I had no idea that Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds ie Noel Gallagher had another album out. This is my favorite track on the album --> “The Dying of the Light”. Here’s also to me celebrating 20 years of being entertained by Gallaghers with great songs, voices and eyebrows. (via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jKUf3ppgnA)

Kwabs - Walk (Official Video). Love this video and NOT because 1. He has the same name as me (Tuesday-born in Akan [Ghana] but the male version of my name) 2. He and my brother share two names or because 3. He is of Ghanaian descent. Love this song because it is awesome and Kwabs is definitely going places with that great voice.

Seven Mary Three - Cumbersome (Video). It is 3am and I am up. Browsing the internet I found the video for one of my insomniac favorites. Cumbersome by Seven Mary Three. I once stumbled upon this video many years ago when I was up all night due to insomnia. Interestingly, the video is not quite like I remember it. Seemed a little more aggressive when I first saw it….in my teens but quite innocuous now. Great song nonetheless

Oasis - Where Did It All Go Wrong? (Official Video). Okay so the video is a little self-absorbed but the lyrics and music are still on point

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela; 18 July 1918 – 5 December 2013

A true icon, a leader and a man who inspired generations of South Africans, Africans and people all over the world. The first picture is the image of Nelson Mandela I grew up with, the 2nd is of how the world saw him after 27 years in prison while the 3rd image is how many will remember him. Nelson Mandela is gone but will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.

Bone marrow is the site of blood cell production. Differentiating white blood cells (green), part of the body’s immune system, and red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body, are seen amongst reticular fibres (yellow).

"If I had a gun" - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Few songs I've heard lately are perfect from beginning to end. This is definitely one of them.  Noel Gallagher is back on top form again. In my opinion, its one of his best songs since Oasis' "Where Did it all go Wrong?" from Standing on the Shoulder of Giants (2000).
