In some un related news, this ugandan crazy friend of mine decided to hook me up with some vid. by abdu mulaasi of "Swimming Pool"fame. First off, i have a problem with that phrase. "of something fame"..wat does that actually mean?
in even some unrelated unrelated to the above post, Crystal of Sanyu FM fame ((gag)) was reading a menu from some restaurant ((okay, Bambo nest Bugolobi)) pointing out the errors. Some of that food aint right. U know how u go to restaurants and they are trying to come off as sophisticated so they add all sorts of things to their menu's to make them seem longer than the usual "chips, chicken, chaps salads" thing.. ((salads..another ugandan thingy that makes us unique))..which reminds me.a few yrs back, there was this add (cant remember wat for, possibly MTN) of some guy in a take away making his order "can i have chips, chicken..." n in the back ground someone shouts "Saako ne papaali".. LOL. now that combination in the same pack...
which also reminds me of some wierd things people ask for at shops/restuarants
1. can i have toilet paper, doom and watermellon?
2. can i have beer and two eggs?
Nuff said!
back to the first unrelated thing.abdu malaasi, the song is "tuwebuyungu"..which u can see here .YOU Tube came! but i was asking my friend if abdu cant sing a song under 3 minutes, gosh! these r not congolese tunes which taaakke foooooooooorever in some foreign language i dont get. As per usual, he is talking about women, love and importance issues. interesting..u shd check it out.
I remember a whiles back when we cldnt even begin to imagine that you would be caught dead with ugandan music on ur casette tape (yes), then cd now portable music player..we've come a long way!
yesterday on the eviction show, nameless (kenyan) provided the entertainment and i could help but think the only people who could really appreciate his vibes were East Africans which shows the how big and yet how small the world really is. You know, sometimes when we want to break out and become "stars" we dont understand just how big this task is.
in ug u release uwa song and depending on ur friends u get some air play u become a celeb, there aint no time like the present to start on this career,right? if u are lucky, u will hit in Kenya, TZ and Rwanda, not bad, 3 countries. If u are reallly lucky, then maybe south africa then u can go on those tours..i hear Sweden.
For Americans and Europeans on the other hand, being a muscician is a life choice u make when u are still a chicklet because just making it in Montana dont count or in Tenesse..u should be a recognised name in all the states possibly because this business is sooo commercialised which is why shows like Pop idol or American pop idol are the ONES! they take u from no one, to someone in one heart beat.
eh! wont get into this discussion now, first need a doze of E! then i be back.speaking of which, if ever there was a useless channel on Telly, E! is it. u spend time watching it and u keep thinking "wat are u doing?????" but u keep watching as if in trance..which i guess is important if u also listen to a useless channel like HOT 100 so u can know when they r spinning yarn or tellin u the truth. By the way, i have no beef with 100, i just ask that the DJ's do not say anything.the mood is right after all its the station with the "mostest" hip hop and r n b, then the dj's start talking and u just looose the plan. by the way, if u want to dodge news all day but still want interesting music to listen to, hot 100 is ur station..toooootallll blonde encouragement!
Meanwhile as a result of my meeting on saturday im expected to produce oba 1500 proposals..four words "in your dreams, buddy!"

abdu mulaasi?! i think you are in real need of some serious music hook ups my dear!
LOL! Saaako ne paapaali, LOLLLLL!!! I can't stop choking.
I actually had the pleasure of meeting Abdu coz my friend Chris was editing his Swimming Pool video.
Very shy guy by the way. He hides behind his music like most artistes I know. Loud and brash behind the mic and shy infront of women.
This is very cool stuff you got here. That's why the web is worth surfing. Keep it going.
