# from Apple Music - 9

I pulled my Decade songbook out of storage a few months back and have been thinking about a Neil Young cover.  Somehow I got sidetracked this week and ended up on a performance Neil did with Devo of Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black).  I won't bore you with a history lesson but I will say that if Neil decided to spend almost 10 minutes of Human Highway on the performance below, it must have meant something to him at the time.  Plus it's really fun to play!

Words and music by Neil Young/Jeff Blackburn/Devo/Crazy Horse.

LYRICS:
The comedy of man starts like this:
Our brains are way too big for our mother’s hips
So, nature, she devised this alternative:
We emerge half-formed and hope whoever greets us on the other end
Is kind enough
To fill us in
And, babies, that’s pretty much how it’s been ever since

Now the miracle of birth leaves a few issues to address
Like say that half of us are periodically iron deficient
So somebody’s gotta go kill something while I look after the kids
I’d do it myself, but what, are you gonna get this thing his milk?
He says as soon as he gets back from the hunt we can switch
It’s hard not to fall in love with something so helpless
Ladies, I hope we don’t end up regretting this

Comedy
Now that’s what I call pure comedy
Just wait until the part where they start to believe
They’re at the center of everything
And some all powerful being
Endowed this horror show with meaning

Their religions are the best
They worship themselves but they’re totally obsessed
With risen zombies, celestial virgins, magic tricks
In these unbelievable outfits
And they get terribly upset
If you question their sacred texts 
Written by woman-hating epileptics

Their languages just tend to confuse them
Their confusion somehow makes them more sure
Now they’re much too bright for the old superstitions 
But they’re yet to find a new one they won’t serve

Where did they find these clowns they elected to rule them
They recline in outrage at the 
These mammals are hell-bent on fashioning new gods
So they can go on being godless animals

Comedy
Their illusions that are all that they can see
Their horizons that just forever recede
How’s this for irony:
Their idea of being free
Is a prison of beliefs
They’ve every right to never leave

Comedy
It’s like something that a madman would conceive
The only thing that seems to makes them feel alive
Is the struggle to survive
But the only thing that they request 
Is something to numb the pain with
Until there’s nothing human left

Just random matter suspended in the dark
Hate to say it, but each other’s all we’ve got

Pure Comedy

La música Ecuatoriana siempre ha sido algo muy especial para mí. Cada vez que descubro una canción, un nuevo estilo o un disco de un artista Ecuatorianx me enamoro más y más de la cultura que me ha dado tanto. 

Hice esta mezcla para mí amigo Angelo Baque, artista y diseñador en Nueva York fundador de AWAKE una empresa de ropa. Angelo es Ecuatoriano nacido en la YONI como yo! :) 

Estoy siempre en la búsqueda de artistas nacidos en Estados Unidos con padres Ecuatorianos. Cuando nos encontramos nos quedamos hablando de nuestra juventud, la cultura que compartimos y todo lo que trae ser hijos de Ecuatorianos. La curiosidad es una de las cosas que tenemos en común, son las ganas de buscar más historias de música y arte en el Ecuador y su diáspora. Aquí les comparto esta mezcla para que otros jóvenes hijos de Ecuatorianos en el mundo pueden conocer el Ecuador y sus raíces a través esta música. 

Las canciones que están en esta mezcla son de todo un poco, quiero compartir las cosas que me han inspirado a continuar corriendo desde mi curiosidad. 

Gracias a Daniel Lofredo Rota (Quixosis) por compartir conmigo y ser generoso en enseñarme las joyas de Ecuador. Gracias a Sofia Bastidas <3

La portada son dibujos que hizo el artista Ecuatoriano León Ricaurte como parte de su libro Diseños Pre Hispánicos del Ecuador. De joven mis primos eran amigos de Leon y su familia. Siempre andábamos en su casa en Chipipe mirando sus pinturas y paseando en la playa que quedaba al final de la calle.

Music from Ecuador has always been special for me. Every time I find a new song or album I fall deeper in love with this culture that has given me so much. I made this mix for my friend Angelo Baque who is an artist, designer and owner of AWAKE. He’s Ecuadorian American like me. :)

Im always looking and meeting artists that are Ecuadorian American and we’re always sharing so many similar stories about our upbringing through our parents culture and how it felt living and growing up in the USA. Our eagerness to find more visual and sound/music work from Ecuador is always so deep. My hope is to continue these conversations through posting these mixes and more!

Thank you to Daniel Lofredo Rota (Quixosis) for sharing his wealth of knowledge with me and Sofia Bastidas for helping out with words and friendship.

The cover art is by León Ricaurte from his book Diseños Pre Hispanics del Ecuador. I remember hanging with my cousins who were friends with his family at Leon’s house looking at his paintings, eating food and hanging by the beach in Chipepe. <3

Enjoy

Ecuador Love 1 - DJ mix de Helado Negro

@filastine recorded a set for our Rootcast series. We thank him for the wonderful journey and leave you with his own words:

"Crowned: A Quarantine Mixtape was created on the ship Arka Kinari during a 14-day quarantine at anchor in the bay of Hilo, Hawaii. Corona was just a local beer when the ship sailed from México bound for Indonesia. The pandemic caught the crew mid-Pacific, the borders quickly slamming shut for all the nations along the planned route: the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Indonesia. The ship diverted north to Hawaii, one of the few landfalls still accepting vessels at sea. Ironically AK is a project to promote resilience to the disasters of climate change, promote energy-autonomy, and bring people together. But disaster came sooner than anybody imagined, freezing us all in an anxious purgatory.

We are now ruled by the crown. An invisible germ is our surprising global dictator. Like all royalty it is a parasite, and like all royalty it need to be overthrown. But as we retreated indoors we witnessed nature rebounding, the skies empty of pollution, and oil become near-worthless. This needn’t be an either/or choice, human well-being and the planets well-being aren’t mutually exclusive. Can we manifest a future of internal and external health, making this crisis into a portal? Or are we only capable of backing away from apocalypse when nature moves the battle lines inside our own bodies?

This mix reflects what I’ve heard these last weeks, filtered through the prism of the pandemic. You'll hear a lot from Mexico, the influence of the sea, and the technique of Hawaiian guitar applies to electronic music. My first slack-key DJ mixtape, with very little beat matching or key mixing. The moment calls for rhythm collisions and dissonance.

Like all media on the internet, this is free to consume but hides much labor. The track list is below, if you like the music then please buy it. Consider buying my music on bandcamp or sponsoring my efforts on Patreon here:

Thank you for listening, sharing and supporting.
Be careful with each other, so we can be dangerous together."
