album of the year, already …

Troubador by k'naan, a Somali-Canadian emcee, is the hottest album I've heard in a while. Every single cut on this record is funny, political, and makes me want to dance like it is 1959. "TIA" and "Wavin' Flag" are my favorites so far. Normally I hate to be that guy who links you to YouTube non-videos of songs he likes, but I dare you to listen to

Why 1959?

The beats just evoke fifties- and sixties-ish moves in me, I guess?
