That Other Place 1d ago

This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #AsianMusic. Instead of any single song the theme reminded me of a documentary film that I saw on Finnish TV about a decade ago - and I found out that it's now freely available on on YouTube:

Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock & Roll (2014)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxD7fnNRppg

Although some parts of the story are very sad (as you might expect, if you know anything about Cambodian history), the film includes lots of wonderful music and amazing film clips from the 1960s and 1970s.

Low dopamine this morning in Siem Reap. Just sitting with coffee, the breeze, and my thoughts — slower, but still moving forward. Sometimes progress isn’t fast, it’s just showing up anyway.
