This is a guest article from a true city dweller, troubadour and music maker Sary Tash look for his new mix “i breathed her name with every embrace” here very soon.

• Shit like WMC, Ultra, INC and the like 0wn or whatever,
  though the simple reality of BEING in Miami seems to overshadow
  them sometimes. Just driving around and listening to the radio
  often feels as Neptunian an experience as watching some
  Australian bleed on amplified glass ever could be.

  There’s nowhere else like it in the world, and in
  few places is that fact more plain than in some
  of my favoritest Dade county places:

  24 hr Cuban interzone neighboring the Cameo Theatre.

  Frequented by a continual parade of lunatics, hustlers,
  latino pensioners, prophets, hustlers, tourists, and
  hustlers. Eating three meals a days here for three
  straight months, you see as much of life’s grand
  cavalcade as one might experience over a year of
  riding boxcars or running the tiltawhirl at some
  dusty and faraway fair.

  Food’s divine, by the way. Never had a bad meal here,
  never heard the juke box play a single bad song. This
  the playa is realness its ownself, smiling in your
  direction, raising her glass in a toast…

  an unfathomable man with a wizard’s understanding of physics
  rends a dreamscape from granite to win the heart of a
  ghost who’d long him. nowhere on earth is like this.

  Hypereccentric late night Nicaraguan joint so
  resplendently festooned with shiny objects, i’m
  firmly convinced it’s one of the few rice and
  bean establishments visible from earth’s outer
  orbit.
