Thanks to the Soundway’s Panama! comps we know about how much amazing music has come out of this tiny (but geographically fascinating) country. Chief Boima (SF heads can catch him spin, among other places, at Little Baobab) has posted an amazing remix of You’re A Jerk. There’s also a Nigerian remix, but I have to agree with Boima on this one, the Panama version kills it.

Also, of somewhat related interest, although I have a basic familiarity with Jerkin’ and the culture that it entails for over a year now thanks to the internet, it was only this month that I actually personally witnessed a black teenager in skinny jeans. I sometimes like to think about how science fiction was once the stuff people would write about concerning the future, but these days science fiction mostly consists of stuff going on in the present, but perhaps we will soon be entering a phase where science fiction is the stuff that we are writing about from the past that we are only now fully aware of.
