The (new) rules
Alright, before we get re-started let me lay down some ground rules:
I’ll only post
- music from countries I’ve been to or will soon visit, OR
- music directly related to experiences in my life
I don’t want to stray too far here, but if I stick to the above two rules we’ll keep things in line. I’ll also be able to use my own photos and travel anecdotes this way.. which makes the posting way easier.
The second rule is there because if I stumble into a great Tunisian dance party in Paris there’s no reason, as far as I’m concerned, that I can’t write about it.
And with that, we’re off…
ps- if you, as in you, the reader, have been somewhere with great music then please get in touch and we’ll put together a guest post.









Hi Matt, I am curious what we are about to hear from you.
Have nice Trips and when you stumble upon something interesting, please let us know.
Nice greetings from Hamburg Germany
Yours Frank
Matt,
nice idea to set up these rules, plus a very beautiful idea to add some personal travel stuff. I think I’m gonna like this place even more after the change …
Best wishes from a Hamburg citizen (greetings, Frank!) now being at the amazing little island of Samos, Greece. As soon as I pick up some really original local music (hard to find these days) I’ll let you know.

yup go forth Matt,
gather all folk, truckdriver pop and experimental sounds from any obscure corner of a city or region in this world where you or one might find yourself!
that’s what I’ve been into the past 6 months and it makes one wonder at the amount of quality stuff produced everywhere on the globe in remote places, stuff that otherwise never reaches back home!
keep it wide, open and continuous, just like you did so well on everything african!

Chris,
Believe it or not I’m really not much of a lyrics guy.. so no, I don’t know of any good sites.
Cheers,
Matt
