today: the name of a song i've been hunting for for ages. for three years now i've been completely mesmerized by the version of the diwali riddim that bobby konders drops 24:30 into his amazingly great mad sick head nah good mix. i couldn't figure out the name from the bewildering track list for that mix (it turns out it's unlisted), and had given up hope for hearing a full version, assuming that it was a custom edit or something.

then today, after finally getting a chance to hear wayne marshall's fantastic another crunk genealogy mix/bloggariddims podcast episode (check it out, and don't skip the master's thesis-worthy accompanying text/inline mp3s), i finally learned it was actually one of lenky's own reworks of the diwali riddim, and was in fact commercially released and all (and that i would have heard it years ago if i had just bought that damned greensleeves riddim comp).

anyway, i finally got to hear the whole thing today! i plan on listening to it on repeat for a while now.
