Thanks @festanervosa for the exercise

Last night was a Beautiful Mess of a release party, memorial, emancipation celebration, therapy session and paparazzi feeding frenzy 😆
Security had to abandon the idea of clearing the stage early on.
Thank you Mase, Dave, Pos, Smiles for changing my life.
In 2002 I booked a De La Soul show.
I somehow ended up experiencing ??? Cities / Countries on 5 Continents with them the past decade.
Tears are still flowing 18 days later but at least now there’s joyful ones in the mix knowing that so many are listening to the catalog today after such an unprecedented battle.

We lost him 365 days ago; so very missed.

Dave would not allow this 12 year old runt to out-mustache him 😂

#45Friday “Killing Me Softly” was a hit all over Latin America and there are forgettable covers from various counties en español.
This Roberta cover the other hand, can be considered equally as good as the original with that voice and those keys.

The Mayor of Shimokitazawa a.k.a Koco + Sushi were nice enough to organize something last minute - and people pulled up in the cold, on a Monday!
Nice tribute to Marlena Shaw (R.I.P.) and a little celebration for Taro’s Birthday as well.
Experienced my 2nd Japan earthquake - the audio is from my hotel speaker.
おもてなしに感謝します

#45Friday. You can buy this 7” for $5 on Discogs but you are encouraged to listen to Donnie “The Colored Section” LP in its entirety however you’re able - in the correct sequence
One of the Greatest Soul Albums of the 2000’s; super slept-on. @iamdonniesoul@giantstep@motownrecords
Throwback … this just showed in my FB memories from when I used to take the bus all over Mexico to dig for Rare Grooves while the Narco wars were heavy. Maybe not among my smartest decisions.
