No getting around playing this CERTIFIED(TM) banger on tomorrow night's show. Cheikha Remitti, Yakhti Yakhti b/w Goudi Maaya Ya Touila (Edition Atlas, date u/k). The cover art gives the impression that the 45 comes with a free dress pattern. (It doesn't.) www.wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

This isn’t a moment that requires a lot of analysis is it
This is Renee Good.
She was a mother of a six-year-old child.
She was an American citizen.
She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”
And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.

Noisy compared to 2020 RE, but the sound & cover images on this OG are crisper, punchier. Racionais MC's, Raio X Brasil - Liberdade De Expressão (Zimbabwe, 1993). Sometimes love for faves fades; I've been listening to these guys for over a decade & it just grows with every listen
