In a perpetual state of transitioning resplendence.

Long driveway
give all your cares away
look at the skies above
look at the morning dove

Look at another day
sweet little runaway
running through the high cornways
scratches that do feel real

@kevwe_od Big fan of the post-Nigerian Civil War psychedelic funk/rock movement here.

Eastern Nigeria had some of the best bands that indeed need to be understudied today:

The Wings
The Hykkers
War-Head Constriction
Semi-Colon
Foundars 15

Seen Train Dreams an unhealthy number of times for a movie so brilliantly piteous.

While I’m inadvertently haunted by Will Patton’s narratorial style, I’m more intrigued by how Nick Cave felt writing the OST knowing he’s sadly, lost 2 sons.

Grief heals what it doesn’t kill.

Interestingly, Oriental Brothers International Band that popularized the funky rock and post-civil war Igbo highlife genre at the time, essentially did so as a coping mechanism to heal their listeners from the trauma of the war.

The Biafran War alongside the Vietnam War were amongst the first major conflicts televised to a global audience.

In response to images of malnourished children that were globally publicised, Norway and other international agencies sent stockfish as aid to combat malnourishment.

[Nigeria Stories @NigeriaStories]

Every time you cook that Egusi soup you always use stock fish abi?

Do you know where stock fish is produced?

Oya see it here and retweet too

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) was also established as a result of the famine in then Biafra.

Students of History of Humanitarian Aid know that same war birthed what is now known as neo-humanitarianism; a shift from charity to rights based interventions.

Whoever curated the nexus of Polo Ralph Lauren and Ralph Lauren Purple Label, debuting on a Milan runway, is totally brilliant.

Even more brilliant, is playing Nina Simone’s “Sinnerman” as the models did their Preppy and New Yorker walks.

[Noel @BeingsNotBins]

“Ogun Isoye” with Nomolos on same album told an even better story.

Modenine's critically acclaimed Cry featuring Nnenna from the album E Pluribus Unum

I will always revel at the melodic bliss Lauryn Hill screaming “My Joy” on ‘Zion’ presents me.

A Thief Called Grief

Grief isn’t brief
Life isn’t either

Life is a fief
Get a breather

Grief isn’t lief
Life maybe

Grief is reif
robs daily

Time is a soother
Or not

Grief is a bother
time is nought

So what’s life without grief
A property for the thief

The inexplicable art of being a young Elijah Wood in The Cranberries’ “Ridiculous Thoughts” video.

[Noel @BeingsNotBins]

@IamEfue Loaf love? Eish!

If there was any justice in the world, ingesting that thing should give you a permanent residence in the abyss, Miss.

[Noel @BeingsNotBins]

A loaf loathe tweet? God’s green planet isn’t plummeting afterall.

Liking bread is a huge character flaw
