Shabazz Palaces - SWERVE The Reeping of All that is Worthwhile (Noir Not Withstanding)

Golly gosh, this is amazing. It's the same group as yesterday. According to Wikipedia they are a Seatle hip-hop collective led by Butterfly of Digable Planets.

We Are Amused

Chiharu is Japanese and when we were in a bar one time, and I'd let my stubble grow a bit too long, she started pointing at my chin, saying "Red, brown, black, gold" etc. It was the first time  I'd noticed that I had different coloured beard hairs. It was a big novelty for her. It's one of my favourite memories, since it made me chuckle!


Counting my whiskers, 
which've grown far too long, 
as if they're autumnal maple leaves -

"Red, brown, gold,
