Set List for Sunday's Gig

Well - it's tough to do a set list through the haze of memory, but digging through my records I can roughly recall what I did or didn't play at Sunday's gig. So here's the setlist.

You've got the Roots, Mos Def and my favorite Jill Scott song (well, the original one anyway)! Woot! You hardly hear that in Singapore...

Now if you have Bahamadia, Del the Funky Homosapien and A Tribe Called Quest on the playlist, I'll definitely go to the next set! When are you playing again?

It's not like there're hundreds of liquor stores in the town, I'm guessing. I like how they keep referring to him as Mr. Jackson...

(Random fact: "bugger" is related to "Bulgaria".) So I thought every now and then I'd put up random lists of words English borrows from various languages - well, besides French, German, and Spanish, or I'll exhaust myself from typing. I thought I'd start with Malay, national language of Singapore. Wikipedia already has a partial list , but I thought I'd come up with a list that also included a few other loan words. The obvious ones are words for things that are indigenous to the region - plants (durian, rambutan, bamboo, sago, camphor ), animals (orang-utan, pangolin, cassowary), and cloth ( gingham , sarong). But there's a whole bunch that're less obvious, even to native English speakers from this region: amok . If you asked me to name one English loan word that'
