The Taliban has released a song confirming the war between Afghanistan and Iran.

From the song's lyrics they are telling Ibrahim Raisi :"We are ready to liberate Tehran ,We are ready to Reform Tehran (Iranian Government)...Our Mujahideen are ready for a big bloody Revolution." pic.twitter.com/BoSyyqW28l

1/ I tremendously enjoyed this interview with @PhizLair, which has given me cause to reflect on the condescending and cringey 0.0 review I wrote way back when. https://t.co/NsraIm6TTR

Funnily enough I had a phase during the iPod years where most of my playlist were country music songs

Nowadays I just listen to the music that is the sound of my own screams

If you’ve spent time in rural sub Saharan Africa one thing that might shock you is the popularity of American country music to the point where you can’t go to a bar, party, or wedding without avoiding it 🧵

The moment American county music reached Africa in the 70s it became instantly popular in the Anglophone so much so that many African singers at the time tried to emulate 70s American country singers

One of the most popular anti-apartheid albums in west Africa in the 80s was an attempt by local singers at making their variant of American country music

“Country themed” weddings are especially popular in rural parts of Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe even adopting country line dancing

Of course the question why is American country music popular with rural Africans of all people? Well it’s mostly because it’s the only foreign music they can relate to. Compare this contemporary Zimbabwean country music and you’ll see many similar themes to American country music

Rural Africans are socially conservative farmers and ranchers so naturally music about cows and trucks speaks more to them than pop or hip hop especially if it gives them an excuse to wear their cowboy hats and boots

The popularity of American country music can even be seen in arguably the most popular music genre in anglophone sub Saharan Africa that being Christian worship music with the integration of country style melodies

And to the converse Africans have added in their own styles and instruments to covers of American country music. So if you ever find yourself in rural Africa don’t be surprised by how popular Johnny Cash and Hank Williams are !

And one more for fun from the rural west of Kenya

More information to follow soon.

Here’s mine, please no bully

Michael Jackson and Prince were at a James Brown concert in 1983. James called up Michael mid performance to sing. Michael suggested that Prince be brought up as well, knowing Prince was high.

Prince embarrassed himself, then tried to run Michael over in the parking lot.… pic.twitter.com/ef27hY22Gx

The response:

To the white folks that have expressed anger/shock over my approval of A Thousand Miles' usage in the Spinabenz, Whoppa Wit Da Choppa, Yungeen Ace, & FastMoney Goon song Who I Smoke, I invite you to ask yourself why you feel this way & then read this: https://t.co/CSP2a5XByJ

I wanna know what moids are liking these days. By beautiful I mean more on the pretty side rather than just your favourite.

!augustlovers please let me know, I'm very interested

edit: adding my own

Mine is that I've been sick of Weird Al's schtick for like 15 years and looking back on it, he was never that funny in the first place.

!moidmoment

!dixie

I'll give the winner 3k dc and some other folx might contribute too!

Rules for the competition:

Kid Rock should release a new album the same day as Taylor Swift.

People are craving real music with thought-provoking and emotional lyrics. Who better to give it to them than Kid Rock?

I GUARANTEE his album would outsell and outclass hers!
