Jhameel - “Bernal Heights”
You’d think that someone with a degree in Arabic from UC Berkley in the middle of training to be a US Army officer would have his mind made up about his career path, but not so for Minnesota-born Jhameel. When he realized he couldn’t support America’s presence in the Middle East, an issue he writes about in the song “Soldier’s Daughter”, he dropped out of training and decided to dedicate his life to making music. Thankfully for him, he’s actually great at it. Along with writing all of his own music and lyrics, he also sings and plays every single instrument on each of his albums. But it’s no surprise that he’s good with words; along with a masterful proficiency in Arabic, Jhameel (Arabic for “Beautiful”) is also fluent in Korean, Spanish, and Russian. His poignant yet catchy lyrics coupled with baroque pop orchestrations that would make Sufjan Stevens smile make Jhameel’s The Human Condition. Download it for free on his website!
See you next Wednesday!

Winston Wolf once said, “Just because you are a character doesn’t mean that you have character.”
The same also applies to soul.

Adele + Daft Punk - Something About The Fire
My head has been foggy all day. I’m fucking fried. I can’t think, but I can hear the dry crackling of the synapses in my brain.
I’m pretty sure my soul has a hangover, because I just read an Olive Garden review by an octogenarian in North Dakota, and it was the highlight of my day.

Mmm, this brings order to the inside of my head. So much delicious flow.
