Maapallo

My days...well, technically, my nights...often end with music.

This evening I watched an episode of Treme (I am catching up on Season 2).  As I've mentioned before, this show is a treasure trove of music.  Tonight I was thrilled to see Al Johnson perform Carnival Time.  I didn't realize the man was still alive.  Shame on me.

Between the tv and bed I often get caught in the glow of the computer screen.  Tonight I surfed through YouTube for a bit.

(I'd received an apologetic e-mail from an indie record company employee this afternoon...I am holding out just a bit longer to the hope that my complimentary EP (in CD form) promised to me by none other than Mr. Pond himself, months ago, might actually arrive sometime soon.)

I thought I'd finish my musical meandering with a listen to Love To Get Used, off the EP I am waiting for.  As my head started bopping (take a listen and tell me if you don't start bopping yourself...I will be surprised) my eyes and cursor scrolled down the sidebar of 'related' videos and I was startled to see Finnish text.

I clicked over, immediately curious.  And had to smile...and scratch my head.  Finnish reggae is, stunning in it of itself...conceptually...but how the heck are these two songs connected?  Maybe in the lyrics...  The song is entitled Earth, but that's how far I got in my translating.
