Gosh, my vacation sure was great. In addition to all the previous adventures there was some family stuff (not important), amazing food (somewhat important), and a Posh Spice sighting (very important).

In my travels many a CD was purchased, but so far the best of the pile are the pair of Nigerian compilations—Nigeria Rock Special and Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump—that have soundtracked the trip. The Nigerian sound is a loose and classic style that balances the influence of Western rock alongside vivid local rhythms and a whole lot of homespun funk. These two compilations, which focus on music from the freewheeling 1970s, are just a few of many that chronicle this vibrant sound.

And, no, there is no such thing as Dear Sir or Madam: A Salute to the Nigerian Email Scam. But if there was, I’d totally send them my bank account information and social security number. I’m going to be rich!
