Nando's Musaic 2022 got me to pull out a couple of CDs I've not made time for yet. This one rocks:
Interesting story on this group. The founder, Simon Tam, is the guy who took the US Trademark Office all the way to the Supreme Court - and won - because they wouldn't let them use this as a name. They termed it racially insensitive or somesuch. The irony is that apparently, this is how younger Asian-Americans refer to themselves.
I have the book - Slanted - which he wrote about the court case that I'm going to read during recuperation. He spoke at UTC last fall and then did a set at Songbirds later that evening, What I could hear of his presentation was pretty cool. Wish I could have gone to the show after listening to this CD. Alas, I was working another show on campus that night.
