Bongo's went out of business. After all, you recall that anecdote of trying to blag a full refund on their wares so fondly.

I'd have settled for a credit note so I coulda bought Black Attack's Rep Da R.I 12" instead, thankyouverymuch.
