A Bag of CDRs - Funk Pesadao Mix

Funny Accent Out Now on Modular Moods/Shemspeed

BUY FUNNY ACCENT FOR ONLY $8!!!
Balagan breaks down thusly: "Balagan": Persian->Turkic "wooden shack"->Russian "circus sideshow; farce"->Yiddish/Polish/Israeli Hebrew "mess; chaos" In Hebrew I also break it down "ba'al ha-gan" = "master of the garden" (reference to Voltaire's Candide) In Arabic "bala jnaan" can be "without craziness" and Balaganoosh is what I will name my first cookbook. Mmm... THE SCIENCE IS TOO THICK!!! Oh and I make words into sentences that describe music for Baltimore City Paper, Wax Poetics, and other fine publications.
