here & now

It’s a great week in music: The Palaceer of Shabazz Palaces (and formerly: Digable Planets) took over blogging duties at Gorilla vs. Bear, Modeselektor are going to turn Berlin’s Fete De La Musique (that’s tomorrow) into a sweatfest at Mauerpark, and yet we keep returning and returning and returning to a track that first made the rounds in June 2009, “F Kenya Rip” by a semi-nonexistent project called Highlife. With this kind of heat in pretty much every corner of Europe, it’s the perfect soundtrack for leaving the screen and calling it a week and riding/driving out to the next lake/pond/river/ocean (whatever it is you fancy in your parts of the world)…
