Tell Me :
Talk
For all you hordes of art lovers, the new and improved RastaSufi flag...
1) The glyph in the upper right now says "superheavy" in urdu.
2) The word "superheavy" refers not just to the band, but also to the
99 Beautiful Names of Allah, particularly numbers 53 and 54. [en.wikipedia.org]
"Superheavy" is just another word for "JAH".
3) In this sense, the band name "superheavy" does indeed refer to
"muhammed ali", not the boxer, but rather to the translation of the
phrase: "Beloved of Allah". Another way to translate "muhammed" is
"Allah Allah" which would make the whole phrase "Allah Allah Allah."
4) Most people, when asked how many colors are in the RastaSufi flag,
will answer "7" or "8". But there are only six. The deep purplish scarlet in
the upper right is exactly the same color as the muted bluish violet at the bottom.
Thus you are reminded to not believe even your own eyes, without checking
first with people who see things very different. Different backgrounds, overstand?

I never realized that insomnia was so prevalent.
Nice "Love Train" quote. Seriously, I'm not beating up on you. I enjoy your posts. I'll argue good-naturedly when it strikes me, but I look forward to reading what you concoct each day.
Two songs on this. In the first, AR confirms that his sense of a
pop love song is too sugary for us. But in the second, his sense
of pure music, outside of pop conventions, is breathtaking and
trippy. thanks for posting.
aka SHE!
damn damn damn how could we have missed that one!?
So any pre-islamic Americans would be Sufi-USA?
Yes. Except for any unforeseen Wipe Out, on the way to Suf City.

Is that the short form of 'Suffragette City'?
Close. Very close unfortunately. Suffer-gette City.
hmmm...as opposed to the service I receive on my local airline carrier, which is Suffer-Jet.
Yeah. Suffer-all-kinds-a-fcukcrap. But of this we can say no more. We have
been firmly instructed telepathically by the imaginary entity SHE to become a
non-prophet organization and keep ourselves tethered, however loosely,
to the here and now. We trying, but as the one-who-shall-not-be-named once
sang, "old habits die hard".
tho' The Unnamed One also sang, "if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need". So TUO really is all over the map on this I'm afraid.
Talk about your favorite band.

The ending of "Warring People" (of all songs) where her voice keeps cracking is my favorite Joss vocal on the disc by far.

Dave's back with the Blackbirds producing yet another, this time an EP for
Orianthi. Just like with his own album and Joss's, took less than a week
(Don Was also only takes about a week, that is, with most of his clients).
Orianthi just released a sneak peak:

Finding stuff out:
1. Surfing around, pleased to discover that there are many individuals, in Africa and
the Caribbean and India, Europe, and the USA who consider themselves "Rasta Sufi"
or at least strongly influenced by both philosophies.
2. When you think Sufi, you don't have to think Muslim. Sufi is a pre-Islamic mystical
tradition. Muhammed himself was almost certainly Sufi, just like Jesus was Jewish.
The Joujouka musicians are Sufi. Many Sufis, like Rastas, and unlike hierarchical Muslims,
are advocates of music and dance and ganja. Sufis have at times been called "whirling
dervishes." Sufism stretches unbroken from AR Rahman's India deep into black Africa.
3. Sufi proverb 1: "A young seeker sought guidance on the Sufi way. The teacher counseled,
'Go away and fall in love, then come back and see us.'"
4. Sufi proverb 2 :"Let's go sufi now, everybody's learning how, come on a sufari with me."
5. Many of the exotic sounds on SuperHeavy's debut and on Damian's smash album
"Distant Relatives" derive from Sufi musical traditions. Listen to the swirling Joujouka-like
Sufi sounds on "Nah Mean" that thoroughly distinquish the track from most American rap
and Jamaican toasting:

Marianne wrote in her book how Jagger danced to Indian ragas - a mad dervish dance. She thought he was God

One possible impediment to getting into the whole Bollywood thing is
the much lower budgets and hence much lower production values. But
the visuals in the following clip are almost as sumptuous as those from
Hollywood's golden age, with a rich and well-recorded AR soundtrack...
