Shitty music retrospective #1 : Dr. Alban

Going back to my roots, calling Afrika, caaaaaaalling Afrika, calling Afrika!



Dr. Alban factoid #1 : Dr Alban is a Nigerian dentist.

True story: my dad (who is also a dentist) once told me that there was a DJ playing in town who was a dentist, and this meant that dentists were cool. He knew because he read it in the newspaper. Said dentist was actually Ryan "the dentist" Dent, who is not actually a dentist, in case you were also fooled by his nickname.

And some trivia to link your last two articles together; the lead singer of TV on the Radio, Tunde Adebimpe, is also Nigerian born, though is now based in Brooklyn. He has been the lead actor in a couple of indie films, and is primarily an animator, having worked for Celebrity Death Match and directed the music video for Pin by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Cool, i didnt know that. I've seen the music video for Pin, and its pretty cool, although its hard to think of something with Karen O in it, that isnt cool.
