Tidbits

-Congolese musical money making, new business model or just really really hilarious? Be sure to scroll down and read the description.

-Pitchfork re-releases Africa 100, a list of 99 tracks that you can actually play from their site meant to serve as an introduction to African music. It would be easy to make my usual snotty comments here but I really really love this, think it's great and therefore will refrain.

-"Middle Class in Africa": Because there actually is one ...a project that examines it. (This is just getting finished up so be on the lookout for more in the coming months)

-A really interesting slideshow format by Jina Moore on a Liberian land feud between siblings

-Insert Green Card joke here.

-This collection of photos on Buzkashi, the national sport of Afghanistan, is pretty cool. Just please ignore the bit about it being a "powerful metaphor for the country's politics".
