Kenya’s Biggest Source Of Foreign Currency Is Bleeding Dangerously

Kenyans abroad are sending a lot less money back home Like many low- and middle-income countries, remittances — which are basically funds sent home by nationals living/working abroad — play a significant role in supporting families, improving living standards, and generally bolstering the local economy. But remittances have nosedived since COVID-19 went from outbreak to pandemic, and in Kenya where funds repatriated from abroad are the biggest source of foreign currency, things may be going very south. Data from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) indicates that the country’s biggest source of foreign capital inflows is shrinking. Last month, Kenyans living outside the country sent home all of USD 208 Mn, some 9 percent less than the amount sent home in March. The dip in remittances is not unconnected to the shocks caused by the global pandemic and the situation might yet worsen. The country’s apex bank expects funds sent back home to shrink by as much as 15 percent for the whole of this year. The plunge is also…

Spotify Finally Allows You to Add as Many Songs to Your Library as You Want

Long before Spotify was a thing, I collected music on my computer during my college days. That collection, which had everything from Cradle of Filth to Dashboard Confessional, to Reverend Horton Heat, easily surpassed 10,000 songs by the end of my first semester as a freshman. By the time I graduated, I had close to 40,000 songs, which are still on that old external hard drive. I definitely had to spend a lot of money on the requisite hardware, but now that we’ve been able to stream music to our phones for a while, there’s no such thing as limits—at least that’s how it’s often felt. But Spotify has capped the number of items you can add to your library for a long time. On Tuesday, the music streaming service announced that it’s stepping into the limitless present and trashing that archaic 10,000 song restriction.

George Floyd, Killed By Minneapolis Police, Was Houston Rapper & DJ Screw Collaborator

Two days ago, an onlooker captured cell-phone video of Minneapolis police forcefully restraining an unarmed black man, 46-year-old George Floyd, at a bus stop. One white officer knelt on top of Floyd, pressing his knee against Floyd's neck for seven minutes. Floyd said that he couldn't breathe, and then his body went limp. Onlookers pleaded for the officer to get off of him. Later, at a hospital, Floyd was pronounced dead. Since then, four police officers have been fired, and police have used tear gas, smoke bombs, flash grenades, and rubber bullets against protesters. As it turns out, Floyd was once a part of one of America's most vital rap scenes. The Houston Chronicle reports that Floyd was born in North Carolina, but he grew up in Houston and became star high-school athlete, getting into Florida State University on a basketball scholarship.

Bright Eyes – “One And Done”

In a couple of days, Bright Eyes' tremulous, heart-wrecked landmark sophomore album Fevers And Mirrors will celebrate its 20th anniversary. (More on that one later.) Conor Oberst was a 20-year-old kid when he made that record. Over the years, his band has gone through a bunch of different permutations, triumphs, and stretches of inactivity. Bright Eyes were supposed to spend this spring touring for the first time in nine years, but thanks to the whole global-pandemic situation, that won't happen until next year. The band has, however, been releasing new songs lately. Today, we get another one. There's a new Bright Eyes album in the works. We don't know the details yet, but we've heard the songs "Persona Non Grata" and "Forced Convalescence." Today, the band has shared a third one called "One And Done."
