A couple days ago I heard this song on the radio and it seemed familiar for some reason. I’d never heard it before, but it reminded me of the music my mom used to blast on our tiny tape player in the kitchen when I was growing up (which I think I used to hate but now find strangely comforting…kind of like fish sauce on mangoes).

The song is called Shave Your Beard by Dengue Fever and it’s a cover of a classic Cambodian pop song. I don’t think my mom ever listened to Cambodian pop when I was growing up, but she listened to a lot of Cantonese pop…I guess there must be some similarities.

Anyways the song also made me hungry!
