MAHJONGG was like walking south on bedford in angola. third world drum circles with a sampler and a computer going at all times. integrated but audible vocals.

i saw them in a livingroom a few years back and they scared me. then i saw one of the dudes in austin and he was carrying a huge ghetto blaster and had gold chains and just looked ridiculous. made me feel old and jaded. still, i'd like to see them now. especially in visalia. did you see let's go sailing, too?

yes, we saw let's go sailing and they were really good!

someone should make an animated ranger elizabeth to accompany her contributions. and someone should make me an "i heart ranger elizabeth" t-shirt.
