The feast has begun!
I've done 2 full listens since yesterday.
I'm amazed that apart from the budding rock scene of the 70s, Zimbabwe also had a seemingly healthy Soul and Funk scene.
Taken aback by Harare Mambo's Shanga yangu, which totally sounds like Bill Whithers aint no sunshine😀

OTD, 25 years ago, Grover Washington Jr performed a few songs for The Saturday Early show.... He collapsed and passed on soon after...
Tonight, I spin some of my favorite works by him.

I thought Stockholm record stores were cool, but what I found in Malmö made me speechless!

Just trawled a few of the record stores around Sankt Eriksgatan street.
It's a pity i ran out of time (and money, because why does beer cost THIS MUCH in Stockholm?)
But, as usual, I scored a good one😌

Went ~30m underground to check out Sweden's 1st nuclear reactor.
This is hands down THE BEST hole in the ground I have ever seen.🥲
(I love digging holes OK?)

I've just spent ~40min with airport security, unpacking and disassembling one of my artefacts to show
A) it's not sinister
B) i know what it is
🫢
Pleasant chaps though, genuinely looked amused.
So far so good 😊

After the hell that's been this week, I cannot imagine a better way to unwind...... Digitizing my latest records.... that means Im better than your preferred streaming platform and maybe your national archives🥲😌 *sniggers*

Finally got my hands on Thomas Mapfumo's 1985, Chimurenga for Justice.
This to me is his 2nd most important album post Independence Zimbabwe😌
His most important album was definitely Corruption/Varombo Kuvarombo.

Past weeks have been hellish 😁
I am working on several tangible prototypes, a combination of arduino IoT, HomeAssistant and Trill Craft/Trill Flex
My desk is a reflection of my current state of mind🥹
Lot's of coffee... Jumper cables and paper.

This is the 3rd Zimbabwean election held while I am out of the country.
Each time I underestimate the mental toll it takes on me, following events, witnessing historical precedents being set and seeing hope fade away.
As always, I am hoping for a different outcome today, as I have always.
