To separate this primitive and all-powerful Dionysian element from tragedy, and to construct a new and purified form on the basis of an un-Dionysian art, morality, and conception of the world. This is the tendency of [insert your favorite artist here] as it is now clearly revealed to us.

Africa 100 is compilation of afrobeat songs compiled by Pitchfork Media writer Joe Tangari in 2005. The collection of songs was a result of Tangari’s article titled “The Indestructible Beat”. The article is a comprehensive study on the history of the afrobeat music genre and it’s artists. The end of the article features a track-by-track analysis of songs referenced in the article – coinciding with the 100 song collection.
In 2008 the song compilation and article were reported on by the Whats In My iPod Blog – who aided in the distribution of the compilation by posting the collection to the file hosting service Sharebee.
The compilation is also widely distributed on various torrents.

Posted: November 10th, 2009 | Filed under: News | No Comments »Though few New York bands ever got the full Strokes treatment, the lure of big money and instant fame permeated the late nineties–early aughts scene.

“Over the past month in Afghanistan it became clear that a Presidential runoff vote between President Hamid Karzai and challenger Abdullah Abdullah would need to take place. The Obama administration continued to deliberate on whether to commit further troops to the conflict, and at least 46 U.S. service members were killed, including 14 in two separate helicopter crashes today. A recent U.N. report recorded 1,500 Afghan civilian deaths in the first six months of 2009 alone, describing this as the deadliest year for civilians in Afghanistan since the start of the U.S.-led war against Taliban eight years ago. ” link

“Lord help me out / Save my soul / Need to find a new route / I don’t even hear what other niggas talking about / Call me a hipster as long as you’re a listener”
“We all make mistakes…yes / No worries I just kill a bitch with success / While she at home stressed out eating ice cream / I’m at the Grammys living out a nice dream / No bitch on arm, just my words and my stoner charm / And my dimples deep I smile at peace / Cause’ I went out and got what most yall seek”
