Entry written thanks to netflix

[oakfarm]

You know I watched the first two episodes of netflix's Cocaine cowboys. One thing was that they mentioned Gloria Estefan, Miami Sound Machine with the song Conga. So of course I remembered Mitchell and Webb Jane Austin sketch there Robert Webb as Mr Darcy informed us that: “A gentleman does not conga”. (Then he starts dancing to some Britney/ Max Martin tones instead, because anachronisms are always funny.) Just thought I should share.

Well on the same site I also saw Rhythm & flow. I grew up in North Sweden,. I want to write that I grew up by a forest, that I grew up in the frozen north, in the land of reindeers. But with other words I grew up in an upper, academic middle class neighbourhood. And hip hop wasn’t a big part of that. Hip hop somehow told me that “911 is a joke, in your town”, but not much more. However, it's very a creative - and I think I dare to write flamboyan - culture. I like that.
