tyggerjaiRocking the garage. I have Nastyushka hanging out pretty much all night, from levitators to ice blocks. Last week my automation board op was Sharom, who is quieter than most of our Malay boys, but has the same knack of reading my mind and just Getting Shit Done. And this week not only do I have Wadi back on my crew (ditto), but also Sharom's ... um ... cousin? The Malay boys rock my world. We have Wadi, Junior, Edy and Sharom. Solid work ethic, totally relaxed, and we got them as a bulk lot - they're all related in some odd way, and they've been hanging together basically all their lives. Krew. Posse. Family. Whatever you want to call it.
And it spills over - Wadi, Sharom and I can work the garage as a threesome pretty much without words. Most of that is Wadi and Sharom, but it comes from having worked with clued people for so long that you're totally in tune with the people around you, and how they're working. Junior does the same thing - watches, thinks, and just does. After 2 days in the garage, he's got the same rhythm - see something that needs doing, start it, hand it off with a nod when needed. I love them. And they bring you tonight's garage moment - Sharom behind his glowing auto board, side lit by the LEDs on his comms station, bopping from foot to foot like a DJ behind the decks, while Junior's iPod plays ... Matisyahu.
Because apparently, they're very big on Hassidic reggae, good Muslim Malay boys that they are. I guess it's not Ramadan anymore ....
