I recently took a step into the present by embracing Adobe Lightroom 2 for my photo workflow. As a result, I’ve been digging through the archives and tagging photos from years ago. I came across these two — I think I may have missed them when I posted the gallery in 2006.

My man Caleb turned me on to Amadou and Mariam a few months ago, and I just got my hands on this song from their Welcome to Mali album. It takes a while, but the bass drops in at 01:37 and kicks from there. Can’t get that beat out of my head.
UPDATE: Adam sent me the info about a mixtape by Theophilus London sampling this track — I’ve uploaded it here: Grey X Sage by Theophilus London.
I played photo association (like word association) while listening to it and pulled these three out of the archives (as always, click on any image to enlarge it, and click one side of it to advance):
