My Life in the Bush of Ghosts: A Return
















Some cool items to check out: Amos Tutuola's The Palm-Wine Drinkard and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts from the 1950s and the Byrne-Eno collaboration, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1981)  -- plus remastered edition (2006).  

Hard to believe it's getting on thirty years since these first blew my mind . . . or that I was still a teenager at the time . . . In any case, think world beat, global, Earth Day, rhythms, beats, backloops, eeriness, dreamscapes  . . . all perfect for long distance night driving, among other things . . . I'd love to see feedback from anyone else familiar with these artscapes . . .

Today's Rune: The Self.

Erik, funny, I come visit your blog and what do I see? My current favorite listening. Man, we are so connected.
