Mulatu Astatke - Ethiopiques, Vol. 4: Ethio Jazz & Musique Instrumentale, 1969-1974

my love for this album spawned from will's old newsletter where he wrote an eloquent ode to mornings with "Tezata" at it's center and i've associated this very cozy n warm track with a quiet start to the day ever since. if you're lucky enough to stay inside today (like me) queue up this one and start your day off right. 😌😌😌😌😌

I really like Ethiopian Jazz. Mulatu Astatke is a favorite of mine! This single just dropped.

Wede Harer Guzo - hailu mergia

Completely instrumental and improvisational jazz, blues and funk fusion. Its a cornerstone of African psychedelic rock in my opinion. I highly recommend listening to Minlbelesh and avoiding Bati Bati.

Talking to strangers

There’s no key to happiness, but I think this is part of it. Ask the deli guy how his day is going. Tell the lady who held the door for you to have a good one.

Getting a coffee and going right back to bed

After I got up and showered on Friday morning, I went down to the coffee shop on my block to get breakfast. As I was on my way home, the woman walking behind me said, “Oh, you look so cozy. You look like you woke up and thought I’m gonna get myself a coffee and crawl right back into bed!” Dear reader, that is exactly what I thought when I woke up that morning!
