\nSomething is poppin’ in the state of Denmark.<\/p>\n

Troels<\/a> (of Firehouse Sound<\/a>) recently hipped me(space) to Lady Smita<\/a>, a Roxanne Shante song-embedding<\/a> dancehall diva who makes punaany-power traxx with digital Danish producers like Maffi<\/a>, uses Boba Fett for her profile pic<\/a>, and starts her heroes list like so —<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Which made me think: the MIA is a timely meme, an interesting meme, a catchy meme. May a thousand more poco<\/a> \/ pomo<\/a> riot grrl DIY media-savvy MCs bloom. (E.g.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

&<\/p>\n

a little closer to home (but still on the internet), I recently stumbled upon this funky, dancehall-inflected, chintz-synth-trumpet wielding “dhol beat” over at the webpage for one of my favorite local Indian restaurants. (Haven’t made a proper announcement yet, but I moved back to Cambridge not long ago, which I’m v happy about.) Inman Square’s Punjabi Dhaba<\/a> is the bomb, if you didn’t know. Good, cheap eats & bhangra videos on repeat. & what a treat it was to find this fine splash music. I’ve already played it out twice. Nice!<\/p>\n
