It's Friday and overcast/ rainy here in San Francisco which has put me in a low-key mood. The weather has put me in kind of a Afro-beat mood (Sorry to those that don't enjoy my Afro-beat posts), therefore I'm going to share one of my favorite cuts from Afro-beat legend Tony Allen . For those ...

As you might of noticed, I didn't update this site yesterday. The reason for this is because I received a nasty virus lat in the afternoon which pretty much disabled my computer from getting on the Internet. I believe I've destroyed the virus, however it seems like there was plenty of damage ...
