It’s really a shame that Nusrat died before he and Eddie Vedder could collaborate on a full record. Can’t find an actual video, so no moving pictures, but this song is good:

Also a shame that Jeff Buckley died before he could work with ali Kahn.

That’s a terrific soundtrack album. I think “In Your Mind” is probably my favorite Johnny Cash tune. i miss him too.

I miss Agnes Morehead too…

with NFAK..

That goes double for Natalie Wood, although Butthead doing Chis Isaac doing Wicked Games would rock.

Indeed. Let’s start a ‘X impersonating Y doing Z’ movement on Twitter!

Will never forget the amazing performance I saw of Nusrat at Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley many years back, performing more traditional Qawwali music.
His lumbering mass wobbled awkwardly onstage, but he was pure grace and authority once the performance started. Pretty much a religious experience for me (almost convinced me of a need to convert to Sufism). The memory still brings chills.
Fela Kuti, another one of my faves, died just a couple weeks before Nusrat. Great losses, both.

Nah. Pairing Vedder with NFAK is like pairing a ’72 Maverick with a Rolls Royce.

The entire soundtrack is quite good, but their two tracks are standouts.

Wow, Eddie’s really let himself go.

All this I miss Great Person stuff but we’re running out of fools and folly to ridicule afresh! I hear Cheney was on TV this morning.
What a loser, that guy.

Goldmember at Preteen Wisdom blog in financial trouble again. It sounds like health related but not insurance related (low on hooch?). We must help.

“Liberals might be more tolerant of Obama’s patient maneuverings and brilliant gamesmanship if they tried to look beyond their surreal expectations.”
Amen. Seems like many leftists actually believed that crap from the right about Obama being the Magic Negro.
Magic he ain’t, and Negro only 50%, but one hell of a politician?
Absolutely. I mean, he’s only 49, and became president after only a 13-year career in politics without any family dynasty behind him.
Let him politicize, people. We can plant watermelon seeds in fried chicken compost manure if we wants to grow us some Magic Negroes.
(I am curious to read others’ recipes for growing Magic Caucasians.)
Amazing politician.

I found some more accordian musak from an autre source.
Perhaps your Nutrat was the squeezebox player on this one?
Anyhow, the band is “La rue ketanou” which as I understand it is bastardized francais for “the street that WAS ours” (emphasis added), since I don’t speak surrender language, perhaps I am quite off base. Or is it bass? Qui something?
Anyhow, perhaps Nutrat’s spirit lives on here?
You could always say that this song as about gay (as in homosecksyouall) parisns and not about anything else, but then that would be ironic. As in Fe3(somesuch science approved by our masters!)
ACGW(erCX)If’D is real. For those of you acronymically challenged ACGW(erCX)If’RD is the scientifical symbol for Anthropomorphic Caused Global Warming (er Climate eXchange) Is f’Reelz Dumbass.
I know, lingustically the first sentence of that last paragraph is silly, but then. Ain’t we all?
