Saturnz Barz

Hey guys!

It’s that time again; you have to help me wish a good friend of mine Happy Birthday. It’s like always, the choice in music and tea comes from the one that is celebrating the birthday. I’ve known the birthday boy for a few years now (not many but just enough to consider him a good friend) and I’ve got to say there aren’t so many people that make me feel comfortable and relaxed like I do in his company. It’s good to have a pal that you can joke around and still have a serious conversation and you my friend are one of them.

And now, the song …to tell you the truth usually when it comes to music we are pretty different, but his choice is actually a track that I like and it's one I've written about before, so this is going to be easy. In this marvelous day we are going to listen to “Saturnz Barz” by Gorillaz featuring Popcaan. This is an infectious track that seems to infuse some trap style base with a reggae influences and of course Gorillaz old sound. The melody gives me a feeling of being trapped in a bizarre and psychological “experiment” and maybe that’s what makes this experience of a song so great. Plus the minute Damon starts singing really keeps me hooked in.

For the tea it’s going to be a rooibos tea cause that’s his favorite, with some alcohol (vodka of course). And we came up with the perfect blend and name so it could be something he really would enjoy. The name of our tea is Spice Spirit and it’s a combination of: rooibos, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, fennel ... and our much beloved vodka. Plus if you cool it down and add some cranberry juice, a little more vodka and garnish it with some thin slices of lemon, you can turn into a great cocktail.

Kisses and Go dink you tea (and help me with the wishes for the birthday boy), I’m already drinking mine.

Happy Birthday my good friend, have an awesome day!
