Today’s music brought to you by Sylvan Esso.

Hey Mami…

They are a local band from Durham, NC who made it big! :] North Carolina has so many great things! Watch out NYC, we have nerdy hillbilly coolness AND nature! We’ll call ourselves the Big Tobacco, the City that Sometimes Sleeps. Okay, that’s not so cool.

Turn it around.

Feels like a curse.

Sounds likes a dream.

Don’t know what it means.

But it means everything.

Two of us on the run.

I can be the one who’s going insane.

A bike ride from our place in Brooklyn. We ate here so many times.

I love ya girl.

Took me 5 years to find them…but I did.

Music – Make Me Feel Alive Again

Tags

A Change Is Gonna Come, AHI, Alive Again, Bob Boilen, Cara Reynolds, Closer (From a Distance, DIY Musicians Conference, Frank Carter Rische, Maria Emilia Borja, Mushpa + Mensa, Mushpa Y Mensa, music, music video, Nashville, NPR, Ol' Sweet Day, Ontario, Robbie Crowell, Sam Cooke, Shawn Killaly, Tiny Desk Concert, true love, We Made It Through The Wreckage

I said in Mushpa + Mensa’s 2018 goals meeting that for our blog entries this year no more posting just music videos as an entry. Saying it more for myself than anyone, being the only person that does it. :] I went on to say, we need the entries to have sustenance, depth, words, links pictures, etc. It has to be a REAL blog entry. The last few days I have been thinking about what I should write about and nothing raised my interest. Cut to this morning when I went to check my e-mails and found this…

I was mesmerized, enraptured really. Move in an undefinable way that music gifts you. It connects you to the place of magic, which these days is not always easy to find. Music, when good, allows your vision to clear and your strength to return.

AHI’s (pronounce eye) music brings good things to the table. It creates hope in humanity’s light and confirms the existence of beautiful humans. That in itself is worth writing about.

So down with the rules, first blog entry of 2018 is a music video my friends. Forgive me my love!

We bring light to the table.

Mushpa y Mensa does have a Kickstarter project, Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover!  Thank you for asking. ;-]

In fact, Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover is now more than 50% funded thanks to all that have pledge so far! That is super awesome! Also, we want to give thanks to all that have promoted us through social media, emails, word of mouth and the like. Speaking of, Generation (WH)Y? just wrote a piece on two ongoing Kickstarter projects, one being ours, entitled, Two Cool Kickstarter Campaigns In New York City. It is a great read so read it! :]

My friends, we have 47% to go in 16 days, meaning:

If 135 people give $25 to  Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover we’re done. That’s 1 drink in NYC! Love us like you love to drink! http://kck.st/1lcBtmi

Please excuse the shameless promotion, but we need to get this done to move on to the next part, so we are able to come see all of you in our Magical Motor Machine full of our magical wares!

Thank you for your time. :]
